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 AfricaIt's dusty but that's ok. Not enough duvet in case we wanted to sleep in different beds
Very different to usual, very old fashioned yet lively, we will book a few more nights when we go again

South AfricaThe two bunkbeds are very tall, wobble a bit (I wasn't worried about them falling over, but they felt slightly unstable) and had no side railings on the top bunk, so I would only let older children sleep on the top. Other than that what you see on the photos is what you get, and we were very happy with the accommodation!
We had a short, but very enjoyable stay at Aandster. The house was clean, had all the necessities for self catering and our host was communicative and very friendly. The fireplace was a lifesaver for the cold winter night, and there were electric blankets and heaters - what a bonus! There is a charming little garden too.

South AfricaCan invest in better bath towels as bedding was good quality.
Loved the charming old house in small Karoo town. Everything was easy to find and the self catering equipment were more adequate. Did not miss a tv or wifi but some might.

South AfricaThe unassuming facade hides a large, comfortable, old-fashioned house with modern kitchen and hidde garden. The rooms are expansive and garden a refuge. Early morning saw me step put into the wide gravel roads of Nieu-Bethesda to explore. Within a block I encountered some free ranging horses foraging along the road. The labyrinth is nearby and a wonderful choice at that time of day. Katrin was friendly and very helpful with pointing out points of interests on a map and having offered to book us dinner before our arrival. Her office at the Owl House Backpackers is just round the corner in the main street and very accessible for keys and advice. Would love to return for a longer stay and to say hallo to the visiting cats again.

South AfricaOnly 1 bathroom (includes the only toilet) for 4 of us sleeping in 2 bedrooms. Cat wanted to come in so we couldn't keep doors and windows open. Easy to carry luggage as the car can be parked right at the front door.
Quiet location close to the beautiful church
