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 AfricaI struggled a little with traffic noise, how can Himeville be so noisy? I am a light sleeper though.

A nice little cottage & the hosts were kind, informative and accommodating. It's well-kitted, there's even a fireplace .. we made the most of the hot tub. Great for a Drakensberg experience... We did the Pillar Hike which was incredible. Happy with my stay here.

South AfricaLoad shedding, but emergency lights are provided and the place has a fireplace and gas geyser, which makes things much better.
The cottage is nice, clean and cosy, the fireplace was my favourite. The host was great and very welcoming. The cottage has everything you need for self catering purposes.

Hong KongLiterally cannot fault this cottage - it seems every little detail was thought of.
I've never stayed in such a well thought out accommodation before! Literally couldn't think of a single thing that was lacking - and all fit into a pristinely-kept cottage. The host is so lovely as well. Very close to Sani Pass road, which is newly redone and a beautiful ride (up to the border post). We lit a lovely fire and I enjoyed a relaxing jacuzzi bath during loadshedding. Will definitely return!

South AfricaThat there was not a large full-length mirror.
The fireplace, the gass geyser, the electric blanket, and all the extras like a mirror that enlaged.

South AfricaIt’s a jewel of a place - flooded in light during the day, cosy at night: a warm bed with mattress-heater, a jacuzi, a foot-massage-bath, a wonderful shower, a nice kitchenette, the whole place is very clean. Bring lavender essential oil (for evening or night, or rosemary essential oil for the morning to spoil urself rotten) and add 1-2 drops to ur foot bath or relaxation in the jacuzi… There is a somewhat busy street but I was way too exhausted to notice, in the morning it also didn’t bother me at all. No breakfast, but I knew that, I went to ‘Lemontree’ or so which is a bit overrated…
