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 booking was made for a 2 bedroom house, but on arrival we were shown to a one-bedroom house. The advertisement says 2 bedroom house but the fine print says 1 bedroom. This should be clearly stated in the booking. The wi-fi and Netflix didn't work during our stay.
The location was beautiful and central, lovely paths to walk on. The inside braai area is wonderful with stunning views of the lake. Spacious and well equipped.

Unfortunately we left our friends in the house, so we took the room that was given to us.Thanks to Ben and Hanneke to help out with the misunderstanding on Booking.com website.

Ideal location for a retreat. I enjoyed a quiet and peaceful getaway, in a beautiful modern cottage with stunning views. The cottage was clean and neat, the staff & owners gives you sufficient space to stay isolated. Great Wi-fi connection with a Smart TV. Loved everything about it!! Definitely going to come back.

South AfricaDisturbing are the table chairs and huge sofas that look good but are highly uncomfortable. The chairs would be good in a church but not at an eating table. The sitting positions is pressing your belly if you are not totally slim. The huge sofas are also not comfortable, so it is not really cosy to sit down.
It is a self catering cottage with a breath taking view far on mountains and lake/dam. The major road crossing the valley, c 1 km away, in front of the beautiful view, is however well in your years reach and sometimes too noisy. Most of the time however not disturbing. The sleeping room is on the other side of the cottage. The cottage is really offering everything needed, including a well working barbeque place in house. Nice small kitchen and well equipped. The gliding windows transforming the living room to a terrace is magnificent! Plenty to see in the vicinity, especially the excellent chees manufacturing farm in the Cheerio road is very recommendable, and the beautiful gardens and landscapes every where.

South AfricaOne can hear the cars in the busy R36 road in the valley below but I didn't find it invasive or at any time a noise nuisance. Proximity to the road is actually an advantage if en route.
Exceptionally clean and comfortable in a secure environment. The cottage has everything you need, including an internal fire/braai place! The garden and birdlife is magnificent :)

South AfricaAccess was a problem. The driveway has two gates. Had a long wait and a few calls for someone to open the first gate. Then once we were through no one opened the second gate leaving us trapped between the two gates in hot riding gear. We were told to hoot and someone would open which didn't work. Made a number of calls to contact person which either did not go through or were cut off. Very frustrating! Eventually decided to walk around the perimeter fence and found a pedestrian gate and then found someone to open the gate for us. He was very apologetic and explained that he had given the staff off, but had not been told of our arrival. Fortunately the excellent views and beautiful gardens compensated for the inconvenience. An outside braai would also have been nice. The braai area is enclosed which is probably great for poor weather but on a beautiful evening an outside braai would have been better.
Magnificent view. Beautiful gardens. Very comfortable cottages. Well equipped.

South AfricaWe just wished we could stay longer!
Fantastic location! A lovely little house. More space than we expected. Wonderful kitchen with everything you could need. Just bring your own food! The view is something out of this world. We liked it so much, we will never want to stay at another place when we come back to this area! A private, special place to go if you want to get away from everything. We did a hiking trip every day in the area and enjoyed every moment when we returned to our little home far from home.
