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 AfricaMajor maintenance is required: plumbing required. Appliances need upgrade- there was no kettle in our unit, toaster caught alight, microwave stopped working. Patio ceiling was dripping and leaking into the unit. Damp in the bedroom ceiling- made it difficult to sleep- noisy dripping. The rooms smelled like damp. Such a pity that maintenance is so poor as this is one of our favourite places to stay
Location and views are beautiful. Food at the restaurant is tasty. Staff are friendly- entertainment is great. Fun venue

South AfricaPayment was taken from my credit card on the day of booking. Subsequently I received 8 e-mails telling me how to make payment. On phoning the resort, I was told that my payment was not reflecting. A further e-mail from the resort indicated that payment was reflecting on the system, and I would have no problem at the resort. Within 10 minutes of checking into my unit, I received a call from reception telling me to present my proof of payment. I find this stressful, and unnecessary. There are quite a few maintenance issues with the unit, such as a non working microwave.
Restaurant - the restaurant menu was very limited and disappointing. However, when we visited for lunch, we were presented with a specials menu. This was well presented, and the food and service were excellent.

South AfricaHousekeeping wasn't really up to scratch. Our kettle wasn't working and needed to be replaced, which they did. Then the unit didn't have a can opener, then the housekeeper took our clean towels and left the dirty ones - which was eventually replaced.
I loved the view and how pleasant and accommodating the staff was.

South AfricaI stayed in unit 36B. A serious upgrade to the accomodation units is required. Furniture is old. Curtains in the room has holes in it. The room carpets are okd and stained in some places. Lounge area appears to have some dampness stains on the wall that requires a repaint. The couch in the lounge is old and uncomfortable with no arch support. The fridge in the kitchen is noisy and sounds like an instrument from an orchestra. The lighting is dull in the eating area and the lounge. The door separating 2 adjoining units must be replaced with a thicker solid door as you can hear the neighbour's chatting away next door. Games room closes at 6pm and should be extended to longer hrs. The reception closes at 530pm on Saturday but was closed at 5pm only to call the reception for some essential items. There should at least be a notice on the door indicating opening and closing hrs . The mirror in the bathroom was slightly cracked. I have stayed in. Other units previously and basically they need an upgrade
The fresh air of the Midlands. Location is good to use as a base to travel for a day trip to the Berg or Piggkel Wiggley. Enjoyed using the fore place in the lounge.

South AfricaWe booked at around 8pm for a 9pm check in due to an emergency. When we arrived the concierge was upset that he had to stay so late. He then gave us a key to a room that was dirty and not yet cleaned. We eventually got a key to a clean room which was lovely but unfortunately it was time for load shedding and there was only one candle provided. The next morning we found that we didnt have a hairdryer in our room and we requested one but it was never delivered. We were also not allowed to request a late check out.
