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 aircon wasn't up to standard. Made cool but not cold enough. Probably just needs a good service or refill of gas.
Spacious room with a great bathroom, which included a spa bath, which the wife thoroughly enjoyed. Breakfast was divine.

South AfricaI would've liked a bath and a private terrace for chain-smoking me!
I could live here… This is a lush venue with exquisite gardens and birds. The room was small and didn’t have a bath, but everything was well-cleaned and well-maintained. The ever-smiling Sbu made a big effort to provide a hearty vegan breakfast and even bought soya milk just for me. Cynthia was friendly and efficient. The gardens are exquisitely maintained. I had a wonderful stay and I would return here but to a room with its own terrace that offered more privacy and had a bath.

BelgiumThe kitchen is minimal, don't expect any pots or cutlery.
I regret I arrived too late and I was able only to stay for one night. My room (I guess all the rooms ) was newly renovated in a very tasty modern way with a very good taste (at least it is for me) of materials, colours, and decoration. The bed was super comfy with heated blanket. The large bathroom with rainforest shower. Delicious breakfast! The best to come, I arrived rather late and I was welcomed so nicely. The host told me I can't go on my own with my car to Lesotho via Sani Pass. I was speechless and he saw how devastated I was. He looked at me and asked me "How can I help you?" A magical question. He called someone and I was guided to an alternative entrance.

NetherlandsCompared to other guesthouses we staid at in SA, this one is a bit overprized. Taking advantage of their location close to the Sani Pass, I guess. For this price, I expect a generator for load shedding times, so it won't affect guests. They don't have that, so you'll be without power at load shedding times. The shower was fine, but weird: there are 2 rainshower heads.... Not a fan of that in the first place, and I don’t see the point of having 2.
Very nice and quiet premisse, with a lovely garden. Everything is well maintained. The room was great, spacious and comfortable. We had a nice breakfast, good variety of the standard eggs and bacon. Location is perfect for your excursion to Lesotho. Book at Sanipassprivatetours.com and ask for David; you'll have an excellent experience with him! Besides going up the Pass, there's not much in Himeville. For dinner, they booked us a table at the Moorcroft Manor. We can recommend that as well.
