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 rooms we stayed in were very small. No hairdryer. One couple had a shower over a very tiny bath. The other showers were lovely.
Beautiful location and lovely breakfasts. If we stayed again we'd all for the front rooms

NetherlandsWe booked via booking.com a deluxe room (16m2) with kingsize bed, but instead we got - and Roger we don,t know why - a smaller regular room (12 m2). We only realised this on leaving. The bathroom looked and was expired. The room and bathroom were a little damp. (maybe also because of the wether)
The location was verry good. The lodge is situated in a park with securitycheck on arrival. Breakfast was excelent and Roger, the manager, was verry helpfull. We didn,t use the pool, but it looked verry OK.

South AfricaNo choice for breakfast - just one option for all each day. I would have preferred some flexibility. No view of the beautiful mountains because the bush is overgrown and blocks the view.
very friendly host, well situated, clean and peaceful.

South AfricaAppointment of furniture in bedroom..... maybe because we had two single beds but access to mirror was awkward with outside light making face a silhouette! Tea bar was cramped. A chair would have been nice for second suitcase. WiFi didn't reach bedroom... suggest a booster.
The host was charming and attentive. Breakfast was just right! Bedding was fantastic!

South KoreaCould use a little deeper clean, curtains and bathroom nooks and ledges. Sound travels quite easily from the main area into cottage 1.
Warm and cosy with everything you need. Owner was incredibly attentive. Breakfast was delicious and varied. The bed and all linen were crisp and comfortable.

South AfricaNo TV in the room.
Beautiful cottage and room was clean and tidy. Roger is very well organized and a friendly host. Check-in was quick and easy. A Zebra popped by in the morning for a visit. Also, lots of birds, monkeys and baboons in the area but they don't bother you. Walking distance to the Drakensberg Sun and short drive to major attractions in Cathkin Park.
