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.).

The location was easily accessible and very reviving. The garden is very beautiful and great for a walk.

South AfricaWalls were so thin that one heard every movement your neighbours made. If one had noisy neighbours, it could be a problem. Another problem is lack of access...no keypads for opening the gates, so one has to phone a staff member to let you in or out!
We did not have breakfast.

South AfricaThe aircon and fan were not working. There is no seeating at the pool. Nobody is at reception: you need to phone them for service. Staff want to be helpful but aren't always able to. For example, on reception we were received by a gentleman who told us he couldn't help us and we should wait for another employee (he seemed to be the gardener). We didn't see anybody who introduced themselves as a manager in 3 days. The furniture in the room was old, worn through/cracked. The room was windowless except for the bathroom window: so owing to the heat we needed to keep the front door open which meant we had no privacy. The so called "garden views" are an overstatement. From the shared patio you look directly onto the carpark and two other bungalows and a vegetable patch: there was a garden path, a garden feature and few thin grassy patches between: a very in adequate garden. The TV is not a smart TV so doesnt support youtube, phone pairing etc. While there are tons of cable channels (a big dstv bouquet), the vast majority are devoted to sport. It felt like there were only the mnet movie channels: we had trouble finding enjoyable shows to watch. It was a place to lay one's head at night but definitely not a place you would want to stay during the day.
It is located in a nice area and there was good parking and a pool. Staff are friendly. The beds are comfortable. The TV subscription is very, very comprehensive on sporting channels.
