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.).

The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Letitia went out of her way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The cozy winter fire place was a nice bonus.

United StatesIt would have been better if the property had had an alternate power source during load shedding so that we could make tea in our room, and so that we could take a shower with hot water.
This is a lovely, boutique-style hotel with beautiful gardens of flowers, plants and bushes. It is very pretty. We find that the rooms are bright, modern and very comfortable. We stayed here for the first time in 2022, and wanted to come back this year because we liked it so much.

South AfricaI understand that loadshedding is a real problem in South Africa...however, the guesthouse does not have warm water during loadshedding...which is not ideal. I would also recommend more battery operated lights in the room...especially for loadshedding during the evening or night.
The breakfast was really one of the best I ever had at a guesthouse! The staff is very friendly and help with anything. The guesthouse is centrally located and you can walk to any restaurant or shop in town. Rooms are neat and has everything you need with a well stocked mini bar.

The Staff were very friendly and could not be more helpful. An asset to their employer. Always willing to answer any query. The property was very well maintained and rooms were spotless. Although the plot was not huge, the gardens were lovely with lots of sitting areas. Breakfast was a mix of buffet and cooked to order -beautifully presented and lots of choice. Property situated near the Huguenot memorial and a short walk to the main street & the wine tram/bus stop. Couldn't fault anything and would highly recommend

We had a super stay at The Corner House! Would highly recommend! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Pictures on Booking.com true to property. Great place. Breakfast was lovely with a buffet style offering plus cooked eggs and bacon. Location for Franschoek was perfect! We walked to and from restaurants without any bother or worry. Franschoek itself is a must visit. And stay at the Corner House for sure!

DenmarkThe floors in the bathroom were dirty. We had informed on late check in, but when we called from the airport to inform of our arrival the person working there informed us that she needed to leave early. This didn't make us feel very wellcome. Staff were nice, but on the second day, they only served the warm breakfast for one of the people at the table, the other breakfast never showed up.
Lovely place and the breakfast was lovely.
