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.).

PhilippinesThe front room gets too much noise from the car park and reception desk. Unfortunately there were really noisy other guests. I complained and there was an appropriate response the next day but that did not gain me any sleep.
Very friendly and helpful staff, big room comfortably furnished. Lovely pool area behind the house.

South AfricaWe stayed in Room 5. Pillowcases were not changed from the previous guest - they were dirty/ sweaty and there was some hair under the large pillows. The uvet had food stains. There was no sheet under the duvet and I had to ask that they add it after changing the bedding. Our shower door had soap scum. Its been there for a while because when they trued to clean it they were unsuccessful. The bedside tables had dust and food stains on the drawers. The room and the kitchen smelt of cigarette smoke even though there's clear signs warning guests not to smoke. The blanket in the wardrobe needs to be washed as it has a foul odour. I don't understand why hotels and BnBs do not put floor mats in the showers. They put white towels instead on the floor which just get filthy after you shower and step on them. These things put us off. I would like to give this establishment the benefit of the doubt. If other guests rate it so high then please go and book it. It's just that our stay was totally forgettable. I would say our experience is not the norm based on the reviews of other guests.
Super comfy bed. Self catering kitchen with full stove and oven. Safe parking and electric fence. The lady manager with the glasses. She addressed all my complaints and apologized. This place is rated almost 9/10 on Booking.com. I don't doubt the other reviews as they are the ones that led me to book it.

South AfricaI didn't like the setup of sharing the lounge and kitchen. TV channels were poor. The bed was very small, single bed. The room was small. There was no bath soap provided. It got worse when people started cleaning before I checked out of the property.

South AfricaThe place is a bit neglected. The pool area and the braai area was not cleaned at all, unusable for guests. Bathroom window in Room 6 could not close, needs to be fixed.
Great location not far from Moses Mabhida and Florida road. We were there for the Comrades marathon so we did not spend much time there, comfortable stay if you are there just to sleep and spend most of the day away. Good stay overall. Fantastic host in Charlene.
