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 AfricaI arranged for a birthday cake during lunch for my hubby, but they forgot. The menu is small. The cake was old. The staff was very helpful tho and I wasn't charged for the cake.
I loved the room, it was big , the bed is so comfy and the bathroom was spacious. The aircon worked perfectly as a heater as it was quite cold. The breakfast Is amazing. The scenery is just so beautiful.

South AfricaUntruthful response to my special request /question as to whether the hotel had sufficient vegetarian and vegan options . Refer to my question sent through the system . The response said that they have many options. Yet when I spoke to the Chef there were 2 options . Thus , the email received from the hotel via your system was lies .

South AfricaSlight struggle with lock and key, after caressing the key and working out the quirks the door would unlock on first attempt.
Great breakfast, room was what was expected based on the photographs. Easy location to wedding venue that was in the area. Not a golfer, but perfect spot to play golf at the hotel or the nearby courses. Safe and secure access.

South AfricaThere were no offers to help the ladies with their luggage to their rooms, especially since their rooms were the furthest from reception. The rooms which we had booked had cold water on the first evening as the geyser was not switched on until after we enquired. The air-conditioners in a few rooms could not be used as a heater - we asked for assistance but nothing could be done as it was late in the evening. These should be looked into as the weather is getting colder. When we requested certain drinks at the restaurant, such as green tea, the waitress did not tell us that it wasn't available. We had to enquire again before she told us so. She did however offer alternatives.
I hosted a bridal shower at Selborne Golf Estate and Spa for 12 ladies - the staff were helpful, friendly and accommodated all our requests. To Jaques and Larry, thank you to you and your teams! The staff at The Terrace Restaurant prepared a delicious harvest table for us which was ordered in advance. They also prepared special vegetarian dishes for some of the ladies for dinner as I was skeptical of the buffet dinner as it was more meat inclined. All rooms booked were clean and comfortable. The spa had a couples special which a few of the ladies were able to take advantage of.

South Africai spoke to the chef about dinner as I am a vegetarian and he was very helpful as there was nothing on the menu. The first 2 nights the food was good but the 3rd night a disaster. They could really elevate this hotel a notch with small touches. The complimentary shampoo and body wash could have been in a basket with a flower not just plonked by the basin. This hotel could be exceptional but apart from being on a stunning golf course , lovely garden and pool attention to detail was lacking.
Nice room. golf course immaculate. breakfast okay but had to ask for items stated on the continental menu like cheese and jam

South AfricaDinner and breakfast staff very poorly trained. Our table was marked as reserved but no cutlery, glasses etc. We ordered wine and was brought you the table. The waitress didn’t realise we can’t drink out of the bottle. Again we asked for glasses which took 5 min. No surpervision and attention to.
Was ok. Not a lot of attention to detail. Staff very poorly trained.

On arrival I was was again asked for proof of payment,and on checkout I was again asked for proof. Very embarrassing as I was with friends. I had to email proof on arrival & and again on departure. Surely you’d staff should be more efficient to see that payment was done .
