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 AfricaMy first pizza was a little singed around the edges - I think food quality should always be considered, even when it's 9pm on a monday evening. The pizza was still great though :)
The sunsets from the main balcony are unforgettable. The staff seems to all be volunteers, friendly and eager to make their guests comfortable. I enjoyed meeting all the people from different places - it was so busy while I was there, with new people coming and going nearly every day. I will definitely be back here, and am happy to have made such awesome new memories.

South AfricaExtremely bumpy round on entry, my poor car! We stayed over a week and it was pretty hectic on the car. We kinda just tried to take it very slow and easy, that would be my suggestion to everyone else. Slow and steady wins the race. They don't serve lunch which was sad. Also issues with shower made it a bit miserable as well as staff not cleaning the room for the duration of our stay.. You kinda just learn to cope though cause it's so lovely up there
Amazing views, really cool staff, nice walks. So cool that its pet friendly too!! You get the most amazing sunsets, best views to wake up to in the morning as well! The staff are friendly and welcoming. Coffee Station were youake your own coffee, breakfast in the mornings, pizza in the evenings. I would highly recommend staying here!

South AfricaA bit of gravel road getting to a place. I had high expectations when they said it includes breakfast and was a bit disappointed with their breakfast ( bread,jam,peanut butter,weetbix,apples)Please do not expect our ordinary English breakfast. The basic pizza we bought was awful,maybe go for the meaty one's might be better. Otherwise the place is cool,I would go again.
The views of this place are out of this world. The hosts are nice. The accommodation is fine but not fancy,it's a farm after all. If you are adventurous I would recommend. Lovely place.

South AfricaNothing particular, for a backpackers it had everything we needed.
Our trip to the Garden route didn't turn out the way we hoped, due to all the rain our 5 day hiking trip got cancelled and we were looking around for a place to stay and came upon this nice Backpackers. It honestly exceeded our expectations! The staff were very friendly and helped us with what we needed. There is a nice communal hangout space with pool table and break area where we got to sit en socialise till late. The view is also another added bonus where we stood in awe looking out over the Wilderness beach. Big plus: breakfast included!
