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 AfricaUnit sleeps 4 people. 2 plate stove rusted. 1 coffee cup. 2 tsp. Broken cooking utensils. Key to unit did not work properly. At one stage we had to call security guard to come unlock from the outside after we arrived. In the early morning, we by mistake turned the key too far when my partner went out and we could not unlock the door again and battled for about 10min when we finally got door unlocked when we wanted to leave. One window could not open to allow more fresh air in. Supply a fan but no 2 pin plug supplied for fan. No curtain cover on shower window. Fridge made quite a bit of noise during the night..sounded like kettle being switched on regularly 😄
Bedding was clean and beds nicely made. Hot water available for a shower. Late check in and early check out was possible through the security guard. Supplied clean (old) towels and soap. Tea, coffee, sugar and cremora were supplied.

South AfricaThey could add a bit more to the rooms to make our stay comfortable like a brush to clean the toilet, 2 seater couch, a TV, the WiFi was not working, they should also clean thoroughly before the next guest comes.
The location was close to town, the place is quiet and peaceful and the staff was friendly.

South Africa1stly we booked a queen luxury room and we were given a queen comfy. I phoned the inn and was told it has a private en suite. Well I'm sure the place was only recently completed. The bedside cupboard has no handles as they were still inside the drawer. No chair to sit on There was no place to put our bags on. There was nowhere to hang towels after the shower. Nowhere to put bathroom goodies on. No mirror in the bathroom . No soap holder or hooks in the shower. Shower head facing the corner of the shower and made it very difficult to shower. The room was bare as the bathroom was. Only one bed one bedside cupboard and one very small square foot stool. No bedside lights nothing. No kettle or cups or glasses nothing. No bar fridge. One good thing is the bedding was lively clean and Smelt nice . One lovely fur pile blanket on the bed. One towel really small and a hand towel was provided and 1/4 roll of toilet paper. Tiles on the floor were lovely. Bathroom wall by toilet extremly rough. No bathroom door. Not to mention the fact that the bathroom ceiling was not completed.and this caused a bad cold draft through the bathroom to the room. The entrance door was also not fitted properly. We could see the light through the gaps right around the door. The door was cut high off the floor and a door stopper was used to cover this up and the cold wind that came through the door all night long straight onto the bed wasn't pleasant. The door handle was also broken. After I complained to the owners they sent security to came and tell us we could change rooms but we were already in bed and settled. I was not impressed at all. I'm sorry but in all honesty I will not recommend this establishment to anyone. Owner also said that Booking dot come made the mistake and not them . . I still have the whatsapp if you perphaps need to see this.

South AfricaShared bathroom facility but the bathroom door lock broken, and cannot lock the bathroom door !!!!! . Woman alone sharing a bathroom with men, poses a major problem for me when you cannot even lock the bathroom/toilet door. The area the guesthouse is situated is not very nice, feels very unsafe outside. Would not recommend for a lady alone to book in at this guesthouse.
The place was clean and tidy inside.
