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.).

NetherlandsKaitlin is super friendly, supportive and knowledgable! We got a free upgrade because it was quite. We could use some pegs to dry our clothes on the washing line. It was just a 10 minute drive from the main entrance of Addo Elephant Park.

FranceNothing that was within their control. Be prepared for load-shedding not matching the forecast and also being 12 hours or longer. Charge your stuff as soon as you can.
This little gem of a place is such good value and so well-located and easy-to-find. The property is on the main road, just outside Addo village and only a 10 minute drive from Addo Elephant Park. The accommodation is all contained within the former home of the family that run it and who still live on the property. Our bedroom door was marked "Josh's Room" and we met Josh on our first night, as he was at the braai at the onsite bar. It was here we were introduced to "braai pizzas" an ingenious way of serving food during load-shedding. The room we had was large and comfortable and the bathroom, while shared was clean and everything worked. The kitchen was well-equipped and it's possible to boil water in a pan on the gas hob for morning coffee of there's no power.

AustraliaThe hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room was huge and great value for money. Was a great experience going to their bar one night and meeting lots of interesting locals. If you are planning on visiting the Elephant park this is the perfect place to stay. Its very close to the entrance gate plus there is also a supermarket and restaurants close by.

Perfect to visit Addo Elephant Park. Just 5 min Drive From the main entrance. A shame that we didnt stay longer to explore the área. The accomodation was veeeery nice and welcoming. The room huge and a full equiped kitchen. And the owners, specialy Kaitlin, were super friendly. She explained all necesary and gave us tips to visit the Park. There is also option of eating pizza just 1 min walk. Best wishes to you Kaitlin!

NetherlandsThere was nothing to dislike for us!
Very beautiful place, awesome surroundings, very quiet and peaceful! Owners where very helpful with everything we needed. Gave us some raincoats when we were going to the restaurant nearby and gave us coffee as we forgot to bring some ourselves! They also gave us various tips for the rest of our trip! I would definitely recommend this place! Room and facilities were a little bit outdated, but we didn’t care about any of that!

United KingdomLack of load shedding lights so everything is dark. A number of things need refreshing. It doesn’t feel like a place you want to chill and enjoy.
Basic clean and comfortable accommodation. I recommend it if you are having busy days and don’t spend much time chilling there.
