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 AfricaThe dirt road to and from the lodge is monotonous as you need to drive slowly to avoid a puncture.
Beautiful venue. The dirt road to get there isn't the greatest but once you arrive you are treated like royalty. Lorna is the perfect hostess and goes out of her way to make you feel at home. The food is excellent and just keeps on coming.

South AfricaAbsolutely nothing!
Kilmorna Manor - run by Philip and Laura-ann Orvis - was an amazing experience! It totally surpassed our wildest expectations. Their hospitality - the very unique setting in the mountains - the individuality of the rooms - excellent facilities - wonderful menu and service as well as their personal attention to the finest detail were truly appreciated. The very unique pool with its vistas, the forest walk, the tranquility of the garden - all in all just an amazing experience. The library and the art collection - as well as all the different artefact collections - so overwhelming - wish we booked a longer stay!

South AfricaLOVED EVERYTHING!
Everything about our stay was exceptional - from arrival to departure, we were treated like "royalty". Philip and Laura-Ann are the most gracious hosts. Loved the relaxed atmosphere at the manor - could have cocooned and stayed in all day. The rooms were spotless - the beds super comfortable with luxurious linens. An added bonus in every room was the gas fireplace and the comfortable seating area. The formal lounge, library, 'pub' and informal seating areas were all very inviting. The gardens were tranquil and beautiful to explore. Although we didn't use the swimming pool, I can imagine it being a favourite in the summer months as the view is spectacular. The food was delicious and prepared with passion - Philip is an excellent chef! We did a walk around the property - enjoying views of the Schoemanskloof and saw zebra, wildebeest, waterbuck and "klipspringer" - the birdlife was also prolific. Spoil yourself - Kilmorna Manor is well worth a visit!
