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 AfricaTuraco chalet is lovely, comfortable, well equipped and clean. The wood-fired hot-tub worked like a dream, so well that it got rather warm. However, it was still warm enough to have a lovely early morning dip the next day.

South Africawe came across spiders in our chalet and when we checked under the beds it was full of dust and you could tell they had not been swept for months. maybe cleaning properly and checking under the beds for insects should be done before guests check in.
I liked that the chalets were isolated you couldn’t hear anything from other chalets, the place is so tranquil and we had anything that we needed for a self catering chalet, the staff was super friendly and were a phone call away.

South AfricaThe biggest disappointment was that even though the name says hot tubs not all accommodation has hot tubs. Ours didn’t. The online booking can be amended to make that clearer. We were very disappointed about that. A small issue that can easily be fixed was that on arrival the intercom at the gate did not seem to be working even though there was no load shedding, we had to phone to be let in
Great birding, beautiful grounds, chalets are well appointed and the staff were very helpful and efficient. In spite of being disappointed by the lack of a hot tub we enjoyed our stay overall.

South AfricaThe braai spot at our chalet (Heron) was at the bottom between some bushes. It is cute, but we didn’t end up using it because it was a bit claustrophobic. It just didn’t feel as secluded and didn’t have the view the chalet had. But it is still cute. On the booking it would be nice if it said which chalet you are staying in and if it has a hot tub. I took the cheapest option (so I wasn’t expecting a hot tub), but I think that should be more clear when you book.
Beautiful views. Access to a pool, a short hiking trail, a dam that you can swim in (you can also request ores to row around a bit, and fishing gear, all free). There is a nice viewing deck (ask how to get to it at reception). Our chalet was stunning and private. Hearing the birds every morning is awesome. There is also a really nice tub. The kitchen has a nice oven/microwave and a two plate stove. It has everything one might need (even a bread tin and cupcake pans if you feel like baking). It has a real forest cabin feel to it overall and we had a great time.

The location is beautiful, with fantastic facilities. Very easy to reach, and staff were willing to accommodation our (many) requests. The wood fire hot tub is also great. Also extremely clean - considering it was directly in the middle of nature I was surprised to see no bugs at all.
