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 AfricaSpent Christmas with the family. A true home away from home. Beautiful garden,spacious rooms and very much child friendly. A very quiet neighbourhood, felt very safe. Shops within close proximity. Even sites like Howick falls and Mandela capture site are not too far. And the hosts? Definitely with the most. Loved every minute. Highly recommend.

South AfricaThat we had to leave!
A beautiful, peaceful location and a cottage that has clearly been thoughtfully and lovingly considered in every single aspect. The host was equally remarkable. We loved every moment and was exactly what my Mother and I needed. Thank you so much for everything. We will be back.

South AfricaWe absolutely loved staying here. We were in awe of the beautiful garden, which felt so relaxing and peaceful to walk in or to even just sit on the verandah and look at it. The cottage had everything we needed and loved how thoughtful Marita was. We had arrived much later than initially planned, which worried us, but Marita was so accommodating and went beyond our expectations of feeling welcomed. She had started a fire for us, there were freshly cut flowers with my name written on a board, and even a slab of chocolate next to it - what a nice surprise all of that was. She spent time walking around with us, answering all our questions about her plants, (even sharing some with us to take home) but the best part was watching her play with my son and hearing him laugh so much. Marita, we really appreciate everything you did, and we would like to thank you for all your care during a very difficult time for our family. If we ever need to be in Hilton again, we will be staying here.

South AfricaLovely place to stay. We basically used it as a basis to sleep at, and doing other activities most of the day and both evenings we were there, but it would have very easily made a nice 'getaway' weekend accommodation to chill out and enjoy some time with family/friends. Nice quiet set-up, spacious, lovely garden. It even has a fireplace, which would make that setup gold in winter time. If we ever go to Pietermaritzburg/Hilton again, we'd definitely stay there again.

South AfricaElvandar Country Cottage is a lovely, homely cottage set in the most beautiful garden with an amazing view - It's the perfect place to unwind! Marita was so welcoming and very accommodating of our needs. The supply of the things most often forgotten and her personal touches were really appreciated.

South AfricaI didn't like that my stay was so short and I couldn't enjoy the accommodation more than I expected to. No fault on the host but my time was quite rushed hence less time spent at accommodation.
The host was amazing, friendly and so accommodating. Although, we experienced electricity problems, the host went to extremes to make us feel comfortable. I absolutely loved my stay and hope to be back there sometime soon in the future to enjoy the place a bit more.
