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.).

The best stay in Cape Town. Chase and Michelle were just amazing. The room was amazing, clean and the vibe in Casa del Sonder is great. We really liked their restaurant recommendations and the cappuccino is the best. Breakfast was just as wonderful as well. Thank you guys so much for everything. We would come back anytime! 10/10

AustriaNo notes! Again, stay here!!
Hands down, Casa del Sonder is a true gem and one of the nicest hotels we stayed in SA! We absolutely loved this place, especially, the stunning views from the rooftop terrace overlooking Bo-Kaap and the Table Mountain. Oh gosh, such a treat!Sadly, it was too cold to benefit from the pool but this place offers the perfect spot for sundowners! Super central location, very clean facilities, the staff is amazing/friendly, the interior just wonderful. If you are coming to Cape Town, you must stay here!

ThailandI don’t like dragging my luggage upstair lol
During my overnight stay at Casa Del Sonder before heading to Montagu, I experienced exceptional service from the staff, particularly a girl who patiently waited for my late check-in. It's advisable to inform the hotel if you anticipate arriving after their standard check-in time. The hotel itself is delightful, with charming interiors that any photographer would appreciate. The colors, furnishings, and attention to detail create a visually appealing atmosphere. The hotel is located next to a mosque, and the frequent prayer calls throughout the day may disturb those who require extended periods of sleep. Nonetheless, as someone who has traveled to Istanbul before, this wasn't an issue for me. The paid breakfast was a highlight of my stay, with made-to-order dishes served with care. Additionally, the quaint coffee shop downstairs added to the overall charm of the establishment. A pleasant surprise was encountering a group of friendly children on their way to school or the mosque, who even asked me to take their photo. This interaction added a personal touch to my experience, and I look forward to reconnecting with them on my next visit to the area.

United KingdomYou need to take Uber everywhere, doesn’t feel so safe to walk. V&A Waterfront is a 10 minute Uber Ride, I thought it would be walkable but the city isn’t setup that way. Location is still very good and central.
Homely family vibe with two very warm owners - Chad and Michelle. Lovely and eclectic decorated rooms. Nice communal living room. Comfy beds and great family room with three beds.

South AfricaThe location is somewhat noisy at night given that it's close to the center of town - we heard quite a bit of police sirens. It looks like there's a police car pound across the way.
This was a perfect centrally located choice for us for a 1-night stay in Cape Town. The place is charming and has everything we needed. We left behind an item and the staff were kind enogh to keep it for us for collection on our way back - this is very much appreciated! :-)
