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 AfricaI stayed in room 11 and while it was fine, it really wasnt anything special. It was outdated and could do with a more modern update
The atmosphere was great and I can see much fun being had there with the entertainment. Staff were friendly and service was good.

TanzaniaA minor thing I didn't like, they are cashless. Being cashless is not a problem, but the problem is prior information. So, they don't return the change when you pay in cash. And for my case, I had some local currency and had nowhere to use them. As I said, it is minor; just be ready to lose some coins or banknotes when you pay in cash.
It is located not far from CSIR conference center, hence it was suitable for me. The breakfast was great and at a reasonable price. The staff had good customer care. Overall, I enjoyed staying at Casa Toscana Lodge.

South AfricaThe manager Chantelle was not kind... When I called her for someone to open the gate for us.. She asked me what time is it.. And she said I should come back the following day to sort out reservation issues meanwhile I m booked for the same day she is chasing us... She never even apologize for the rude behavior.. Being placed in a substandard room that I did not book for, with no towels for bathing and cockroaches.... .. This time I was not happy....

South AfricaWould have liked back-up power to wifi and essential loads like lights and laptop. The toilette seat was of substandard quality and sit loose. Did not like it when people smoked in front of my room/window.
I really enjoyed staying at Casa Toscana as it was close to our work and it had access to a lovely restaurant with excellent singers. Really memorable and would come again!

New ZealandI requested 1 bed in 1 of the rooms and singles in the rest but it wasn’t prepared. The receptionist tried to convince me to take the room with 2 beds or move away from the others I was staying with but I refused. She eventually fix it, but wasn’t happy about it.
The property is clean and lovely, the beds were incredibly comfortable. We LOVED their restaurant - Lesi and had a blast. I even booked a second night to stay. The spa staff were lovely too.
