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.).

NetherlandsThe location in kempton park might not be for everyone. It is however conveniently close to the airport.
Alfred provided top notch hospitality and went out of his way to help us out with all sorts of things. The bed was extremely comfy, we had a hard time getting out of bed in the morning.

Safe location, excellent staff - nothing was too much trouble for Alfred. Large room and a comfortable bed. Nice garden and swimming pool, safe parking. Excellent breakfast and we were able to order food in for dinner. This was our first time in South Africa and we really appreciated the level of service and help we got from Alfred.

BotswanaThis is not the fault of the property, but if you can't stand airport noise, then this is probably not a good choice for you. It is close to OR Tambo and you will hear a lot of planes overhead.
We have stayed at this property several times. It's a great place to stay for picking up and dropping off visitors at OR Tambo. We like the unique nature of the decor and the grounds. The staff were very helpful and attentive, even offering us better rooms so we didn't have to negotiate stairs with our dogs. Oh, yes. It's pet friendly!

United KingdomSpecial place with unique decor. Every room is different. I love the way roof done and all areas surrounding the manor. Everything is looked after. We have been looking after by Alfi, who was amazing! It was nothing too much to ask, very polite and humble person. Thank you for marking our 1st stay in South Africa special. I heard that they serve an amazing lunch on Sundays, so if you are there on the day worth to try. Unfortunately we have missed it. (We stay in room called Dany)

United StatesLoved everything.
Beautiful and safe room, home and grounds. All areas were extremely clean. Ryan was an exceptional host and took very good care of us. The breakfasts were exceptional- fresh and tasty. It is wonderful to sit in the gardens or the sunroom and just enjoy the surroundings. If you are planning a stopover and need a place close to the airport- this is ideal. But plan on more than one night. You’ll love it.

ItalyObviously being to close to the airport does entail hearing many airplanes passing by. However, having chosen it for the exact purpose of being close, we personally didn't mind.
The Manor is very characteristic and well-decorated and surrounded by tranquillity, giving it a cozy feeling of home. Ryan was extremely kind and helpful and has catered to every of our needs.

We stayed one night between two flights. Beautiful and spacious property, super nice staff which assisted us with transport from the airport and back to the airport the next day. The Light breakfast which included muesli with fresh fruits and coffee was great. We couldn’t ask for a better welcome in South Africa.
