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.).

SwitzerlandThe pool in our villa was much smaller than the others.
We were a groupe a four and stayed in one of the villas. The villas are spacious, incredibly well decorated, extremely comfortable and offer beautiful views.

South AfricaI don't really want to mention this as the manager resolved the issue by moving us to another room, but I don't have anything else to fault. There was a slight pump noise coming from outside which we complained about but we were swiftly moved to another room which was a perfect solution.
The property is perfectly located against the picturesque mountains of Spanish Farms. It enjoys great views over Somerset West and as far as Gordons Bay. Rooms were well designed an decorated with all the necessary facilities. very comfortable and clean.

We stayed in this great accommodation for two nights and more than enjoyed it! The location is in the middle of a villa neighborhood with breathtaking views of the sea. The staff is super friendly, everything is clean and the breakfast was lovingly prepared and very tasty. There are some very good restaurants nearby. We have nothing to complain about and would love to come back. 10/10

South Africathe guest house rooms are not that private - we travelled with a 10 week old baby so would have been good to know that our rooms were in a house with 2 rooms next door. Felt very tight with the baby in a small room.

United StatesSuch an incredible property! So much attention to detail, including all the amazing amenities. Delicious breakfast, gym, sauna, pool, spectacular views, comfy bed. Love the good smells everywhere! Property is grown over with jasmine so the smells permeate your room if you leave the window open. No detail is spared. Very thoughtful design and incredibly friendly staff. Very small and intimate property. Felt like I had the whole place to myself. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

South AfricaPlease add the load shedding area name in the room so we can add on our apps and be informed.
Omg!!! Heated towel rack 😁. The views are spectacular. You feel like you're away in the mountains but really conveniently close to shops and even Strand Beach. Inverter during load shedding! Hot chocolate available in the room (coffee and tea as usual but yay hot chocolate!!) Unfortunately, the weather didn't allow us to fully enjoy the pool. Didn't get to use the Sauna but love that it's there!

South AfricaThe internet was extremely slow. The bed were uncomfortably soft.
The apartment is fitted with all the equipment required for a self catering stay. The kitchens utensils are are from the best brands available. The furniture is stylish and comfortable. The estate borders a wildlife reserve and the quiet and privacy guarantees a restful stay. The hot tub on the open deck was especially nice.
