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.).

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The staff were exceptional and Nadia could not be more helpful, she even printed off our travel documents. The room was first class as were the grounds and general areas. Very relaxing atmosphere and couldn't be closer to the dead centre of this wonderful town.

United StatesNo negative points to note, at all.
We had such a beautiful stay for a birthday, the whole stay was seamless and very flexible. The room was very clean and quiet, with beautiful gardens walking distance to town. The hospitality given was fantastic and the ladies very flexible in the morning at breakfast time and check-out. We had time to enjoy the pool and have a relaxed morning before departure (including locals knowledge for recommendations of the area on our drive back) We will most definitely have Macaron Guest House as our go to on our next visit, we were more than happy with the experience and highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxed stay in Franschhoek.

South AfricaThere was no milk for the coffee that was in the room and my parents found a half eaten ice cream in their fridge. The showers spilled water all over the floor and you couldn’t put a bath mat as they open outwards. We ordered a breakfast with no bacon as my husband doesn’t eat pork and the bacon was on the plate anyway.
The setting was beautiful and room spacious and comfy. The pool area was lovely and cool and an amazing quiet place to sit and relax. The staff were friendly and accommodating and helpful when we needed things. The food was good and a nice big portion along with the buffer items.

South AfricaAfter making a last minute booking, I never expected the check-in to be so easy and for the room to be so well prepared, down to the smallest details. Being a hot day, we immediately went and jumped in the pool before taking an quick walk into town for dinner. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower large with good water pressure. The breakfast was amazing with a cold and hot option which was freshly prepared! The staff were friendly and kind, allowing us to eat out breakfast outside to admire the mountain views from the courtyard. I definitely be back and recommend Macaron over again!
