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.).

AustraliaThe people staying there before us checked out late so cleaners were still there when we arrived, but it wasn't an issue as we enjoyed some drinks on the patio while we waited. Although we had a good time we had small children with us (2 and 4 years old) and found the outside area to be quite the hazard - uneven surfaces, slanted steps, open fencing with big drops down to the ground, pool was also very slippery in the shallow end so we had to watch our children 24/7 for their safety. Not an issue if you are all adults, but worthwhile being careful. The property has everything you need but is looking a bit tired and could do with a "refresh".
The view is amazing! Very relaxing sitting outside and watching animals in the distance. We used the fire pit every night and enjoyed having braais. There was frequent loadshedding but wasnt a massive issue as there was an inverter installed which helped (although the oven and dishwasher wouldn't work during loadshedding). We had nyala and peacocks visit our unit in the early evenings which was nice (although, not so nice was finding a snake on the patio as we were leaving). We hired the game drive vehicle and did a self-guided drive around the reserve and Mabalingwe - saw amazing sightings (elephant, rhino, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, warthog, various buck).

South AfricaThere were no waterpressure during loadshedding. The lodge is far from the restaurants.
The swimming pool and deck looking into the bush was magnificent.

South AfricaThe property does need some attention. Really bad mold and water damage in the scullery. A coat of paint on the interior would do wonders for this property. Next time please make sure the gas is turned on to use amenities like the gas hob. Load shedding is a problem but we came prepared and actually enjoyed the peace and quite it brings.
The views are really exceptional. Quite and great for a peaceful breakaway or family get together. Hosts made sure we had wood as ordered and ready on arrival. Also made sure we had the access card required to travel in the property.

South AfricaWhile the view from the house was amazing, and the pool table was enjoyable, the overall condition was fair and needed some deep cleaning, including the mouldy bathrooms. This is not a 4-bedroom house - one bedroom is externally accessible, and an average tall person cannot move in the room because of the low ceiling. The lack of air conditioning made the stay uncomfortable. We hired the game drive vehicle, which was a hazard and not worth renting.
The view was amazing!
