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 AfricaWe loved our stay! It is an incredible view over the Midlands, quiet and remote. Darryl the host was so lovely, communicated well and was so accommodating towards us. The place was very well equipped with everything you need from an air fryer, to treats, iron, bialetti coffee pot, electric blanket etc. So much more than we expected. Thank you so much!

South AfricaI didn't dislike it, but it is good to be aware that the bedrooms are all open plan, there are no doors or curtains between the bedrooms. Ideal for a family, but friends need to be aware.
The view, it's privacy. Our hosts practical attention and responsiveness.

South AfricaI didn't like the off road route that start shortly after off ramping, the place requires a person to visit driving a 4x4 car. The quality of the road pissed me off since I drive a low car, go there driving a high suspension car.
I liked the warm welcoming personality of the owner and her place is peaceful, clean and tidy.

Unable to comment on my weekend stay.... The host was wonderful from the short time I met her... however I did not see the fine print that we required a 4 x 4 vehicle to access the property and was unable to continue my stay for the weekend sadly. I have a very low rise vehicle which hardly made it up the dirt road driveway... I wish bookings.com made the note higher up for us to see (or I would have never booked this property) it's a lovely property, hosts are great and place was clean on arrival.. but you need a high rise 4 x 4 vehicle to gain access ! we cannot comment further as we could not stay there - we had to find alternative accommodation for the weekend as I was not prepared to get stuck driving in and out for the weekend.. or damage my vehicle.
