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 AfricaMyself and the family cannot think of anything we did not like.
The cleanliness of the rooms, the good breakfast, die pool and gym, the fact that we had 2 x rooms next to each other, the coffee/tea in the rooms, very neat bathrooms, clean linen and very friendly and helpful staff members

DenmarkThe breakfast could have had a nicer touch with a wider range of bread, cold meat, cheese and cereals. Location-wise, we found it a bit too far from the Addo EP main entrance.
Very nice. Really good that they gave us - as a family - two adjacent rooms which do connect with each other.

South AfricaBookings on the booking.com website could be misleading as the website asks for number of children, including their ages, so the assumption is that when you request 2 rooms for 2 adults and 2 toddlers that it would be a family unit instead of two separate rooms that are not linked.
The staff were very accommodating to set us up as a family in one room. The food at the guesthouse was great and it's a great location to get to Addo Elephant Park.

United KingdomIt was further from Addo than I realised, exacerbated by endless road works but I would not have changed anything
The staff were all delightful and couldn’t be more helpful. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The grounds were lovely with a small but sparkling pool with quality towels provided. We had dinner twice, each time delicious, and breakfast twice which was equally plentiful and perfect. This is a real gem.

South AfricaThe company charged the rooms on the booking.com app as well as demanded an on-site payment. I notified the administrator that payment was made, but the company instisted that an amount was on hold. This was not the case, and a double payment was made. The company did not follow up to rectify the overcharged amount.
Easy check-in and easy to find. Rooms are quite big. Super friendly restaurant staff.
