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 AfricaThe fact that there was no extra aircon or heater on the other side of the family room as the family room is divided into two sections. Which is good but it would be great to have a heater that side especially during winter. ❄️🥶
The type of rooms, they are nice clean and spacious.🤣😂🤣 The beds are very comfortable. The white linen 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿. Green garden... Fresh air just made my day🌻🌼💖. I like the fact that the staff were very friendly and went an extra mile in packing our breakfast as we always had to leave early to conference before breakfast was served. 💯 Can't wait to be back with my friends during holidays 🤣😂🤣

South AfricaThe first apartment we stayed in toilet did not flush and it was quite big. We got moved to a smaller one where there was no hot water and less kitchenware like it didn’t have a toaster. The WhatsApp responded timeously and issues were solved just not in a manner I’d expect. The facilities not working made the stay unpleasant as a flushing toilet and hot water is the bare minimum.
It is quite clean and the bathrooms are quite modern. The DSTV is a small package so it isn’t a lot and the WiFi is intermittent. The beds are clean and comfortable. Lovely lapa to braai overlooking beautiful pool and garden.

South AfricaThe lady on site took me to my room and gave me the key to it. Just when I was fetching my luggage, I was told to hand over the key as another couple was apparently booked there. I was taken to a smaller one with no aircon, poor wifi signal, electricity that trips all day, with bugs in the night especially. The room was very humid and the humidity messed up my phone charging port. I haven’t had any feedback from the owner which is very disappointing cause I’ve booked there for about 3years now.
The location is very convenient. The breakfast was the same everyday and on the last day the sausage had gone bad.

South AfricaI did not like anything except the area. The roof was leaky and damp. Disgusting. Had to use a bucket to flush my toilet. Never in my life... The television is a decoration. No channels work. Worst stay at an establishment I have ever encountered in all of my travels and I'm not one to give a bad review.
Only one of the staff members, she was accommodating. Management were never present and the maintenance of the property was appalling. I was shocked. Paying 1k a night you would expect at least a working toilet. Not recommended.

South AfricaMy unit was very good however the unit that my brother and his wife stayed in was a bit disappointing. The toilet seat was broken, their kettle did not work and the TV only had one channel. They will be returning to Sibsons House for my daughter’s wedding on 30 September and I have also booked our wedding planner in to Sibsons House. I certainly do hope that all these faults will be rectified by then. Many thanks
The well-appointed units with the kitchenette and breakfast brought to the unit.

South AfricaThey need to clean properly,the whole room was covered in dust.Bugs were falling from the roof as well. Beds are very uncomfortable. I got hay fever from sitting on their couches meaning there is just to much dirt and dust. Some of the linen had stains. The Owner(Lady) needs to learn how to speak to people properly.She is incapable of speaking in a well mannered way,rather she delegates because she lacks good communication skills and just how to treat paying customers well!
