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.).

GermanyThere's nothing to complain about.
We just plain love it there! Relaxing and calm place with a stunning view. There's nothing better than just sitting on the terrace and looking at the mountains. Beautiful people and nice pizza. We will come back.

United KingdomWe booked the accommodation in March 2023. We requested a room overlooking the dam and received confirmation that this would be the case. However, on arrival we were shown to a side room with no dam view. When we pointed this out, we were eventually offered a room with a view for the first three nights but told we’d have to move back to the side for the final night. It was only when we showed them proof of their agreement in writing that we were moved to a room with a dam view for the whole stay. While we received an apology from the lady managing our check in, she clearly didn’t have the authority to make decisions herself. The process therefore took several hours while she consulted her boss. in the end, we noticed two of the five dam facing rooms were vacant for our entire stay so all the fuss was unnecessary. Very disappointing.
The view overlooking the dam was magnificent. The complementary wine tasting was good fun and led by a lovely, friendly and knowledgeable lady. It was super having the independently owned pizzeria on site where you could get takeaways to eat on our terrace.

United KingdomThe seating area outside Shiraz could do with a step to get down on to the grass as it very high without one.
Under Oaks is a lovely place to stay. The complementary fizz was a lovely touch. We were in Shiraz overlooking the dam and the mountain view was to our right but we could see lots of them. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. There was load shedding but no issues using things other than the kettle and hairdryer. The breakfast was good and varied. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pizzeria is very good and great value. Welk worth going to. Not open every day though. We would recommend staying here.

CanadaI can't think of anything that needed improvement. The staff at the winery were very helpful and friendly, the location was peaceful and I could see that it was a local favourite. The wines were excellent too!
The breakfast was excellent. Everything was fresh and the selection was stellar. The staff were attentive and the cooked entree was very good. It was tempting to eat more than one should. Also the cats made the property so much more comfortable. I could see they were treated well.

United KingdomThe location of the accommodation is beautiful. There is a pizzeria near the farmhouse, which is a good restaurant but if you want finer dining you have to drive into Paarl.
Breakfast was excellent, good choice of food. Had to walk or drive through the beautiful vineyard to the old picturesque farmhouse. Beautiful views of the area.
