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.).

SingaporeThe location was beautiful being in vineyards. Close to one of South Africa’s most famous vineyard. The animals and people were so welcoming when we arrived and we felt like we were at home. We didn’t want to leave. The dogs made friends with us and it was just a beautiful stay. We have booked to come back in a months time. Being able to braii and use the amenities was just beautiful added touch.

The Log Cabin Lodge is an amazing little gem in Stellenbosch! Everything was absolutely perfect - location is great, views are breath-taking, property is super nicely done, rooms are spacious and have absolutely everything you might need and more! Breakfast was awesome as well! Staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the co-owner Helene answered all my questions before we came. There is nothing I can fault and I am looking forward to returning and staying longer next time!

United KingdomThe location was so tranquil and the view was amazing. The staff were incredible kind and helpful with a delicious breakfast. The lodge style with a communal seating area was lovely and great to meet other people but could also relax in private if you wished. The Louis Vale vineyard 5 minute walk away was great and would recommend visiting

United KingdomPerhaps more done in options due to the distance to restaurants. Otherwise loved it.
Loved the accommodation, the location, the big shared balcony and the ‘lodge-style’ central room with fireplaces etc. Having the cats and dogs around was so relaxing and being able to watch the crazy guinea fowl running around was hilarious. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were wonderful. Great value and would love to return. The quality of the wine tasting was amazing and Muhammad and Simon were an absolutely pleasure.

Everything was amazing! This lodge is really one of the best places we've stayed! Location is great, you are surrounded by pure nature, at night you enjoy all the wonderful sounds, stars and fresh air. You will sleep like a baby! If you want to go to the restaurant - here you are, 10 minutes walking there is a cozy place with local sparking wine. The view is breathtaking. Wine yards, mountains... So peaceful and stunning! We stayed in Barrel room. It was really unique. Every room has a theme (we saw couple of them, which were free) and it's quite interesting. Also the wooden furniture is awesome! Really, we even asked where to buy those tables or vases. Living room of this hotel with fireplace is so cozy, full of smell of wood and equiped with everything you need for good rest in a countryside. Even a guitar) Staff. Here I must mention Frank, the great guy who welcomed us there and did everything he could to make our staying comfortable. He was so friendly, nice and polite, always ready to assist us in any possible way! Thank you so much! There is also a small golf field and pool (or hot tub, not sure) in this lodge. My husband was excited about two guys, Roxy and Simba, running around. Goooood doggos! I'm afraid of dogs, but these ones befriended me so fast)
