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 Africa1. The rooms were untidy. First night there were bugs everywhere. We thought it's because of the thatch roof so we okayed it. I even found a millipede on my pillow. It's wild so we were ok with that. But in the morning we saw all the dust under our beds and crumbs. The water in the kettle even had mold growing inside. 2. We went to dinner. The food was horrible. Our daughter loves pasta but she couldn't even stomach the spaghetti Bolognese. I had ribs and fries. The fries smelled like old oil. My husband's dish was fish and veggies. That was edible if you like boiled fish. In the morning we hoped for better breakfast but it was actually worse. The omelette was burnt...all 3. Nothing was edible. The coffee was ok and the fruit. Luckily they have a great host in Alina. She's the only one who was kind and helpful. 3. On day 2 while relaxing by the pool. A group of kids and their parents arrived for a party. Turns out the place accepts day visitors which can be 10-20 people at a time inside the pool. So you must be in great spirits to mingle. 4. They had a big group check in late in the afternoon. That group decided to have a party or chill session all night till 5am. When we called reception no one picked up. We texted to complain and they only responded in the morning to say they are a hotel and they can't control how their guests have fun. 5. In the morning we asked the manager why don't they have an emergency line or can't deal with unruly guests. We were told we were being rude for complaining. The manager (female )was actually calm and tried to explain the way they run the place. The chef (male), walked in while my husband was talking to the manager and he started shouting at us and told us it's "his place" and we can't talk like that. We were merely talking to the manager and he started shouting at my husband and then words were exchanged. We left the place with a very bitter taste in our mouths.
Location. The Lodge is at Guernsey and it's a great location.

United KingdomTommy and team only took over a year ago and are in the process of revamping the whole site. They have an eye for detail and are refurbishing to a high standard, but not all the rooms are finished yet! However, that's only a matter of time. Although we had a room that wasn't yet refurbished, it was still clean, comfortable and great value for money.
Set in a stunning location just outside the Greater Kruger Park, there are two viewing decks from which to watch game (we saw elephants, kudu, impala and warthog during our stay). Tommy, Andrea, Jan and their team were lovely and super welcoming. The pool area and surrounds are beautiful and were just what we were looking for, somewhere to relax with a book after a long safari in the Kruger. Lovely bar and a la carte restaurant.

South Africadidn’t get the rooms we boomed and paid for- even though I booked almost 10 months in advance. something about a double booking but there was no communication at all from the owner or booking.com. door locks on toilet and room door were fitted the wrong way round and wind kept blowing them open. i changed the locking mechanism myself. lunch order was a bit of a fiasco even though the food was okay - waiter was totally clueless and had clearly had no training at all. got the feeling the place was under relatively new ownership or management and it needs some work for it to reach its potential
