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 AfricaNothing. All great!
A beautiful, neat and clean cottage close to town so easy walking distance. Very comfortable bed. Delicious surprise of bread, yogurt, jams, butter, coffee and teas as well as granola and cereals. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will come back again.

South AfricaNot much to say. If nitpicking, the shower is quite close to toilet area so can be a little slippery when wet. Water supply can apparently be an issue for Clarens but we had no issues during our stay.
Perfect space and comfortable facilities for a couple, with cozy lounge area and fireplace. Great location just a short walk from the main square with lovely views towards the mountains. Appreciated the snacks/breakfast supplies provided. Compact but well-equipped kitchen area.

South AfricaHonestly there wasn't anything to fault. The fridge needs something done to it to balance it properly, the compressor makes a racket, something rattles alot but with some minor adjustments to the feet it sorts it out. I see we weren't the only ones to try balance it. Some serviettes and the door stopper were under to try ease the rattle. Think it only happens when the fridge is full. But it didn't cause any discomfort. I love the cottage. Perfect for my wife and myself.
The views of the mountains from the cottage are stunning.. the location of the cottage is perfect to be able to walk to the town centre. The addition of some condiments, juice and water, tea and coffee supplies are super. Thanks for that.

South AfricaWe could not find anything not to our liking.
Clarens Mountain Sage Cottage in Clarens offered a superb stay with thoughtful touches that made it truly special. We loved the spacious and meticulously tidy cottage and the charming garden. Its ideal location and close proximity to the village allowed for easy exploration of Clarens on foot. The coffee and tea station boasted a variety of coffees and teas, accompanied by rusks and cereal. The pleasant surprise of finding a well-stocked fridge, including butter, milk, bottled water, jams, fruit juice and yogurt, enhanced our experience.

South AfricaThe bed was really uncomfortable for a big person such as myself. Really didn't sleep well. . A new, firmer bed should be considered.
Great little cottage was everything that we had hoped for. Clean, safe, neat and tidy and a really good location close to the square. Great views also. And all the little extras made our stay so much fun and relaxing.

FranceEverything was perfect or even better
Wonderful cottage, very close to town center and with a fantastic view on the mountains. We could have spent the entire day on the porch. Very easy communication and simple access to the cottage, nice to have private secure parking. Lots of thoughtful little gifts that make guests feel very welcome; everything one could wish for breakfast was there. If we come back to Clarens (we enjoyed the hikes in the area), we'll definitely book the cottage again; meanwhile, we'll recommend it warmly to our friends
