How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Unfortunately, the inn's restaurant/brewhouse was undegoing renovations during our three-day stay in January, but no problem: there is such a cluster of restaurants and pubs nearby that you'll have a surfeit of options from which to choose.
You can't beat the location, and hosts Tommy and Amy Redelinghuys couldn't be nicer. The Inn's property is narrow but deep, and the accomodations extend linearly behind the main hotel/retaurant edifice fronting Main Street in Greyton. Secure parking is opposite the units, with a gate to prevent horses which wander freely in the village from entering. Our forward unit had a loft from whose upstairs bedroom we had a nice view of the pool and gardens. Despite being on the main drag, there was no noticeable street noise during our stay, and we had our choice of cafes and restaurants right outside in either direction. We enjoyed lunch in the gardens at Fiore a couple doors down from the inn, but also liked Oak & Vigne Cafe nearby. Amy recommended we spend some time wandering among the 18th C. architecture of historic Genadendal, just 5 minutes away - a 'must see'. Glad we took her advice.

The pub next door had a blast with kareoke, but stopped at 22h30 so was not an issue. Lovely stay!
Loved the staff and ambiance, comfortable bed and lovely to see the town passing by from my window.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Old Potter's Inn, and overall, my experience was quite satisfactory. The inn proved to be a comfortable and adequate accommodation that met my expectations. The room I stayed in was clean and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, providing a good night's sleep after a day of exploring the surrounding area. The staff at Old Potter's Inn were friendly and accommodating, ensuring a smooth check-in process and addressing any inquiries I had during my stay. The inn's location is convenient, providing easy access to local attractions and dining options. Additionally, the peaceful atmosphere of the surrounding area contributed to a relaxing stay.
