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 AfricaOur room was on the end of the complex near the main road. The geyser was off so it took time for us to get hot water.
There was some difficulty at the checkin with payments my booking request was only read after we check out. The management on site assist us with the special requests, to be able to get food once they saw we were on bicycles. It was clear that the booking request was not read before we got there.

South AfricaThe 2 units my friend and I were given were sadly far below the standard advertised and and not prepped. One unit had sugar and tea but no coffee. In the morning, with minus temperatures it was a terrible discovery when I opened the tap and there was no hot water! I let it run for 5 minutes and still nothing. The unit had two single beds despite booking a doublebed unit. The second unit had no soap in the bathroom. There were no spare blankets so during a freezing cold night my friend had to sleep in her jacket to try and stay warm. In both units the toilet paper was at its end and ran out, with no spare rolls. No dishwashing liquid in the units. To my knowledge Gaggle Inn was in the process of changing staff, however this should be no reason for the issues with our units. My feeling was the units were not prepped for guests. Gaggle Inn has huge potential and is very nicely located, however there seems to be a general lack of attention to the premises and units from our experience. Sadly, based on our experience we will not be returning to Gaggle Inn
Nice location, farm/countryside feeling and hearing lions at night. Good breakfast.

South AfricaI think a 2 plate stove and some basic pots and frying pan, a salad bowl would be a good idea Maggie was wonderful but perhaps they need to rethink the cooking facilities as it was a bit sparse for self catering Perhaps electric blankets, which do not draw much power would solve the heating problem
I was so surprised by the beautiful comfortable furniture and king-size bed The room was so beautifully decorated, cozy and inviting Maggie was so obliging and helpful. The room only had a microwave and she went to lengths to find us a 2 plate stove with pot so we could cook our pasta The other amazing surprise was breakfast was served in our room. And what a breakfast. We couldn't eat it all!! I loved the geese and hens who visited us Parking was outside the unit and so easy to bring in all your stuff Each unit is separate and private with distance from other units, very private and quiet
