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 found the a la carte menu a little sparse, and disappointed that there was no lamb or mutton main course option.
Food was good, though the paella was a little too spicy.

United Arab EmiratesThe pool water was a little too cold, but it was an absolutely wonderful experience otherwise.
The Chalet was perfect and had everything we required. The best part was the braai station, right outside, with plenty of wood available. The surroundings were beautiful and tranquil, and we saw many zebras and other bucks walking around. The on-site restaurant had really great food and drinks. If you'd like to self cater, the kitchen is well set up. All you need is the groceries and braai meat to see you through your stay. Accessing shops once you are there is not an easy trip, as the lodge is truly in the middle of nowhere... which is wonderful.

South AfricaParking at the units was a problem. People parked where they should not, and it impacted on our view of the valley and lake. Management did rectify this matter. The unit above us was very noisy even at night, sounded like children running in the room. And the thudding noise was unbearable.
Breakfast was excellent, The nature and surrounds are beautiful, hiking and mountain biking trails was good. Our room was comfortable and very tidy and clean.

South AfricaThe generator is too noisy specially at The ManorHouse. Even when the generator works there is no electricity in The ManorHouse only noise. We were looking forward to peace and quiet but they will have to consider silencing the generator. When the generator was off - it felt like heaven.
Location was great. The service we received was excellent. The nature drive was wonderful. The meals outside watching the sunsets were outstanding. All the staff are very competent and friendly. Special thanks to Daniel and Rudi.

AustraliaOnly regret was that we only stayed one night!
The location was stunning. As you reach the point of the drive where you can see the Lodge over the rise you can tell you have picked the perfect place. Beautiful natural surrounding. Quiet. An oasis. The staff were just incredible. Special mention to Riaan and his cheeky fun super friendly attitude... and of course the drinks he designed and recommended :) The room was beautiful and so luxurious. The dinner we had in the restaurant was so delicious... as was the wine... and that view! To top it off, we took a moonlit walk late at night when the restaurant was closed and ended up sitting watching 4 zebras grazing around the watering hole! Just perfection! Highly recommended!
