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 AfricaWe were not told about the R60pp charge to use the jacuzzi in the wellness centre until after we were done using it. We purchased a few items from the convenience store which were long expired such as cup a soup, crackers and noodles, but the worst was a packet of biltong which was rotten and smelled terrible when we opened the packet. I suggest you pack whatever you need as the convenience store keeps expired goods.
It was very neat and well kept. Loved the jacuzzi and heated pool

South AfricaThe roads to the resort desperately need maintenance. There are far too many potholes which make the drive very hazardous.
The accommodation was a home away from home. There are a wide variety of activities to keep you occupied.

South AfricaThat there was no coffee or tea. I didn't like that our holiday was so short.
I liked that the property is so kids friendly and has activities for them. I love that we really bonded as a family by going on hike which was challenging but fun.

South AfricaThe kids missed the animals that used to be there (goats,etc). An indoor playground would be a nice addition for the rainy days, but otherwise no complaints.
The activities for the kids are great, from the pools to playgrounds, waterslides, and walks along the river. Everything we could possibly need was right there. Some upgrades have been done too since our last visit, which was nice to see. Chalets are very well equipped with everything we needed. Beds are comfy, good quality linen.

South AfricaWe loved everything. There was nothing I can complain about.
The location was amazing, mountain view was gorgeous even from our bedrooms. We could see Garden Castle as clear as day. Many activities to keep us busy all day. Restaurant had good food. Service was excellent. There was everything to like, we loved the jacuzzi. The property is massive, we did the trail to Garden Castle by bakkie, even though it was so visible from our rooms.
