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.).

NetherlandsThe restaurant isn't up to the 5-stars rating the rest of the setting entails. It could do with a more refined kitchen to our taste. We've only had dinner for one night and decided to go elsewhere. We missed knowledgeable staff to supply us with info about the surroundings and activities nearby.
Secluded historic farmhouse with comfortable rooms in the middle of the pastures. Relaxed atmosphere. Easy access to wineries nearby.

United KingdomNothing we didn't like.
Beautiful setting and very relaxed vibe. The food was incredible. I think the lamb Rogan Josh I had for dinner was the best thing I ate in my entire stay in South Africa. We loved sampling the pomegranate juice from the farm and found the room incredibly comfortable.

South AfricaOn the website a game drive is advertised which is no longer available. That is one of the reasons why we wanted to visit this specific venue. They did took us for a drive on the farm in the end, but it didn't compare at all what was offered on the website. The noise of the R60 is quite distracting, damaging the tranquility that one would expect at a place like this in the countryside.
The breakfast was very good, as well as the restaurant for all the other meals. Good selection on the menu and food is well prepared. The staff was very friendly and assisted to the best of their competence.

South AfricaWe had some problems in the restaurant, but when we addressed them to the manageress, she explained that she and her staff had only been in place since 01/11/23 - one week - and they were still feeling their way. To her credit, she took our criticism as constructive comment, and assured us that she would address them in due course. There was one light in our room that we were unable to find the switch for, so it remained on until the next morning - bar a 2 hour load shedding period. First time we’ve ever been thankful for an outage!
The room, and the friendliness of the new manageress.

South AfricaOne cannot rent out a pretty room like that when the door to the toilet is broken and impossible to close. In any event when one shares accommodation the toilet must be “privatised” This one was impossible to use with other person in room.
