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 AfricaThe property has enormous potential but could do with some TLC. The lawns could do with a cut, the gardens need to be cared for and the buildings need a fresh coat of paint. The kitchen in the villa could also be better stocked with mugs, a scissors, etc.
The accommodation was lovely and spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They agreed to serve our breakfast earlier than the usual slot to accommodate our schedule. They also gladly assisted with photocopies.

NetherlandsThe whole property needs some more love. We can see a low investment on the whole property. As you drive up towards the house no one greets you and you need to search for someone. No reception is clearly seen, also as recieving the keys it would have been great to hear about the history of it. And that you are creating your wine. This all wasn't explained and it remains a mystery. Explaining what is what and where is always of help as we needed to find out where the pool was. (Unclean) Also explaining what code is required to open the gate is nice, instead of running over the estate to find someone. Please put some more attention towards receiving guests and the explanation and where possible invest in the stunning house to improve it for the longer term.
The location is stunning and so is the breakfast The room is nice and so is the bed. No airco just a fan.

South AfricaThe rooms were dirty, cobwebs all over, not well cleaned. The pool was utterly disgusting, coated in green algae and dirty, it was unusable. The tables and chairs at the pool are covered in cobwebs and not clean. This was incredibly disappointing as we’d looked forward to a day at the pool! The grounds are unkept, everything is overgrown, paint peeling from the walls and floors and many of the chairs are past their expiration date. The management is poor and when approached about any issues they are rather unhelpful and a bit cheeky. We booked a superior room but received a small very standard room with no full length mirror or vanity which is what you need when preparing for a wedding. On the second night they moved us to the correct room which was much better, but all in all it was a bit disappointing.
Quiet and peaceful. The cleaning staff and night guard were friendly and helpful. Beautiful views, comfortable bed.
