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 AfricaThere isn't a lot of privacy between the children's room and the main bedroom (no doors that can close) which was fine in my case but may be a factor for others to consider.
The hosts were extremely friendly and the gardens were simply beautiful (added bonus was my 5-year-old getting to pick fresh veg from their vegetable garden!). The unit is lovely and spacious. We had everything we needed in the unit. It was secure and well located in Howick. The instructions for arrival and departure over WhatsApp were lovely, clear and creative.

South AfricaNothing - I liked everything!
Everything! The accommodation I had originally booked was an 'economy' room, however, the proprietor very kindly upgraded me, at NO extra cost, to a really comfortable, nicely appointed, larger room which just happened to be available for the duration of my stay. There was meticulous attention to detail, and everything was spotlessly clean and tidy. I forgot to have a look at the 'economy' room before I left so cannot, in all honesty, give it full marks for 'Value for Money' as I didn't personally see it. Close to town in a quiet suburban street and efficiently run by a thoughtful, caring proprietor whose first concern is the guest.

South AfricaI was moved to a different room without consultation, and the taps needed a service. The owner agreed to address these problems and seems very eager to do the right thing if one explains what one requires.
The Queen room has a wonderful balcony. Not bad considering Howick is not known for its five-star hotels.

South AfricaThe curtains could have been darker to keep light from shining through early morning. It's a bit of an inconvenience that the property only has a toilet upstairs, and you have to remove shoes before rushing upstairs. (Removal of shoes is the request of the owner)
The flat is nice and clean,comfortable beds and the kitchen has everything that you need. The location is perfect, close to the shopping center. Situated in a good area of Howick.
