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.).

RussiaThe best recommendations. We stayed in the same Guest House the second time. The people who owned this House kept some of our luggage when we were traveling in Africa. It was slightly cold in the dining room. All other conditions are excellent.

GermanyApparently the window type does not allow to install fly screens.
The guesthouse is separated from the main house. So you are not walking through the host's living room to get to your room as I had it at other places in Houghton Estate. I appreciated this fact very much.

South AfricaI liked everything. There was nothing to not like. Please put a guest book in the room, I would have LOVED to have written a review for other guests to see.
Beautiful accommodation. Lots of room with own lounge area along with a dining table and chairs, perfect spot to remotely work if needed, Great Wi-Fi, Power outages didn't affect my stay as there is an inverter/solar working, so I didn't even notice the switch over. Breakfast was perfect. Delivered to the room. Continental. Lots of choice. Thank you, I will be back.

Angie and Gloria were very accommodating and made the trip even more special for us. including the fact they were willing to do some surprises for our stay.

United StatesBecause of the gated entry we had to carry the gate remote with us as well as the key to the house. It would be nice if the gate had a keypad and guests could be given a code instead of needing the host to physically let them in. Not sure if this is a technology that is even used there, though.
The property was beautiful and safe in a very nice neighborhood. We did the city tour bus and were able to walk to the bus stop near Mandela’s home. We were also able to walk to the Rosebank Mall which had many stores and restaurants. Our flight in was late, so we arrived to the property after check-in time. Our Uber driver had to call Angie several times before she came to the gate to let us in (she had already gone to bed), so I’d recommend arriving on time or having a clear discussion about a late arrival (we had booked this last-minute as a safer alternative to the location we had already booked). Breakfast was wonderful—hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, cheese, fruit, juice, milk, bread—plenty of food to eat and some to have as a mid-day snack. There was a pool on the property but being winter it wasn’t open. Not sure if that was for guest use or just the owners, so something to clarify for a summer stay.
