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 bathroom was very large and there is ample space so I am not sure why the shower in the bathroom is so small. There is enough to space to put in a large luxury shower and even just changing the shower head would improve the shower. The water was also not particularly hot.
We attended a wedding in the area and decided to sleep over at Budmarsh to avoid driving back late at night. We were delighted with our choice of accommodation. The room was large and very comfortable. It had been heated up for our arrival and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful even taking photos of us all dolled up in the beautiful gardens. Breakfast the next morning was very good and once again the staff were polite, friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

South AfricaNo working underfloor heating and the tiles were freezing in the room/bathroom. (I'm sure it was disconnected due to inflated electricity rates).
Lovely location next to the river. Spacious room, comfortable bed and pillows. Clean and tidy, great staff and service. Loved the food and very accommodating with the menu. Room service was awesome.

United KingdomThe gas fires in my bedroom and that of my friend were not working in the morning, possibly out of gas, but they gave the rooms a lovely atmosphere when we arrived.
This is a very comfortable, characterful hotel. It reminds one strongly of the Cape in architecture and gardens. The bedrooms are huge, comfortable and nicely furnished, and the bathrooms large and well-equipped. Very friendly staff who could not do enough to make one welcome.

South AfricaBreakfast wasn’t so good and it took quite a while especially if you had ordered eggs Benedict. The rooms need a refresher especially the bathrooms, the shower was tiny and there’s no place to put product.
The evening kitchen staff is really good, the dinners were really amazing. The grounds are beautiful and it’s quiet. The waiters were helpful, especially Felix, he’s kind and lovely.

South AfricaAircon in the second bedroom didnt work and it was uncormfortable in the heat. They tried to put in a fan but that didnt help much. Christmas lunch was a complete disaster. Despite the fact that we paid in advance and were staying on the premises, we couldnt be accomodated in the main dining area on the day. The venue was overbooked and allowed people who werent staying at the premise to come in for lunch. So some residents found themselves sitting in an empty hall just tables, with no decorations, no music and still charged the full price of R550per person for the XMas lunch.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant makes good food.
