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 outside furniture could be more comfortable. The pool was not available when we arrived as it was being re-painted, but this was complete the next day.
Farm house was nicely located and had a nice swimming pool which was a re-done reservoir. The beds were comfortable and the host very accomodating to requests.

South AfricaNot something serious, but we were traveling with a lot of food and would have liked a bigger fridge and freezer. It didn`t spoil anything about our stay though.
We were welcomed in an amicable manner and immediately shown around the facilities. The girl (Lucia) made us feel at home and reminded us that she was just a call away if we needed anything. The facilities were just what we wanted - the feel and ambiance of a typical Karoo farmhouse. The room was spacious and clean and contained everything we needed for our night`s stay. We had a lovely braai in the peace and quiet of the Karoo.

South AfricaTim was great with communication sending us info, directions and pin drops before our arrival. We were greeted by the friendly house keeper Martin and the farm cat (whom my boys named Tom). Martin showed us around and actually changed our rooms around so the children could be in a room next to us. Most lights stayed on during loadshedding which was a great. The kitchen had all we needed (& more). Overall it was a great one night stop over. The biggest extra /bonus was the exceptionally friendly and loving farm cat whom if my boys had been given half the chance would have brought him back home with us.

South AfricaUsing a room with a private bathroom in a huge house with other rooms filled with other guests, albeit all very well-mannered, friendly and neat, cleaning up after themselves, was a first for us. Preparing supper was great, meeting some of the other guests, having a lovely chat, sharing travelling experiences, was pleasant. However, we went without a late night cup of tea, not wanting to disturb other travellers' sleep. The house is antique and the passage floor squeeks a bit. Our two small doggies, well socialised and normally very friendly and playful didn't get along with the other guests' dogs as they were tired and irritated. Once rested, the situation improved but was still a bit stressful. Other guests' children were scared of dogs. Our dogs badly needed a free run. That had to wait until all the children and dogs were inside tjeir own rooms. At last our doggies got their much needed free run. All went better after a night's rest. We are not used to such a setup, but looking back, without the dogs and their free running needs and peculiar tempers when tired, it would have been a very pleasant experience. We might do that again in future, just for fun.
The property is truly pet friendly with a good fence all around a huge yard with a great lawn for the dogs to play on. The fence will keep even very small dogs safely inside the yard. Even the gate is secure once it is closed. The property is well kept. The linen and towels are perfectly clean and brightly white. The friendliest, most efficient, warmly welcoming host we have met in years received us. Hospitality galore. We truly felt welcome. Like visiting grandma. There was enough clean hot water for all, our bathroom was spacious and the room had enough space. There is airconditioning to cool the room. During the night no airconditioning was needed. The night was comfortably cool with windows that can open and mosquito frames that can be closed. The kitchen and dining room are well stocked with enough of everything needed for all guests. It is an establishment well run and well organised.
