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.).

This was a great stay for our time in Knysna. Breakfast was great, it wasn't too busy, and there was a guide book with some great recommendations. Very comfortable and secure.

NetherlandsOne of the few places with no back-up power at all, not even wifi. Not a major issue for us given the planned load shedding event but not all might agree with that ;-)
Nice and well kept guesthouse at a conveniet location near to the center of Knysna. Beds were very comfortable and breakfast was good. Value for money is excellent!

MalaysiaThe driveway is on a steep slope, but not an issue for our 3 cars.
The reception was efficient in allocating rooms to the 12 of us. The rooms were super clean and beds were very comfortable. Bkf was superb, huge portions of hot foods with fruit, cold cuts, cheese and cereal buffet. Coffee was nice too. Staff were lovely and cheery. Totally recommended.

South AfricaThe toilet seemed to struggle with flushing. And the other guests were extremely loud at night. I suppose that’s not your problem but the room next to us was a supply closet and it’s door kept being slammed.
The breakfast was delicious, the bed was super comfortable for a good nights sleep and the shower was amazing!

IndiaNot much to complain about actually. Maybe the size of the room could have been a little bigger (the bathroom is pretty big though, so bathroom lovers won't have anything to complain about)
Staff was very courteous. Maria is a sweetheart and greets you with such warm energy that you instantly feel at ease. She also went out of her way to allow us to keep our bags safe post checkout when we wanted to roam around town. The breakfast was fantastic. South Africa's best bacon is served here :) The room had all the amenities one can expect, along with a spacious balcony with a splendid view. The location is superb - just 8-10 min away from Thesen, Leisure, East Heads and so on.

Lovely welcoming after a long drive. The rooms are really nice, modern and clean. The breakfast is very good, many thing you can choose. And the pool area is lovely as well. We would’ve loved to stay a bit longer.

South AfricaMy only complain was that the shower water didn't get hot even after I had left it to run for ages.
As the Orange Inn was cheaper than the other places we had stayed on the trip I was a little apprehensive. However I was very impressed with everything. The attention to detail in the decor eg diffuser and tissues in the bathroom was amazing. The breakfast was excellent and the hostess was really welcoming. Definitely the best value for money on our whole trip. Highly recommended.
