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.).

SwitzerlandWhile the host / manager was friendly, his constant "joking" was a bit annoying to the point when it was hard to distinguish what he meant as a fact and what was a "joke". His appearance (a dirty T-shirt) did not make the best first impression. For a luxury guest house, we would expect more breakfast choices. The buffet food was very nice, so was the omelette, but a simple menu with hot meals would be nice. We are speaking from experience with several similar guest houses.
Beautiful quiet location next to a river surrounded by mountains. Comfortable room and cozy communal indoor and outdoor areas. The owner was very friendly and proactive. I had to leave early before breakfast time and the staff prepared a breakfast bag for me the day before.

GermanyStay 1.3.24 - 3.3.24 The Abundance Guesthouse is a beautiful facility, both the rooms and the grounds. What is special are the works of art by Anton Smit, which are skillfully placed outside and in the house. Martly is a nice host who cares about the well-being of her guests. Not to forget Joseph, a friendly guy, very helpful and always available for a joke. Abundance can be recommended with a clear conscience. We will book with Martly again on a future stop in Montagu.

United KingdomI honestly found the property faultless.
The property was immaculate and our suite had everything we could need and several luxuries we didn’t even think we needed! The owner and her manager could not have done more to make our stay memorable. They arranged restaurant reservations and gave us suggestions on activities we could do during our stay.

SwedenMontagu truly is a hidden gem on Route 62. We only stayed one night to short-cut the long drive but the place exceeded our expectations. Joseph gave as an excellent check-in accompanied with a great sense of humour and booked us a dinner; just in case as most of restaurants are closed on a Sunday. Probably the best breakfast we had in South Africa and we travelled this country extensively. The owner cares about her guests; and this was also a very positive experience.

United KingdomWe had a great welcome from Josef, our room was clean and quiet and the pool area was lovely to relax around - the view of the mountains is stunning! Breakfast was perfect for us, freshly baked bread, local jam/honey, cheese, fruit, yoghurt and granola and an open omelette made to order. NB dinner reservations made in advance on your behalf.

GermanyThe only thing is we thought the room had a terrace, it just had a window to the street. But actually there is enough space to hang around the pool and have a good time.
Very beautiful house, and the public space around the pool is super nice. There's a nice view of the mountains and the breakfast was delicious. The staff was very welcoming and caring we got some nice tips for eating and sightseeing.
