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.).

We needed accomodation urgently as our original place had shut down. This one was recommended by a security man patrolling the area. So it was available.

South AfricaI would recommend the owner invests in a small UPS to keep the wifi working during blackouts. Some maintenance and replacement of towels and linen is overdue.
The staff were exceptional, friendly, always available and helpful. However the place is run down. Although we had a microwave and fridge there was no crockery or cutlery, so self catering was not possible. The towels were threadbare and water is only available for showering at certain times of the day. There is a lot of traffic noise and the wifi is usable, but slow and only works when the power is on.

South AfricaPlace has not been maintained. Very dirty shower curtain; no toilet seat on the toilet; Aircon is not working properly; had to switch batteries between remotes; outside chairs are all broken - can't sit on them. Advertised price listed on Booking.com increased by 10% when I had to pay, due to the fact that I booked via Booking.com. I won't stay here again.😱
The lady was very friendly

South AfricaWe booked a month and a half in advance. We have received a confirmation email stating what time we need to check in etc. On the day of arrival we where told that the place was fully booked. We were dumbfounded on why this happened since we booked in advance. The accommodation would have served as a place to stay since we were going to attend a graduation ceremony and wanted to be nearby the campus. We felt the staff did not handle this nicely as we were addressed by one from a window. Arrangements were going to be made to an alternative place that is further away from where we wanted to stay initially. We just felt that communication should have been given regarding this earlier on, then we would not have been in this predicament.

South AfricaI didn't stay at the accommodation. After I had booked, I called to notify them of my late arrival. The manager said, "No problem, I'll forward you the number of the person at the property." which he never did, and few calls after that call, he never picked up. So I showed up at the property, tired of course after my long road trip. Only to get to the property and be told that the property had been fully booked for 3 days before that day, despite booking 5 days in advance for my stay. The lady at the property was kind enough to call another BnB and send us to the property, which the location was not of my desire. It would've been nice to know that the property was already booked full so that I could cancel my booking beforehand.
I didn't stay at the property.
