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.).

United StatesThe apartment was perfect, exactly what you see in the pictures, and it had everything you'd need for a comfortable stay! The pizza oven was such a wonderful feature, we loved making our own pizzas for the very first time, the hosts also have equipped guests with all the necessary information regarding check in and how to use the equipment as well as things to do around the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our staycation and would definitely be back again.

South AfricaThe pedestrian gate at the apartment needs some TLC. The internet was not available during load-shedding but that did not bother us as we always travel with personal internet, and additional rechargeable lights were available.
The lovely apartments are near the centre of town and not too far from the N3. It was a very good stopover on our way to the coast. The property is within a short walking distance from Urban 68 and 68 on main restaurants. There is a carport which is always a bonus for us and an Alarm system, so we felt safe during our stay. The bed was very comfortable, and the linen was crisp and clean. The working desk was nice to have as I was still working. Apartment A is beautifully decorated and next time we will use the pizza oven.

South AfricaThe unit could do with more rechargeable lanterns for us to use during loadshedding
Lovely unit, that mostly had everything we needed for the weekend we stayed there. The gas stove is a winner during loadshedding. The village of Howick really has alot to offer, the Howick Falls, Karkloof Market on the weekend and lovely coffee shops (Bluebird is excellent) and some lovely shops as well. Very close to Midmar dam, Piggly Wiggly as well as Nottingham road.

South AfricaThe bunk beds in the bedroom are "unstable", so they make a noise every time the kids turn in their sleep. This made it difficult for any of us to actually sleep. The doors also all need to get Q20 on them - they creek when opening or closing them. (specially the bathroom & bedroom doors)
The unit is beautifully decorated and has everything one would require for an overnight stay. We felt save and well informed. The outside area is beautiful and relaxing.

South AfricaI struggled with both the locks When raining, it is very frustrating, and the small entrance gate is hard to pull open. The back door looked unsecure and didn't have a security gate on. So we weren't sure how safe it was.
I loved the small garden for dogs I loved the outside verandah The location was good and easy to find. Very clean and comfortable.

He began to clean from 9.30am during my personal time!i found this to be very rude/invasive and he was imposing my space as I was merely in a towel when he walked right upto the patio door
