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 seems to be a problem with power. When electricity from grid is restored after load shedding it trips one of the earth leakages. One needs to go reset the circuit breaker
The configuration of the rooms and living area was great. The inclusion of a power alternative during load shedding made it more comfortable than be forced to end the day

South AfricaThere were no pool lounging chairs, that would have been a bonus and there wa no umbrella (it was broken). 2 of our bedrooms did not have hot water for the weekend and also a missing aircon remote.
The property is well equipped for entertaining. The kitchen has a variety of plates, platters, an ice machine. The bedrooms are separated which is great for privacy & all bedrooms have aircons:) There is a big TV and also a lot of sitting areas with furniture that is clean and relatively new. Swimming towels provided, which is great & there is cleaning staff. The pool was clean and amazing views!

South AfricaWe had some problems with the power mainly due to Eskom having issues with a transformer, but then the backup power system that is in the house also didn’t work properly so we had extended periods without any power. We also had some issues with warm water in the two bedrooms closest to the fireplace. There was no warm water on that side of the house and also not in die scullery, although the small veggie sink in die kitchen had warm water.
The house is very well equipped and had everything we needed. The rooms are very spacious and nicely furnished. The house was neat and clean on arrival.

South AfricaThe place had a lot of dust and the bath tub was dirty. The place is beautiful but the cleaning crew does not clean that house properly. Adding a washing machine would be great.
House is equipped with everything you will need for the trip even had a ice maker. The views from the house are to die for. House looks exactly the same as the pictures.

South AfricaFinding the property was a bit problematic even after we were given the map. Also note that there is some few kilometres to travel on gravel
The property was clean, the staff from security to the restaurant were exceptionally friendly. We enjoyed our time, it is peaceful and there’s also a lot of privacy.

South AfricaA couple of days prior to arrival - I requested that double beds be arranged for all the rooms. I was given the assurance that all rooms have queen or king-size beds. You can imagine my disappointment to learn that this was not the case. When I requested this to be changed I was told it was not possible. Vacation for me is about comfort and unfortunately - this did not tick that box.
The location was good - however we needed to travel 17 kilometers on gravel to reach the accommodation. Would recommend that the owners in the area prioritize fixing the road or facilitate this with the local municipal government. The villa is spacious and the pool was clean.
