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 KoreaThe place/ environment is very calm and peaceful. Jutie was remarkably welcoming. The dinner and the breakfast was scrumptious. We felt at home away from home. We are definitely going back, there. I would like to recommend this place to anyone who likes nature and calmess to visit it. We had a great time. My mom and all of us can't wait to go back again. Jutie, you are the best. Take a bow, ma'am for the wonderful times you create for your guests.

South AfricaI can honestly say the only negative thing is that it's a little far out on a dirt road, but even so, the drive is worth it. One thing to note, though, is that the dirt road is quite rocky.(when dry) And if heavy rains have created mud, you need a higher vehicle to pass through. Lower cars may get stuck.
The house is decorated in a very cute old farm style. The porch provided a lovely view and vibe. The Bed was comfortable and shower was lovely. All room necessities were provided. We didn't bring groceries so the hosts kindly cooked us a meal on short notice. A delicious one at that! Next time we will be sure to have our groceries with as there are no shops nearby! A walk around the area is worth it for the lovely scenery

South AfricaI just wish we could have stayed longer!
Jutie and Willie were so welcoming. The guest house and gardens were absolutely beautiful, and the breakfast deeelicious! The pool overlooking the sheep was a very welcome relief after a day in the hot Karoo. We had a lovely braai and bonfire evening and the hosts even gave us a complimentary glass of wine. We absolutely loved everything and will be back.

NetherlandsWe had bad luck that the swimming pool wasn't in use. That would have made our stay perfect (because of our kids). And it's a bit old, so the bed makes a lot of noise and locking the doors is a bit of a struggle.
A perfect getaway, a truly hidden gem far away from other people. Jutie was a very friendly host who really took care for us. On the first day she cooked a great healthy meal for us. The place is calm and beautiful. The room was spacious and well equipped.

South AfricaThe people at Doornfontein are friendly, welcoming, and homey people! The accommodation was beautiful, the rooms were stunning and cozy. I organised a early arrival and late departure due to traveling times and it was no problem, they were happy to have us there. We were on honeymoon and they certainly made it feel special for us. Thank you so much for the incredible stay to everyone at Doornfontein Guest Farm.
