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 AfricaThe website was not updated and quite misleading. Under "Ameneties & Activities", it claims to have an indoor spa pool, steam and sauna and massages as well as Bass fishing on the lake. The hotel seems to be non-functional. Not sure if any of the above could have been arranged if requested through the owner. We were unfortunately disappointed when we were told by independent owners living there, that there is hardly any bass in the lake. Apparently this was due to something that went wrong with the water a few years ago. We purposely went there for the fishing of Bass, and therefore I felt it necessary to mention in this review. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant stay.
The room and bed was great and comfortable. Clean and tidy.

South AfricaThe entire set up. The Advertisement on the web site is misleading...it shows you will have a lake/river view, swimming pools infront/or close to your stoop or balcony...none what so ever...you at the back of a huge old hotel building and no staff if you need anything. No lights for load shedding....
I Liked the communal swimming pools, however it is close to/infront of private residence houses. far away from your rooms. This were not disclosed on the website. The web site is MISLEADING. NO WIFI, but website state differently etc...just 1 example, parking is far, no kitchen, no mob, no broom, no braai facility, your view is the back of a huge hotel/building, you feel as if you in a servants quarter...no microwave or fridge...etc. etc.

South AfricaThe shower was a bit of an inconvenience as the water streams rushing out of the shower head fell really hard on the skin, there was no way of adjusting the shower head, it was a bit unclear whether or not we could make use of the pool facilities until we decided to contact the owner, we walked around the hotel area for a good 20 minutes to find the indoor pool. All doors were locked. No staff to guide us. We eventually walked into some residents and they informed us the indoor pool has not been in use for 5years.
I liked that we were in such a quiet environment.

South AfricaWe had a really great stay at Traders. Loved the charm of this hotel. Does not give you the routine chain hotel vibe at all.The environment was pleasant and welcoming. Both check-in and check-out were professionally handled and easy. The room was clean, very comfortable, and Steve was amazing. He went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. It’s in a really great location, easy to get in and out the town to visit other top spots on the Garden Route. While we did not get there in time to eat at restaurant, we have heard amazing reviews on the restaurants Sunday lunch.
