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 AfricaI think the indoor seating could be improved, especially if we were to visit in winter. Perhaps add an airfryer for restaurant left overs. Everything else was excellent.
A wonderful two-course breakfast was served which was such a joy. My dogs were welcomed with open arms, despite my old girl being a bit barky. The grounds are beautiful and lush - a perfect place to enjoy a peaceful morning. The fountains are stunning and the pool was so refreshing! Everything is so clean and well looked after. I truly enjoyed my week there.

South AfricaMy Mom, Sister and myself went to McGregor so Mom could visit her childhood town and home. We loved our stay at Fountain Place. Peaceful, comfortable and beautiful! Magnificent garden and birdlife. Val the owner is a lovely lady and she was very accommodating and kind. She presented wonderful breakfasts and went out of her way to please. Best part for me was that I could take my two fur kids with and they had such fun in the garden even though the both managed to "plunge" into the Fountain by accident 😂😂 The weather was fantastic too. All in all a wonderful stay and highly recommended👌👌

Netherlandsit’s a shame, the only thing that let the stay down was the rainforest shower head set up. I found it difficult to regulate, it was in my opinion a little out of control. Secondly, women don’t always want to get their hair wet, with a rainforest shower head this is impossible. a hand held shower head would solve this problem. A small thing, but important. no other observations spring to mind, an excellent place to stay.
The whole experience was wonderful, one couldn’t ask for more. Great location, quiet, beautiful gardens, excellent host. Highly recommended for those wanting to chill out for a day or three.

South AfricaThe only thing that I didn't like was the shower, which has a rain shower head, and it is a personal preference issue.
The garden was glorious and so peaceful. We loved sitting outside, enjoying the birds and nature there. We were also able to bring along our dogs, which made the holiday extra special. Val went above and beyond to make our stay exceptionally pleasant. She made a glorious breakfast every day for us. Val recommended some great restaurants and local activities. We were close enough to Robertson and Bonnievale that we could go wine tasting and explore the valley with ease. I also loved the pool at Fountain Place, which was small but ideal to cool off in the afternoons.
