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 KingdomSome areas and decor were a bit rustic. A golf buggy to travel between areas of the estate during the heat of the day or at night would be helpful.
Great service and real homely vibe. Location was perfect ideal for visiting a number of the main wine estates. Food and drink were good.

United Arab EmiratesThe rate was advertised as Continental breakfast only. We were pleasantly surprised to be offered hot breakfast. Had we known earlier, we would have booked for the other 4 nights stay. Minimal lighting in the coffee station in the room. Very difficult to find any fault with Grand Provence accommodation.
Very comfortable room with outdoor seating area. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were the only ones staying and had a chance to view the upstairs rooms. These appear small on the website however would also be very comfortable. Highly recommended as a very comfortable place to stay. The location is reasonably close to the main street however most may prefer to drive in and out. Will definitely return to Grande Provence.

The breakfast was sumptuous and generously prepared by Wellington who was always willing to go the extra mile, even warming milk for our morning coffee in the room. From the delicious fresh fruit to the best muesli that I have ever tasted to the hot breakfast and a variety of freshly baked scones etc- Could not ask for more

GermanyIf you are on a remote work trip be aware of the power cuts, as internet gets cut off. But the hotel said they are working on getting a stronger generator to get through the cuts.
Amazing staff. Wellington is a legend. Very cool location. Very quite and extremly private. If you wanna stay in Franschhoek I can highly recommend this small, quiet place.

Personalised cooked breakfast with continental buffet too. Picturesque location. 24hr security on front gate to the site. Complimentary wine and extras in the restaurant for being a hotel guest. Restaurant and wine tasting (one of the better ones in Franschhoek) located on site.
