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 barbeque facilities are gas. We would have preferred braai facilities that cater for a wood/charcaol braai.
The location is wonderful, beautiful views and well equipped. Nice heating. We loved our stay.

LesothoThe facility is satisfactorily clean but could use a final housekeeping check before visitors arrive. Being located in a natural environment, it is expected to see a few bugs here ane there. Nothing all too alarming of course.
A truely excellent getaway spot, excellent location and within a secure estate. It balances the experience of being home away from home. Loved it. Also, I LOVE that I can shower with the door open to a fresh breeze blowing down from the mountain.

South AfricaLebo was absolutely fantastic. Due to an unexpected emergency, we arrived late and Lebo was very patient in assisting us. The unit itself was very well situated, in a quiet and stunning part of Clarens. The unit was meticulously cleaned and stocked with everything that was needed. It did get very cold, so the electric blankets were appreciated, as well as Lebo's tip to get firewood, which we bought from the store in town just a 2 minute drive away. We absolutely loved staying at Cute & Quirky and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a perfect Clarens getaway.

Location was secure n private. Sunny situation with sun streaming into the unit. Luxuries like underfloor heating, indoor-outdoor shower, modern conveniences with noisy machines out of communal living area.

South AfricaThere was a lot of load shedding during our stay and our hosts did let us know in advance, but some emergency lights in the sitting area would be nice. The outside table and benches are lovely and comfy with cushions to sit on while you use the gas braai but during the day this bakes in the sun and in the evening it gets too cold to sit outdoors, a patio heater and umbrella may be nice additions for future. I know it sound like I'm complaining, but it didn't worry us, just points we noticed that could improve future stays. There is new development happening around the unit so there was a bit of noise on Friday and some workers wondering around. Hopefully this will be over soon.
Nice airy modern feel. Well thought out process for easy, minimal contact on arrival and departure. Controlled access and close to town but far enough to feel like you are in the country side. Loved the fireplace and under floor heating in the bathrooms. Hosts were forth coming and helpful even though we never met them in person and only communicated via whatsapp and email. (which is actually what we prefer🤣) For those wanting more info.... Beds are firm, but comfy and bedding, including electric blankets, well equipped to handle the chilly evenings ( we visited end Sept). The shower pressure was amazing! Lovely big fridge and freezer, complete with ice trays. Nice undercover parking right in front of the entrance for 2 cars, which is very convenient. Beautiful view from our bedroom, including a fair amount of birds visiting the lawns. Perfect get away for 2 couples sharing a unit.

South AfricaThere was no rechargable lights for use during loadshedding . Luckilly I remembered my own . Although loadshedding is not the owner's fault , just a suggestion to make the guest's stay as comfortable as possible during loadshedding.
Cute&Quirky was a excellent choice for a breakaway weekend. The house is well equipt and beautifully decorated. The peace and traquillity is priceless. I definetly recommend Cute&Quirky for anyone who seeks a self catering unit with privacy.

South AfricaEverything exceeded our expectations so there is nothing we did not like.
The unit is exactly like the pictures. Even better actually! Check in was a breeze. You collect keys from a lockbox. The owner communicated all the details so efficiently. The pictures seem like the unit is in a isolated spot with no houses around however when we got there it was in a access control estate with good security and houses around the property. The yard is quiet big so it seems that way. There is two bedrooms with two en suites.
