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 AfricaWe were a bit concerned about the location at first since we had to drive through an informal neighborhood to get to the lodge. But, Jeremiah assured us it is safe and won't be a problem to drive through at night when we head out for dinner.
Friendly, helpful staff, stunning view, spacious room, bathroom with a tub, tea tray in bedroom, indoor parking, fantastic breakfast. Jeremiah made our stay extra special, he was on standby 24/7 and very enthusiastic. He was kind enough to bring me rooibos tea after my husband and I returned from our dinner.

Very friendly staff. Having the garage available was very good. Amazing view to the bay.

BelgiumAccording to us, the curtains are not darkening the room enough. We found it a pity that only 1 table outside was available at the breakfast. It would be nice if there would be more tables outside for breakfast, for sure when the weather is nice.
Everybody working at this accomodation was very kind and helpfull. We were able to park the car on the site of the accomodation. We arrived late at this accomodation and it was not a problem at all to check-in after midnight. The views from the room where we stayed were wonderfull, the room is spacious.

South AfricaThe top balcony has such lovely views, so it would be nice to have some comfy chairs and shade up there. The location is on the hill just outside of Hout Bay and can be a bit noisy at night, although it wasn't too bad.
We were so warmly welcomed and treated by Dee, Jeremiah and the rest of the staff - they are a special bunch of people! The room was very spacious and the bed is comfortable. The views are unsurpassed! We did have some trouble with electricity and water supply (being South Africa), but the house has solar and the staff made sure we had water. Breakfast was delicious!
