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.).

CanadaStairs up to the room are quite steep. That was okay for us, but may be an issue for those with mobility challenges.
Lovely, helpful hosts. A nice sized room. Comfortable bed. Clean room and bathroom. Quiet area, conveniently close to nature reserve and wine farms like Vergelegen and Lourensford. The snacks and items left in the fridge for us were a really nice, thoughtful bonus.

South AfricaHaving to leave :(
Firstly, Howard & Teresa are exceptional hosts, really welcoming, friendly and warm. They've gone out of their way to prepare a comfortable and clean space for guests with attention to detail (coffee, tea, sugar, milk and snacks were left for me). I felt blessed to have met them both. It was my first solo trip and it was a bit daunting but staying at their place quickly put me to ease. Lots to learn from these two and they have so much information to offer on attractions, activities and restaurants one can visit. Visited Giovanni's as per Teresa's recommendation and I was not disappointed, the Alfredo was delicious.😋 I would say that Brookwood Cottage is ideal for staying in or venturing out. It's a nice cosy place to stay in with Netflix and WiFi available. There's the option of going out to explore as well. Secondly, the environment is just overall relaxing and pleasant to the eyes. The garden is really beautiful and I was really impressed by the work put into creating this space being a gardener myself. The mountains can be seen from the upstairs cottage. Helderberg Nature Reserve is only 5 minutes away. Me and my partner took the Protea Trail which is surrounded by proteas, despite the area recently experiencing a fire, it is stunning regardless. Lastly, I would love to return to Brookwood Cottage and experience more. I'd definitely recommend it to family and friends as well :)
