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 first day, I had to sweep the floor as it was quite dirty.(spiders and cobwebs, dust, cockroaches- of which i killed 8 on the first day, I actually counted) I think that they did clean the place after the previous people checked out, but think the place then stayed empty for quite a while and was not cleaned the day before we got there. The cupboards and everything in there is very clean. The beds were clean and smelled clean and fresh. The living room couch cushions really need a wash, there are a few stains on them. There were no mats on the floor for when you get out of the bath or shower, so we had to use a spare towel. Being on the floor unit, i would have liked the windows of the other rooms barred. They are big windows and can easily be opened(obviously from inside). I actually mistakenly thought the one window was closed the first night but it wasn’t locked properly, so I kept checking in on my kids during the nights, to see if they are still there. I am very paranoid when it comes to my kids’ safety. And then there is a small window in the one room that does not close at all, the latch or something is broken, so when there is a strong wind blowing, you can feel it a bit coming into through the gap. Something I did not keep in mind when booking was having a table to eat inside. With two kids it was difficult and they had to sit on the floor, which made them mess more for some reason which meant more cleaning for me. There is a table outside, but on a rainy or cold day, you cannot sit there. We’ve never stayed on a ground unit before, the privacy is not that great as other people walk by on the tiny piece of grass outside, aswell as the security making his rounds. There are quite a few cats which is a real nusance. They lie on the couches at night outside and leave ticks behind. I had to clean the cushions every morning before we could sit outside.
I loved sitting outside looking at the sunrise, the view is beautiful! This unit has a washer and drier which I really liked, but there is also a laundry facility in the complex that you can use as well. The swimming pool is also very well maintained. The water was just extremely cold. But we dared it on for the fun of it. Having a gas braaier at the unit is also really very nice. There were emergency lights provided for when the electricity went out due to loadshedding ,so we did not have to sit in complete darkness or struggle to find matches or candles and the wifi still worked even when the electricity was off. The agent we had to work through was very friendly and gave us all the info etc that we needed. There were no hiccups communication wise and will gladly work through them again. The security at the complex is very friendly. The whole complex is very well maintained and a lot of effort goes into keeping it tidy. I would definitely come back to this complex and book again.

South AfricaThe Unit needs some TLC. - DSTV not working, Blinds Broken, privacy screen in pieces, some zips of the couch cushions were broken as well as the outside wooden chairs. The unit was perhaps not aired which led to a proliferation of small cockroaches. No soaps or toilet paper.

South AfricaI didn't like how the the host addressed the issues we had, she didnt care and was very rude. For example on the first nite we arrived there was loadshedding and we weren't prepared, the worst of all we were preparing dinner. When we messaged to ask atleast for torches. She was rude and sad we should have checked online. Her service was so disgusting. We felt that she doesnt care about us after we had paid. , because she kept on saying ishe has 18 units she dealing with so she cant address all issues. There was issues with dish clothes to wipe the counters you have to come with your own , they only provided1 tissue for 6 guests for 3 nights. My point was atleast let us know before we arrive so we can come prepared. Another thing i had to beg her for our breakage deposit only got it on the 9th day after departure. I hope the host Mrs Duplooy can learn to treat people regardless of who they are.
The accommodation and view was stunning, And actual setting of the place was beautiful
