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 AfricaOn arrival I was informed I couldn't get the place I booked. Then the next morning I was informed after placing my order for breakfast they don't have one of the ingredients. The maintenance of the room I got was not up to standard. To be woken up at 3am on a Sunday of a woman screaming because her stuff was stolen from the unit below and the motion that took place after that. So I woke up tired to get up and check out.

South AfricaOn arrival they never gave us the gate code so we sat and rang the office bell a few times but nobody answered. Once we got in they gave us the wrong code when we were heading out and said the information booklet in the rooms were not updated. The Luxury tent had scratches on the roof and when it was storming you could feel the rain fall on you. The food was not the best but was edible. VAT was included on everything single thing we had and we were not aware of that being the case. The bar prices were not the same as what your invoice is at the end of your stay which was a shock to us.
We loved how peaceful the atmosphere was. The self serve bar was something unique.

United KingdomThe fact that no one informed us that there was a generator behind our room which meant that we had it went on late into the night and early morning and therefore 2 nights of broken sleep. If we had been informed or given a choice of rooms that would have been appreciated.

South AfricaThere was no wifi for three days despite the big advertising how important it is for a luxury accommodation to offer good quality internet. One evening, the gate was locked and my guest had to wait 105 minutes outside the gate until he could get inside at 10pm. Not even the security company had access. Instead of an apology, the manager notified that the generator will not be turned on to save on diesel, so guests have to use a torch to get dressed. Then the gate was locked so my guest could not leave the premises and again had to wait forever until finally someone was found to unlock. Absolutely unacceptable in case of an emergency. No apologies were rendered by the manager, just excuses being made. Owner then offers full refund (which I refused to accept but asked for refund for cost incurred for no wifi) which is later cancelled without apology but abuse by manager. Very disappointing and totally unacceptable.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

South Africa1. The intercom kept saying "the number dialed dialed doesn't exist." 2. The contact number either went straight to voicemail or was not answered, there is no alternative contact. We were at the gate for an HOUR until another guest came and gave us the pin. The pin given to us on email did not work. The place was great but ya'll need an alternative contact or the intercom must go to reception not someone who is not in the property. Lastly when the wrong pin is punched in, there must be someway the intercom beep reaches the reception.
The luxury tent was perfect for a refreshing gate away. I loved the atmosphere, trees, fresh air and the sound of birds in the morning.
