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 AfricaStaff were unenthusiastic in their welcome. Lack of attention to detail eg shower door was not clean, only one coffee cup supplied (when 2 people were booked in the room. The lounge was a shambles with old lamps stored on the billiard table and the rest of the area being used as storage. Mattresses stored in the passageway. Outside areas not swept.
Position in the winelends is ideal for visiting attraction in the area. Quiet and rural. Very good bed. Great breakfast. Lovely library.

United Arab Emirateswe stayed 2 nights and nobody ever took the trash out; breakfast only had a choice of eggs, cereals, bread and jam; it’s a self-catering accommodation, so there’s no food available, you have to order from outside or go out to eat, which is quite inconvenient; No facilities for children, I wish there was a playground. I believe that for the amount we paid they could have offered more than just a place to sleep and walk in the nature.
the room we got was spacious; staff was friendly, the area was green and nice, and my daughter loved the dogs.

South AfricaA deep clean of some areas in the cottage is needed, taps, tiles, carpets, blankets had hair on them, maybe dog hair. A shady parking spot for car under the tree would be great. Pool pump ran continuously and electricity was unstable but generator kicked in so no inconvenience. Surprised that it's cheaper to book on booking.com than directly with the property
Breakfast was great, excellent service, friendly staff.

South AfricaThe place itself is quite nice - hospitality, not so much! not the warmest or friendliest of welcomes. We stayed at the manor house which was not that great - the furniture in the lobby smelled of the pet dogs and the dogs and staff were quite noisy in the morning which causes a disturbance when sleeping. There was no drinking/bottled water available in the room - there is a nespresso machine in the room which is pointless if the coffee pods are not provided or there is no communication beforehand to at least bring your own coffee pods, so that was a waste. Overall not impressed which is very unfortunate because the property is really beautiful and the experience could have been significantly more pleasant. Did not find this worth the price - disappointing.

Marshen Estate is an absolute gem of a place. Driving into the estate you are taken away on an adventure. A lovely dam, a few springboks is what you see on your way to the guesthouse , peace and quiet is what you will find. There are big beautiful trees, the guest house we stayed in looked like a charming England Cottage. Staff are friendly, dedicated and the breakfast was delicious. The rooms are very clean, beautifully decorated and spacious. There is a big swimming pool, koi pond and a big garden. A venue of choice if you want a world class accommodation experience.
