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 AfricaThe bucket shower is very cool to look at but not to use as the drain was clogging and the hot water wasn’t working properly as it went hot/cold.
Easy efficient communication with Colette via WhatsApp. Beautiful location. Loved the little handmade wooden signs guiding us along the route to the guest house, because we arrived at night and it was dark so the signs helped a lot. Our dinner was ready and waiting for us, so lovely.

United KingdomThere’s a 800m mud road to the property which was a bit scary in our little Toyota after hard rains, but once safely back on tarmac the mud road added to the adventure rather than detracting.
Fantastic set up with a lovely clean room with en suite, shared outdoor deck, lounge, dining and full kitchen facilities. Generous host kindly provided milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. the location is stunning with views of the working sheep and cattle farm, gardens, forest and Scottish-looking glen with waterfall in the distance. absolutely magical breakfast with fresh eggs, milk, and homemade jams.

Location of the B&B is excellent for hideout and relax. Very friendly and helpful hosts. We came vary late and it was no problem with that. No prepayments required ,just booking. The B&B is located in the mountains and surrounded by forests. There is water fall and the creak nearby. Good stop over on the road to Kruger park if you travel from KZN.

We changed our plans last minute, so we made our booking an hour before our arrival. Luckily, it was no problem for Colette and Gerhard. We felt very welcome and it was the best decision. After a few minutes, they make you feel like home. We loved our stay at Rocks and Roses! The hosts, Colette and Gerhard, are the most lovely people we've met during our trip in South Africa. We loved having a good and fresh meal in their living room with a good conversation. In the morning, after a really nice breakfast, Gerhard showed us the farm. He asked us to help feeding the calves, which was very nice! The room was nice and clean. We can really recommend this place. You will never forget it!
