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 AfricaReally fun nostalgic stay along Route 62 with an incredibly comfortable suite right alongside the Diesel&Creme restaurant (which closes at 5pm so is not noisy in the evenings). The second bed in the lounge is great for friends and the aircon was amazing in summer! Coffee and rusks provided <3

United KingdomHave stayed all over the world, and all over the UK with work, and I have to say I think this little gem of a spot takes the cake for my favourite. An absolutely delightful little cabin, it was a chilly day so being able to light the fire made it very cosy indeed. The interior was gorgeous, with clearly a lot of thought going into it. HIGHLY recommend staying here to anyone. Beautiful little town, with a lovely hill for trail running and hiking right behind the place as well which was yet another bonus for me. The quality of the bedding was exceptional as well. Cannot fault the place.

United KingdomThe only negative (which the host also mentioned) is the close proximity to the restaurant at the Diesel & Creme next door. The noise levels and lack of privacy are only an issue if you are there during the day time, as Diesel & Creme closes promptly at 17h00. SO the evenings are quiet and peaceful. They also have other rooms in town which are more secluded if that is preferred which we will try next time.
This is our 4th visit to the Karoo Moon Hotel and we were not disappointed. We love the quirkiness of the rooms, love the bathroom size and layout, the large and comfy bed and comfy lounge and living area. We had more than enough wood to burn a fire for both nights we were there. Coffee pod machine is always appreciated with the strong wifi. Walking distance to all the restaurants and pubs in town makes it a convenient stop over venue. The host (Dean) was on hand to recommend local spots for the rugby and restaurants to consider.
