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 AfricaAbsolutely nothing.
Sonvanger was absolutely brilliant! The hosts were extremely friendly but never invasive. Everything was super clean and working. Even loadshedding was no problem. The space was more than adequate for our family of four. We really had a wonderful time.

South AfricaThe fact that we were not able to stay longer!
Sonvanger is the most amazing home away from home. Sandra’s attention to detail is top class. From the coffee, cappuccino, rusks and fruit provided to the milk, bottled water and even ice in the fridge, there was nothing more we could have wanted. The apartment is very clean and comfortable and the alternative power, for lighting during Loadshedding, is a big plus! The 2 plate gas stove was also a life saver during Loadshedding. The place was warm and cozy, even in the chilly winter weather! Thanks Sandra for a great experience!

South AfricaThe flat is well equipped with all that we needed for our 3 day stay at the property. The host was very friendly and helpful with information relating to the area and specific requests we had. Lots of extra effort from the host to make you feel at home.

South AfricaI already mentioned in the visitors book - a long mirror in one of the bedrooms to view your 'head to toe' look was the only thing I missed.
Location was good and central for our purposes of attending a wedding in the area - mainly to shower, change and sleep, Country setting and views would always be preferable, but not necessary for our stay. All the thoughtful extras were amazing - chocs, bananas, cappucinas, tea, coffee, hot choc, ice, milk, etc., etc., Wow!!
