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 AfricaWould need to tell people that there is a need for a 4x4 to enter the property, small cars will struggle. Shower was a bit small and the water temperature was difficult to regulate.
Bed was really comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, staff was very welcoming and accommodating , daily room cleaning. The views was amazing and the premises was really well kept

South AfricaThe only thing that could possibly turn people away is the road to the venue. Due to it’s ‘hidden gem’ type location, it is burried between mountains, which makes it a little hard to reach.
The cabins are located next to a small lake in the middle of Magoebaskloof, which gives a beautiful view and a great peaceful experience.

South AfricaSteps onto deck of cabin, 1st step broken. Drunk, load and hard music from neighbour cabin. Beer bottles all over the terrace. Drunk neighbours passing in front of my cabin, load and unpleasant. Its not up to me the guest whom came for peace and rest to complain, management should check on guests often to solve such issues. No privacy.
The beauty of nature, birds, and space to walk with my dog.

South AfricaToilet (or sewage system) needs to be fixed. The cabin had a bit of a smell everytime we walked in.
I loved the scenic views from the log cabin. Very cosy and comfortable for a couple. Staff was really friendly. Enjoyed the hike at the Magoebaskloof Getaway Hiking Trail (very scenic and safe). Closer to most attractions. Overall a wonderful experience.

South Africawhat could have been better if they inform prior about changes, I was expecting to sleep on log cabins next to the dam. Unfortunately I was given a house next to the reception and I was told its a first come first serve basis.
location of the property is breath taking in the middle of the mountains , the morning breeze with different sound of the birds makes you feel complete with nature.

BulgariaDifficult to find, especially at night, especially during a power outage. The road signs point to a different name of the same establishment. The log cabin was clean inside, but not necessarily cleaned on our arrival date. We needed to clean the chairs and table on the stoep to be able to make use of them

South AfricaThe road down to the cottages is dismal and difficult to navigate. Although we managed it, the road needs some upkeep for city dwellers used to better road conditions.
The cottage was lovely and we enjoyed the quietness and beautiful scenery. Great views of the pond and the mountains with trees all around. Thanks for a great adventure.

South AfricaWhen the place was advertised it was indicated that there was a swimming pool. When we get there we were told that there was no swimming pool and there was never one. Booking.com is .isleading customers. It is a great place though we had a good time.
We thought we'd get breakfast unfortunately we were told that we make arrangements for breakfast with the bookings. We were not aware of that.
