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.).

LesothoThe location is very safe. The trees and plants make it a refreshing place to stay at. There's maintenance work done in the yard so it's always clean. My room was super clean, the bedding was freshly washed, the bathroom was well maintained and clean as well. I had 3 lamps that didn't require electricity for when load shedding happens which was a lively touch.

South AfricaWhen you travel a lot for work, it's the small touches that makes one guesthouse/hotel stand out from the other. Deidre and Keith as such warm, attentive hosts. Fresh milk instead of long-life milk, lovely rusks and leaving a light out by my front door for when I got back after load shedding - these are the things that will make me return. My room was super comfortable and beautifully decorated. There's a beautiful little patch of garden outside the cottage where I could sit in peace and quiet.

It was so quiet and private, we felt safe and secure. The hosts went out of their way to help us far and beyond what we were expecting. There was always a greeting from their lovely dog Ziggy. We stayed on 3 separate occassions and made this our base. Deidre and Keith took care of our luggage, that we didn't need for short trips, while we were away

Very charming cottage-like guesthouse surrounded by a well kept garden. Decorated with taste albeit simply. My room, set in a former stable, was quiet and very comfortable. The internet worked well. It all felt very cosy and private. Grateful for the tea, kettle, cups and courtesy snacks. I loved this place and would certainly go back!

United StatesNo A/C. The table in the garden area right outside looked incredibly inviting to do some work, but the mosquitos ate me alive in five minutes.
Deirdre is a lovely hostess who exudes kindness and compassion. She let me check in early, made sure to make me feel right at home and even provided schedule for load shedding (power outages) via text every day. The property is a gem in a quiet, secluded and safe area, yet close to the Sandton Mall and the Gautrain Station. The beds are firm. The water pressure in the shower is great. The room is clean. I felt like a queen staying here!
