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 Kingdom‘welcome’ was very rushed. Not very accommodating for a late light lunch. pool was out of order
We felt the initial welcome was a bit cold. The manager on the second day however more than made up for any shortcoming by offering use of a room for the day as we explored the city and could safely store luggage. This was hugely appreciated.

NetherlandsIt’s too bad that they do not have an option for dinner and that you will need food to have delivered instead for dinner
The garden is just wonderful and the rooms are spacious and clean.we haven’t spend any time at all in Johannesburg itself but taxi’s and restaurants (for delivery) were all very close. Breakfast was delicious. What we really did appreciate a lot is that when they heard we had a late night flight, they offered us a room near the pool we could stay in during the day.

South AfricaNothing. This place is definately a must and should really be considered as the place to stay.
The entire stay was wonderful. We arrived to beautiful scenery with exceptionally welcoming staff. The room was gorgeous and immaculate. It was warm and welcoming and the hotel is some of the most gorgeous accommodation we have stayed at yet. The food was wonderful. Could not recommend a better place in the hustle and bustle of the city.

New ZealandShower didn't drain easily - drain was blocked. Sprinklers came on just after 5 am and hit the bedroom window which makes some noise.
The property is centrally located in Sandton a few minutes' drive from Mandela Square. The grounds were impressive and very well maintained. Breakfast was great and freshly prepared to order. The room was very spacious and the bed comfortable.

GermanyLittle things. I didn't have a hanging closet in my room. Maybe it was removed because I had asked for a desk to be brought in (which was very nice of them). I didn't ask, so maybe my bad. Generally as a traveller in my early 30s I feel Sandton does not give of very homey vibes. It is a bit stale. Melville is more for me. But that is just me and nothing the owners can change. Overall, you can't go wrong with this guesthouse.
This is a georgeous and very safe place. The garden and pool is simply stunning. The breakfast is also great. Super comfortable rooms. Ac and generator are also a plus.

CanadaI requested a late check in since my flight arrived late at night and everything went pretty smoothly. Felt very secure within the property and the staff was lovely. They also kindly upgraded me to a suite which was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast options were great and also had a little nespresso machine. The garden was beautiful and was a peaceful place to hang around in. Overall had a lovely stay.

United StatesThe only criticism I have is that the shower was backed up and wouldnt drain.
This is a gorgeous, large estate from the 1930s. It has a lot of character and the outdoor garden is stunning. Our room had its own private garden/sitting area and the room itself was very spacious and very comfortable. The location is central and the surrounding area is safe. I wish we could have stayed here longer.
