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 AfricaNothing.
Everything from the colorful design of the living room, the self catering unit, braai facilities. What a beautiful and well-kept living space. It was very very clean and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The town is small but it is the quiet side of the country that I was looking for to have quality time with my wife as newly wed couple. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

GermanyBreakfast is a good effort but quite plain, with low quality ingredients. The gym is very basic. The lodge is load-shedding proof, but the main generator only works from 17h which doesn't help you during the day. The internet only works intermittently and made remote working quite challenging, often reverting to mobile hotspot.
We used as a base for a nearby music festival. The lodge is filled with antiques, and well decorated and furnished. There is safe inside shaded parking. Staff are friendly. Room was comfortable and had a usable kitchenette, however it lacked many utensils to do any real cooking. Bathroom was comfortable. Aircon in the room was great.

South AfricaThe downside was that Guests booking in after hours were Extremely rowdy & inconsiderate!! The fridge shouldve been switched on before Arrival! Dinner wasn't that great ie. Chicken Cordon Blue dry, Chicken Burger Roll was far too small. Waited far too long for our meal. Boiled potato was still hard, No Garlic Butter/cheese added. D/bed mattress was also too small especially when both are Big!! Quite noisy from the Main Rd. Sounded like we were in a Tavern. Front gate a bit concerning regarding being open & No security at the gate.
I liked the options Laura gave us regards to the inside self catering & outside which outside suited us just fine until the noise started when the Locals started getting drunk! Staff very willing to assist, accommodating & friendly.

South AfricaBar fridge could have been switched on when we arrived. Nice to be able to put some chilled drinks inside, rather than waiting for fridge to cool down for hour.
The dinner options and food quality in the Restaurant was better then expected. We had a lovely time.

South AfricaNothing, I really enjoyed my room.
I opted for a stay without breakfast so can't comment on the breakfast. All thanks to Lorralee who managed to get not just one room but all 3 of our rooms ready ahead of check-in time, that with a full hotel the previous night. Thank you very much Lorralee!! We managed to get to the wedding on time. I was looking for you the next morning, but you weren't working that morning, I think. Thank you again. Hopefully Sadie and I can stay again at some point, would be lovely.

South AfricaThe Country Lodge is an oasis of order in contrast to the decay of the town of Citrusdal. Friendly and helpful staff, good food (has oxtail, very tasty and tender). The room as comfy, just wished for a window/fanlight I could open overnight, for fresh air.

South AfricaI can't complain much except for the style of floor bathroom tile used. It can be slippery especially when moist from the shower steam so put some towels on the floor to walk on. Otherwise, you can take the establishment and put it in Cape Town and it can compete against the top establishments therein.
Food was good. Rooms were good size. Lots of antiques on the premises almost felt like I was back in time. If I'm a music video director I could use this as a location. Film my star singer using the old model phones.
