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.).

GermanyThe only shortcomings I can think of come at no fault of our hosts. If you book a stay here, it is important that you make sure Shirley has received your correct phone number otherwise you will experience trouble opening the gate. Booking.com automatically passed my German phone number on while I was using a South African SIM during my stay. On the day of our check out, then, the taps went dry for the entire neighbourhood. Shirley immediately messaged us to apologise. I am sure if we had stayed longer, she would have come up with a practical solution and help.
The suite had everything we wanted: A comfy bed; a little desk; nice armchairs; a tea kitchen; a fridge stocked with milk, butter, and very tasty marmalade; a functional bathroom. Moreover, everything looked very pretty and well taken care of. We felt very warmly welcomed while at the same time we were given enough privacy. Parking was excellent, and we were so grateful for Sylvia's help with the gate. The area seemed very safe.

South AfricaIt may have been the network but the wifi didn’t work. But we weren’t bothered because we wanted to relax and had own data anyway.
Friendly host and staff - we were welcomed by the friendly Sylvia🙏🏾 Thanks for all your help! Spacious unit and very clean/fresh. Peaceful night. Its a self-catering unit with a microwave, fridge and has an air fryer. [We only stayed for an evening and didnt need to use all but all these are available]. Parking available inside property. And its on the prime side of Durban North. The place is exactly like the pics advertised. Its a place I can definitely go back to if needed. 👌🏾

South AfricaI should not say this but I want to re -hang the curtains in the bedroom that I slept in...I am just very fussy about curtains hanging up nicely with no missing hooks....but that is minor compared to all the good things....
The staff Sylvia was excellent and very attentive to our needs. The unit was immaculate and perfect for the one day that we stayed.. I will definitely rebook here whenever I am in Durban.
