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.).

United KingdomOn a cold night, the air-conditioning on warm caused a lot of condensation.
Good place for an overnight stay with all the necessary facilities. Really appreciated the heated blankets! No catering facilities, but the helpful reception staff suggested The Oval restaurant which provided us with a perfectly acceptable meal at very reasonable cost.

South AfricaThe TV did not work. The guest house did not put the generator on for the evening loadshedding (from 9pm) but did not communicate this nor tell us when loadshedding would be taking place. I think this was an oversight as it detracted from our comfort and experience. I also struggled to reach the guest house - emails were not answered.
Very neat and clean. Breakfast was ample and affordable. Would suggest adding filter coffee to the offerings. The bed was very comfortable. The room was warm during a cold patch. I liked the amenities - big bath with a seperate shower, crockery, cutlery, mini fridge and a microwave.

South AfricaThe boss stays inside the BnB but she ignore the intercoms when we arrived for check in we had to come back later.
Reception lady was so helpful, however the boss / owner is not customer centric, she didn’t greet me. The reception lady was from a doctor she was sick, she call the boss to open the gate for but the boss didn’t answer the phone we have to go and come back again. She must know that customer comes first, she will not loose anything by greeting and smile to a customer which brings money to his business.

South AfricaI mentioned the drainage and solar light for the outside. We had an elderly couple with us who needed the light ,it was not charged .It is your duty to make sure they are charged
With loadshedding make sure you have some sort of rechargeable lamps in each room ,also you need a solar light for outside area. Make people pay a deposit for the rechargeable lights to secure them in the rooms. Please make sure you drainage from showers is cleaned weekly. Otherwise I am happy to use you again in 3 months time possibly.

United KingdomThe room was a bit cold and dark, as it was at the side of the house, and it smelled strongly of cleaning materials. The smell went once we got the air con going. So, it was basically alright.
Very good value, clean, close to town, nice garden to sit in, air con, bath.

South AfricaProbably Tranquil House should promote a sense of safety for their visitors by introducing safe, reliable rides to its surroundings. Transport money could be charged when the visitor checks out. You can phone me and let's discuss this point if you like.
Tranquil House is well placed in terms of the location since it is closer to all amenities. It is great value for money because the professionalism, hospitality and cleanliness of the place not only promotes its cause but tourism in a small town called Dundee which is surrounded by a lot of history.

United KingdomThe property is a lovely old building, being the original church parsonage, set in attractive gardens. Our room was very pleasant, with really comfortable beds and good sound proofing but, sadly, needs a bit of investment in terms of finish and decor. Our host, Mariette, was a very nice lady and breakfast was excellent.
