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 AfricaNothing, our stay was amazing and we even got a little champagne courtesy of the Lodge as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary.
The views where magnificent, the breakfast was absolutely delicious and to top it off there are little off roads so you can walk to neighbouring vineyards for wine tasting.

QatarThe friendly staff and homely atmosphere was really welcoming. The homemade breakfast especially the bran muffins was incredible. It was a really close walk through the vines to the Zorgvliet winery. The room was unbelievable and we were lucky enough to get upgraded to the deluxe room. That bathroom is now in my dreams to build one day.

South AfricaLoadshedding still affects the property and experience negatively. Hopefully a generator/full solar is on the horizon.
Best view in Stellenbosch. Comfortable, sizeable room (6). Just a relaxing, wonderful stay. The Manager (Michael) was attentive to all our needs.

United KingdomThe air conditioner went off when there was load shedding, as did the sockets, so I couldn't do my hair before a wedding and we were hot in the night. When we returned from the wedding at 1030pm, there was no water as it was load shedding, We had to wait until midnight for the water to come back on to wash and clean our teeth before bed. We were told the next morning that somebody had forgotten to turn the switch that would keep it on!
The staff were friendly, warm, welcoming. Our room was large and beautifully furnished, with lovely mountain views. The bathroom was modern and, very nicely done with all we needed. The bed was comfortable and the mini bar had a nice selection. Breakfast was delicious and served by a friendly helpful staff member.

South AfricaThe poor amenities for the price. no full- length mirror, no hand towel rail, no plug at mirror for hair dryer, no privacy in bathroom, outside people looking into bedroom, way too expensive for the room, outside door difficult to close, not enough complimentary water. on the plus side, the view from the room is outstanding and it was close to the wedding venue but they are taking advantage of this by their high price

Possibly the most beautiful hotel view I have ever seen! I don’t think the photos do it justice. This place is AMAZING! The rooms are beautiful, the breakfast was delicious (French toast, bacon, banana, cream cheese and honey is my recommendation). Staff were lovely and it’s an easy taxi or drive to Stellenbosch and Franschoek.
