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 AfricaNo further comments as everything was spot on.
Excellent breakfast. Mel made the stay more worthwhile as she had a warm welcome even though we only arrived at 11:30pm. She also took the liberty of taking the participants of the Knysna Heads Marathon to the starting line the morning of the race. She also made us toast and waited until we were back to serve breakfast. She also ensured that we were on time (left the guest house around 4:30am) and also fetched us after the race. She was an excellent host and I thank her for all her efforts. The staff were also friendly & helpful.

South AfricaSad to say that we traveled for our anniversary and the experience at the guest house did not feel special at all. We upgraded to the "Honeymoon Suite" but there was no special turn down prepared for us and the room did not give off any romantic appeal. Breakfast was average - an important fact of our trip was that our dietary requirements were not met despite informing the staff way in advance. Decent fresh milk was not given in the rooms and the coffee sachets were not replaced daily - we had to go out and get these basic things. Staff were very loud in the mornings from 7am as well so we could not even rest properly. On departure day, we were rushed rudely by the staff by constant knocking even though we had until 11am to check out. Overall, the property is more like a road lodge or stop-off motel than a 'luxury' guest house. Disappointingly, our expectations were not met at all despite choosing this property amongst many other suitable options. Not a return property for us unfortunately.
Facilities were in good condition in the rooms, the bed was comfy and loved the spa bath.

GermanyWe booked a room for a very decent rate and received what we paid for. Unfortunately the bed sheets were a bit dirty and the smell in the bathroom was not so nice.
We can't say much about the Guest House, as we arrived super late and left quite early in the morning. The friendly owner of the Guest House made a very late check-in possible, which was great! The garden and pool area looked nice, but we didn't use it.

PolandI'm a frequent visitor to South Africa and have never criticized a place after one night, but unfortunately this place deserves attention. Only... the bedding was clean. I'm sorry, but even for a moderate price, the room and bathroom need to be cleaned thoroughly.
Nice facility with potential, very good location, nice hostess, decent breakfast.
