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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

South AfricaPlease be advised I booked at the guest house but was vey disappointed. I mistakenly booked for 1 person, however it was 2. I did send the guest house a mail advising of my mistake. Upon arriving at the place, it was under renovations, so we could not enjoy the outside or the pool area. Further to this, we were not allowed to have breakfast until we paid R250. I would appreciate this is sorted and I want a percentage of my payment. Very disappointed. Jan

South AfricaOur tub was not cleaned properly, the shower also. We understood on the first day as we rushed them to prepare our room , but it was not so clean on day 2 as well. Our toilet also leaked. We reported it and were told it will be fixed after we left. Having said the above, I’d still come back to this place. It’s value for money except the minor things that can be fixed
They accommodated us even though we were very early. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A beautiful homely place.

GermanyThe house isn't really as pretty as in the pictures, the house is either still being built or with serious structural problems. The worst part is that the pool was the reason why I picked the place but it was disgusting! Very filthy and not as big as in the pictures

South AfricaBed was dirty, could smell the previous occupant and found hair in die bed. Bathroom was dirty and towels werent washed. Booking.com said that breakfast was included but the security gaurd or construction worker/ gardener that was manning the reception when we arrived said that was not true and that we had to pay an extra R 180.00 for breakfast per person. Wouldn't recommend. Fotos on booking.com are old and misleading.

South AfricaThe place was under construction and I was not made aware of this before I booked. Had I known I would not have booked. The pool was fully with a thick layer of silt at the bottom of it. The owner was not on the property. I small garden who barely spoke English was put in charge. The two other men who lurked about on the property always relaxing about, watching TV in the guest house and having dinner, I was told we're contractors, but they never had a spec of dust on them, and I never saw them work once! The white couches in the photo are stained black with dirt. The couches upstairs had holes in them. The small mats infornt of the beds in the rooms were filly. The garden woke me up one evening talking loudly in the room opposite me and when I asked him to please keep it down, he stepped into the room and closed the door where I saw he had a female companion. So he was entering his friend's while the owner was away. The bedding was dirty and I has to move rooms. The are rats in the roof!!! The water was turned off so I had to ask them to turn it on so I could bath. One day I came back from work and found my luggage missing. I ran around the property trying to find out where it is and a very stinky and drunk garder explain that he moved me to another room. He was slurring. On my last day there I saw the the garden enter the common lounge having relieved himself still busy doing up us trousers. It was very unsettling. And then proceed to openly have a cigarette in front of the entire property without a care in the world. It was the same day the maid come into the house screaming greetings to everyone and talking on the top of her voice. Anyone who wanted to sleep in, would have most definitely failed at that point! As a single lady I felt very unsafe. Service did not exist there. Do not go here!
I was told my booking did not include breakfast.

They were doing renovations and tools were left on our balcony in our rooms. Very disappointed as this was a gift for my brother in law and Sisters 40th birthday.

South AfricaI can understand that the COVID-19 has had a negative impact to Businesses and the Hospitality Industry. I ask that the property update their equipment in the Kitchen. Like Microwave, Gas Stove, etc.
The place is in a quiet a quiet cul-de sac and exceptionally placed. It is homely since it is different from a regular Hotel. We loved the ambience that is conducive to Family set ups. I was there with my 3 brothers and our spouses, including our daughter. it was magic.
