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 AfricaRoom too small for the furniture utilized in the room, definitely not pet friendly and room could of been cleaner (not too bad but not also clean)
The host was very helpful and friendly, however the room was a bit dirty, for the size of the room the bed was too big, not a lot of room to move about. It says pet friendly, but there is no garden and the staircase inside is spiral and a bit rickety, the back stairs are not very safe and difficult to use. There was no kettle or mugs and spoons, etc in the room to be able to make coffee, which the other guesthouses that we have stayed has. There is definitely room to improve.

South AfricaVery musty rooms inside owners home sharing facilities with owner and other guests. Even had to purchase inhaler for bad chests from musty closed up rooms. Lights shining into room all night. Ensuite room extremely small . No privacy from shower/toilet section. Also no shampoo,body wash etc. A bar of soap was available. Pics not same as online.
Not too much . Booking was chaotic. First someone canceled It. Then we almost got double charged. Very stressful stay.

South AfricaThe accommodation was not as expected from the photos. No area to sit unless you sit on your bed.
Very convenient location, for what we wanted. The parking was comfortable. Perfect for participants of the Cape Town Cycle Tour. Owner is friendly. Neighbourhood is interesting. Very close to interesting restaurants in Greenpoint.

South AfricaThere was no one to book me in to identify which room i was allocated to, and the host never responded to my calls to explain why I didn't stay. There were clothes and linen lying all around the house, and it was generally dirty. Someone had been sleeping on a couch in the living room where a makeshift bed was made. The booking was described as a guesthouse and not as a backpackers which is false advertising. This was the worst accommodation I have paid for and eventually stayed at.
There was nothing I liked.

South Africa1. Not what we booked, we were then asked for additional fees to upgrade to a suitable room. 2. We were monitored by the owner on entry and exit. 3. We could not exit on the last day as the owner put the power off so the security gate was not operational which posed a health and safety risk. 4. We had to shower with cold water on numerous occasions. 5. We were not allowed to use the air conditioner in the extreme heat and the remote was hidden under the microwave outside the room. 6. No cleaning staff was seen on site. 7. On our last day the owner stood in our room to see what we departed with. 8. A-dead rat was in the koi pond during our stay unhealthy conditions. 9. Carpets need to be cleaned in a filthy condition. 9. I will NEVER reference a stay at the above guest house.

South Africa!!DO NOT BOOK HERE!! NOT 786 FRIENDLY. I was rudely awakened before 8 am on a Sunday morning to be questioned by the landlord about my Muslim name and how he didnt believe that I was the one who made the payment. He also rudely grabbed my Credit card from my hand and proceeded to take mobile phone pictures even after i asked him not to as it is not secure and could lead to fraud. The listing and booking confirmation only says to show ur card and ID. This is all after I had already paid upfront before I even got there the day before and after he had already checked me in. I asked him if he needed anything else from me when I got there the day before and he said no after thoroughly reviewing my booking.com confirmation and also telling me that my confirmation does not say breakfast included (When actually it was). Then before 8am the next day I get continuous knocking on the room door to be accused of being a criminal... even though booking.com handles the payment and it was already cleared. The cupboards smelled, the hairdryer had sum sticky residue with hairs on... it literally all of over it. An before you even think to contest any of this Gordon I have videos, whatsapp screenshots, and booking confirmation screenshots. I took a look at another review on this reviews page and I see another arab muslim guy had issues with their stay there. If you dont like muslims then add it to your listing so we know not to support you. Thank you booking.com for finally resolving my end of the issue. I would not recommend this Guesthouse to any of my guests who visit this country.
He also let me wait outside when I wanted to leave cause he was ignoring his phone and email while booking.com was trying to contact him. Meanwhile I heard he was discussion the issue with another guy in his house next door.
