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 AfricaKitchen cupboards have sagging doors. Single shower for 6 or more people doesn't make sense. It looks like the owner doesn't care about that property at all.

South AfricaOne of my workers was using the accommodation. Access was difficult, nobody home sometimes. There was no Hot water. The room doors was not able to lock. It looked like there was some Dealings going on at the premises. Many people come and go. Load noise late nights. Smoking of substances noted. I cant elaborate, maybe the owner can follow up.
Price was acceptable. The room was not too bad for the price

South AfricaThe place got leaks in the shower and the toilet had a blockage yet not written out of order. The pictures are deceiving and the guy who was there seems to be clueless of the facility. I can't lie wouldn't dare go back.
The place is situated in a good space and it's easy to get transport if you don't have one and don't wanna request

ONE GUY WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE CARETAKER SMOKES INSIDE THE HOUSE?!!! I think its a total disrespect of the guests. Speaks on the phone for the better of the night, and disturbs the sleeping and resting 4. the shower area was dirty most of the time, it was difficult having to put up and shower there.

South AfricaThe house itself is old and not maintained. The couches in the lounge are old and torn. The bedding was not changed at all. Both the room and the bathroom are so dirty that one would need gloves to touch anything. The whole house is stinking of mould. There's literally nothing good to say about this place. It shouldn't even be listed on Bookings.com
