Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

South AfricaIt might have been nice to have had WiFi.
It was a really beautiful house. I loved that it was so spacious. I also appreciate that there was a gas stove so we could cook during load shedding. Wendy was so cool and so friendly.

A rare modern gem in Howick. We were there for 2 nights for a wedding but wished we could have stayed longer. The house was spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Will definitely go back. The host, Wendy, was very helpful and made us feel right at home.

The house is absolutely stunning!! The pictures don't do justice to this beautiful gem. It's in a peaceful location and Wendy was an absolute pleasure to speak to. She made us feel welcome from the start and her warm nature is truly something special. We checked in earlier than planned and she accommodated us. Will definitely be going back

South AfricaThe property was very modern and was spacious enough to have family and friends together (6 people) without ever feeling over-crowded at all. with all the load shedding in South Africa the Hosts were smart to install a gas stove and gas Braai (Barbeque). At no Point were we inconvenienced by anything during our stay. The most disappointing part of the stay is that we could not stay longer. we will definitely be going back to April house.

The house is stunningly beautiful, very quiet and you feel at peace at the place. House had everything could have asked for, enough beds and bathrooms for our big crowd of 9. All rooms were very clean. House is nicely located to all amenities.

South AfricaStunning house with well appointed but not over-the-top décor. Two of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms bringing the tally of bathrooms to three between the four bedrooms which is more than sufficient. The outdoor furniture makes it easy to enjoy the large garden. There is also a play area for children with a tree house. All of this plus the keen pricing makes it easy to recommend this property.

South AfricaThe fact that the house is in a quiet neighborhood so we were forced to keep reminding ourselves to speak softly, which is hard cause we are such a loud group but all in all our stay was amazing.
The house really exceeded all of our expectations, the pictures on the website really don't do it any justice. Also loved the fact that there were items in the house we could use and replace for e.g. Ice packs, wood for the fire place.

South AfricaI do think WiFi has become one of those things one can not do without. Most establishments offer it these days. Plus the TV, without having to pay extra for it. If we did have WiFi, then at least you have the option to log in with your own Netflix or whichever subscription.
The house is very comfortable and spacious for a group of 8. We were 2 families, 4 adults, and 4 kids ranging from 11 to 17.

South AfricaThe house needs a good clean. On arrival there were coke/coffee stains on floor. The lounge suites are dirty and had stains on..same with carpets. The shower's windows/glass in main on suite is VERY dirty. This could be a very nice place to stay if more care are given in upkeeping and cleaning.
Our bed in main bedroom was very comfortable and we had a good nights rest. House is nice and big.
