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.).

United Arab EmiratesThe breakfast was delicious and plentiful - we enjoyed sitting on the terrace and the views of the sea. The pool was also great and we loved the beanbags. We also enjoyed the honesty bar. More than anything, the decor and the atmosphere was very convivial and totally unique, with books and furniture, such as a rolltop bath, which were evocative of a bygone era, but combined with all the modern comforts such as AC. We loved the touches such as complimentary drinks, books and magazines in our rooms.

AustraliaNothing. The safely issue in durban is a concern but at no stage did we feel unsafe in the lovely guesthouse.
From the moment we stepped inside I knew we had made the right choice. We didn't arrive till 7.30pm exhausted after a full day traveling. Thank you so much Goodman for making us so comfortable in our gorgeous room, then going up to the local pizza place and getting us a pizza for dinner which we enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the tropical paradise. The following night we booked a restaurant, intending to get a cab there. However, they couldn't get a cab to go the short distance, so the owner lent Goodman his car to take us safely to the restaurant and pick us up after dinner. This very kind gesture was greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend staying at this guest house as the breakfast was fabulous, the rooms and communal areas were really beautifully decorated, and the service was phenomenal. Thank you all for making our stay in durban one to remember.

South AfricaAll the plants attract insects so there are a lot of Insects. The driveway is very steep and there is very little parking so most of the time people are boxed in.
The people were very friendly and helpful. The place was peaceful and quiet. The look of the place is beautiful. It has an old style antique look. There's a nice pool. There are a lot of unique and wonderful features. The room is very big and spacious.

We liked the friendly atmosphere and the flexibility of the staff. We are vegetarian, we had a visitor at breakfast an we had been late once. That was no problem at all. Many thanks also for the driving instruction to the sightseeing points. Thanks also for overnight security.

NetherlandsThe only thing that didn't quite work was WiFi - however, we didn't really use it anyways...
A charming property located on the hillside, with the view from the balcony of the room over Durban CBD, while the terrace where the breakfast is served has a nice view over the ocean. The check-in was easy and efficient, the room was clean and welcoming. Adapter from SA to EU socket was provided, as was the hairdryer. There was a well-compiled catalogue of all the best places in town, we used that recommendation to visit a restaurant on Florida road - and we were not disappointed. Popped into an honesty bar for a glass of wine and a short chat with the owner and other guests, the owner does put a lot of effort into this property and he does find time to talk to each and every guest...which is far cry from the modern / chain hotels We slept well, the AC worked like a charm. The breakfast was delicious, with extended offer of diary products and fruit. We really liked it.
