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 place was completely what we were looking for in the Berg and more : peace, tranquility, privacy, opportunity for hiking and very close to the border with Lesotho ( ideal for Sani Pass tours, all organized and you are picked up from the cottages) . The place gives a very authentic yet comfortable experience of the mountain life, with comfortable bads, great shower, option of cooking gas or an electric stove, fire place and generous arrangement for extra wood, decent Wi-Fi connection in selected spots. Great hospitality, just the right balance of genuine care and availability without being intrusive. And you get fresh, most delicious scones every morning. We will definitely go back.

We had the most delicious scones delivered. Hot water bottles that ended up not being necessary, as the cottage was so wonderfully insulated. The view was wonderful! Quiet, clean, beautiful and a lovely hike. We loved every second and hope to visit again

South AfricaEverything was perfect, could not be improved upon!
Everything about the accommodation is excellent, we could not have asked for more, super clean warm and comfortable beds, super crisp white linen and warm duvets on the beds, there were lots of lamps etc. supplied in all the rooms to cope with the load shedding, including a two burner gas stove for emergencies. freshly bakes scones are delivered daily to the cottages, please remember to bring your own butter and jam to enjoy them! \The kitchen is very well equipped, and our cottage overlooked the dam so we had super views, wonderful bird watching opportunities. I would recommend Coot Cottage

South AfricaThe bathroom door latch was difficult to close and open so we used a piece of carton between the door and frame to close which was easier. The bathroom window did not have a latch so we had to close the window because of the baboons and therefore the bathroom could not be ventilated before we went out for the day.
We loved the tranquility and being surrounded by mountains. Betty gave us a warm welcome and gave us advice on restaurants and activities. It was great that the Sani pass tour vehicle could pick us up at our accommodation and that we did not have to travel to Underberg to join the tour.
