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 AfricaMy stay was all good. No complaints.
Situated in a quite suburb in Mthatha South, this guest house is close to the town centre and shops. Received with a warm and friendly welcome by receptionist Nosictelo Nono and the checking in and out was smooth and effortless. The room is well equipped, large bathroom, very comfy bed and direct access to a small patio, the garden and a sparkling blue pool. Secure parking on site.

South AfricaThe guest house is beautiful & nice & quiet, we just had the unfortunate incident of a currently unidentified person who opened the electrical gate onto our vehicle & scratched & dented the body & broke the tail brake light. We alerted the host (manager) & owner & got no immediate compensation of any free stay voucher for our inconvenience. We alerted our insurance & it is dealing with the matter, Ms Maureen Konyana whom is the owner spoke with me & agreed to make the video footage available for investigation. The parking premises is way too small & doesn't cater for big cars bigger than sedans. We are happy with the accommodation but very disappointed in how the owner handled our unfortunate mishap that happened at their premises.

South AfricaI was not happy with them not giving out the gate remote. We had to wait outside the gate for the security to open for us. For 3 nights it was not a smooth process I was so annoyed bcoz standing there at 23:00 in Umtata was not safe at all.
The bnb was a little bit far from the place I had to travel +-30 km n it's in the innermost of Southern wood but it is a very nice place. Nice rooms with backup, electric blankets n aircon. I really love the place
