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 shower and toilet were too small, and the hot water takes too long to come out of the taps. this wastes a lot of water and you end up taking too long in the bathroom. the gas cylinder for the heater was empty and we couldn't be given a new one so we had to spend the cold night without heat.
breakfast was great, everything tasted good.

South AfricaThe price of the property got very expensive comparatively to other properties as out date for check in got closer. Unfortunately this was due to factors beyond our control. The meals were not halaal and this is something the property could look into for the future.
The place was very clean and comfortable. Its location is also great.

South AfricaThe place is just not up to standard for the price that you pay and what is been offered by booking.com. We are very frequent travellers - about 30-40 guesthouses all over the world per annum... and this one stands out as not up to the standard that is expected. The towels in the bathroom are not even of the same colour - one beige and one green, one of the side lamps does not work. There is a general feeling that for the price you pay the place should be better maintained. We have stayed for R400 less in a top notch guesthouse in Knysna with an excellent breakfast and for the same amount less in an even better place in Kirkwood.
Location is great. Lovely environment. Good clean linen and a good bed and very good toiletries.

South AfricaThe low point of the otherwise great stay was that the geyser had been broken. No prior warning and it wasn't known until I complained. There was no hot water at all and to need to be ready after long journey to Makhanda for my graduation ceremony without even a warm shower was terrible. The alternative offered was to use the shower in another guest's room. Was quite disappointed
The breakfast ladies were lovely. The rooms were comfortable and it was close to Rhodes University - where I needed to be for graduation.

South AfricaEverything was on point. In fact, the facility turned out to be even better than how it is portrayed on booking.com...
This place is a haven of tranquility - perfect for business and leisure sojourns in this area. Adriana is an amazing host. She is profoundly invested in the wellbeing of her guests before, during and after their stay at the guest as exemplified how she regularly communicated and took trouble to check on us to ensure that we were comfortable at all times. We also appreciated her responsiveness immensely. The staff were equally courteous and professional.
