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.).

United KingdomThe property has no faults
This boutique hotel is top quality in every way. We stayed in two different rooms and both were exceptional, the beds are so comfortable the rooms are huge and bathrooms just plush. What makes it even better is the little extra touches with free mini bar in the room and bar area. In the evening when your beds are turned down you get left a little treat on your pillow. The room also has a wide choice of usb and charging points. The breakfast was one of the best we had during our trip in South Africa. The location is perfect next to all the bars, restaurants and art galleries. We highly recommend this hotel. Franklin was a great host.

United KingdomDidn’t have a gym. I guess I was there to relax but always like a gym where possible. With that said they give complimentary access to a health club less than a 5 minute walk away which was well equipped and the small pool the hotel has is very nice
Stunning boutique hotel with very comfortable communal area with an honesty bar that was FOC. Breakfast was high quality although did notice a lot of waste from the fruit / bread / meat trays that are given to every table. Location is perfect for Franshoek and staff very welcoming and knowledgeable of the local and surrounding area

United KingdomA Do Not Disturb/ Please Clean sign would have been useful - staff seemed to knock at our door quite frequently which was a bit annoying. I don't think the pool was heated as advertised, but I imagine that's quite difficult with all the load shedding that is going on across the country.
Very well-located for walking along the Franschoek high street to visit the numerous restaurants and coffee shops. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and Conrad kindly helped with some recommendations for wineries to visit. The very large room was beautifully appointed with a comfortable bed and there were lovely robes provided. The big bonus was coming home each night to a tasty little treat waiting for us!

ZimbabweThere aren't enough words to describe what a little slice of heaven the Last Word is. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Conrad and his team were so welcoming and attentive to all our needs. They were helpful and informative, giving you advice on things to do but also space to explore. The attention to detail is unmatched. Small gestures such as a thoughtful dessert on your bed at the end of the day, were just some of the ways they made our stay special. The facilities are luxurious, the location is perfect for exploring Franschhoek on foot. The only negative feeling we had during our entire stay was having to leave. Would recommend 100 times over. Thank you!

United StatesEverything about The Last Word was exceptional, starting with the manager, Franklin. He was the consummate professional, dedicating himself to ensure every detail was taken care of. Fabulous very comfortable suites, with special touches - my room had a glassed in veranda next to the pool and my son’s room had a veranda that led into a small garden. Very magical! The breakfast was served in a quaint dining room, with gorgeous plates, and was excellent. We loved our stay in this wonderful gem of a hotel
