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 AfricaThe location was perfect to the amenities around. Jan was such a super host and we enjoyed the personalized service he gave. His knowledge of the area and the places to visit allowed us to see more of Franschhoek during our stay. The cottage is so neat and tidy with everything you need. The outside has a cute pool area perfect to lounge around. Really enjoyed our stay and hoping to come back soon.

South AfricaThere was nothing that I did not like.
Jan was awesome and so attentive. He went out of his way to make us feel special chocolates by the bed each evening, clean towels, flowers on the pillow. He advised us on the best restaurants.. He was an absolute angel. Not many people go out of their way as he did. We will definitely be back again

South AfricaTV. We would have liked the full DSTV or been able to project our phone onto the TV, but we used our account and watched on iPad so we were fine with that. Being older we don't go out at night.
It was exceptionally clean, and very near to all shops and restaurants. The Owner spoilt us with wonderful little touches. Jan went out of his way to Courier a watch we had left behind the same day we left. The accommodation had everything one would need.

United KingdomNothing!!....usual Eskom last minute load shedding schedules are frustrating and out of his control but Jan makes every effort to alleviate this as the flat is supplied with rechargeable lamps and lightbulbs and a flask so that you can store boiling water before you go to bed to use in the morning. Wi-Fi works throughout on a back-up inverter. Jan sends you regular load shedding schedules so you're always aware. Quick Tip...don't forget to turn off lamps and TV before the power cuts as they'll come on again in the middle of the night...we learnt by our mistakes ;-)
Perfect location, short walk into town. Cottage is well equipped. Jan's attention to detail is second to none. Welcome bottle of local wine in the fridge. Ice provided on request. Jan pops in for a daily cleaning / Tidy up followed by an evening turn-down and added touches such as new cushions, throws, flowers on the pillow and local home-made chocolates. Full Guesthouse / Hotel service which was unexpected for an apartment. Pool area is amazing...Jan even kindly moved the sun lounger to the best sunny spot for me daily.

United StatesEverything was perfect!
Everything! The personal attention to detail by the owner was exceptional. He provided fresh linens each day, fresh coffee & cream, biscotti, fruit, chocolates at night with a turn down, towels on lounges by the pool. The cottage was charming with a kitchenette, dining table, living room, bedroom which opened to a private terrace and a swimming pool. Jan was extremely helpful with restaurant tips, winery suggestions, transportation ideas. The location was very central to the town…easy walking distance to restaurants and even a few wineries…the wine tram was a little over a block away. We stayed a week and wish we could have lingered longer! Blue Cobalt was truly a home away from home for us. We will be back!
