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 AfricaThe only thing I did not like had nothing to do with the host or the cottage. Unfortunately, the road leading in and out of this fantastic little town are not maintained by the government and the potholes are plentiful. BUT staying at this place makes up for the odd 30km bad road to travel there from the highway.
Carin, the host kept in contact via Whattsapp as we were on a road trip. When we arrived she welcomed us personally to the most awesome little cottage (that has been declared a heritage site). She took us through the cottage, gave tips where to eat. I will most definitely stay here again!

South AfricaWe loved absolutely everything!
What a wonder gem in the heart of the Karoo. Perfect overnight spot if you are willing to try an alternative route than N1, but absolutely worth staying a few days longer if you need a tranquil break away from the rat race. Charming, elegant and well equipped, Hoekhuis is perfect for a group up to 8 people. Nagmaal huis more cosy for up to 4 people. Everything you need to self-cater, but superb dinner also served at Emily’s!

South AfricaEverything was excellent. The road linking Colesberg and Trompsberg to Philippolis (the R717) is a bit pot holed in places. You need to drive carefully but that's true of most rural roads outside W Cape.
I didn't stay for breakfast. I had supper the night of my arrival and its was good, considering I arrived much later than intended

Carin who looks after the property was just amazing. she must us feel welcome from just the first smile of her hello. the house we stayed in was absolutely gorgeous with amazing decor and art. Everything you need for a winter stay in the Karoo, from fire places to keep warm, to a cosey reading room to snuggle up in front of a fire, and very comfortable beds.

South AfricaThe property was nice and spacious. The bathrooms are lovely and new and they even had earbuds and make-up wipes. The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher (and dishwasher powder), a beautiful tea and coffee station complete with sugar and fresh milk in the fridge. There is a lovely sun room complete with wood fire. The place was very easy to find, just off the main road. The host was amazing, nothing seemed too much effort. Would definitely rush back!
