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 AfricaNot much not to like about the place, The bed was a bit squeaky. They do have a dog, it's not the friendliest, but it's also not much of a problem, parking needs more attention, weather in PMB can be rough, would be great to have undercover parking.
The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, they made us feel at home, the place is clean, I loved the fact that the rooms had air conditioning for the hot summer days

South AfricaFurniture and beddings seriously need an upgrade. Curtains insanely loud and floral. Uncomfortable bed. Stained, old towels. No coffee station in the room. No toiletries available. Aircon blew such dusty air it gave my daughter an asthma attack. Rooms not soundproof, could hear neighbour's move around till 1am. No provisions for loadshedding - not even a candle with matches. Tiny bathroom. Breakfast served to all guests at one dining table - it was quite awkward. Overheard the hostess make a snappy remark when she didn't realize we were waiting to hand her our keys on departure.
The bnb is conveniently located close to Liberty Mall. Our room had it's own entrance with parking and remote control gate. The room was equipped with a bar fridge. Bathroom was clean despite being rather small and cramped. The host made somewhat of an effort to accommodate my vegan diet for breakfast, even though I only informed her I am vegan on arrival.

South AfricaThere is nothing to dislike, we have no complaints.
When we arrived we were welcomed by Auntie Pam who were super friendly and gave the B&B a warm loving mother atmosphere 😊 we immediately felt welcome and although the stay was very short we enjoyed the good nights rest in a clean room cantered to all our needs. We had a warm shower, mini fridge, air-conditioning plus a TV to further help relaxing us and enjoy the stay even more since it was our 1 week of being married 👰 we needed the piece full break. We were spoiled with a lovely breakfast the next morning to help kickstart our busy day ahead with a beautiful garden view. 😉 We thank you for the hospitality Auntie Pam.

South AfricaThe racial comments were just shocking, on the morning of our check out we found out that our room was the only room that didn't have hot water,I assume because we were in and out of the house the night before because my friend smokes and I guess the owner of the house didn't like that and to our surprise, we woke up with no hot water in our room and it was so cold, when we alerted the owner about this water issue we were told that maybe it was the municipality water shortage issue, but now the problem with that excuse is that other rooms didn't have this problem it was just us, we were very confused and so they brought us hot water in a bucket to bath with, she didn't even suggest that we use another bathroom to shower ,It was just so disgusting 🤢
Nothing, at breakfast when I asked if they had bacon the response was just so rude. I was told that this is not a 5 star hotel, and I was also told that they did not have bacon because Muslim people don't eat pork.

South Africathe owners have a dog on the property. when we left in the morning the dog continuously jumped on us. it was raining and the wet dog, dirtied our clothes. in addition the owner of the dog made no serious attempts to restrain the animal. In trying to fend off the animal and prevent it from jumping on me I cut my finger. This affected my work for the rest of the week. It was obvious that the owners had no respect for the guests, as she told us that she wasn’t aware that we were departing at 6:15 am. This establishment should never be used as a BnB. The owners do not any pride and respect for their business. They are best suited to run a animal shelter.
