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.).

FinlandThe only flaw was the wifi, which is only functional at the main building and the internet connection wouldn’t be enough for a business stay. Just have to focus on the location and wildlife and tell everyone about it later!
The location is fantastic, with marked walking routes on which you can get to know the local wildlife: giraffes, zebras, various deer… the list goes on! And if that’s not enough, there are elephant and lion parks within an hours drive. The staff are very friendly and helpful, whether your schedule is changing or if you need advice on where to go and how.

South AfricaWe liked everything
The managers and host made us feel very welcome. Beautiful view from the deck. Swimming pool. Nice hiking trail where we walked a few meters from the giraffes and could take close up photos. Giraffes can be viewed from a short distance. The bed was comfortable. Coffee and tea making facilities in the room. The breakfast was delicious and is included in the price.

United KingdomValley Bushveld Country Lodge is simply wonderful. Nothing can beat waking up to the sight of the giraffes, as they wandered up the hillside opposite the lodge to catch the morning sun. It was also such a fun experience to explore on foot, following the network of paths around the reserve, giving excellent views of all the game and bird life. Although I visited the area specifically to go to Addo National Park (which surpassed all expectations), some days I never left the lodge. Breakfast was excellent. But definitely take the opportunity to have dinner too - delicious home-cooked food, made with culinary flair! The room was perfect and the team were so welcoming and helpful. I booked for 4 nights, but then extended to 6!

South AfricaI wish I had known about the bees around the pool because that's why I chose this place. The staff had a strange energy when we were there. It felt awkward and cold. I'm glad that we only stayed one night.
The rooms were clean and very comfortable.

South AfricaParking to far from the rooms, and had to walk thru dining area with all luggage to get to room. Would have liked a bigger table in room to use laptop on, since we had road planning do. Hair drier handle sticky. Would have liked a fridge in room, since we still had food/meat to travel with.
Breakfast was good, Nice scenery.

AustriaWe had the feeling, that the host wanted us to leave as early als possible and told us, that we would drive much longer to our next destination than we actually did. We had the plan to check out the area and watch the animals on the farm, but because of the strange behaviour of our host, we left early. Also, we had the feeling, that they were angry, that we didn‘t want dinner. It was also annoying, that we heard every flush of every toilet in the house and that we could listen to the conversations of the other guests and couldn‘t sleep.
It was nice, that the electricity was working during load shedding. Also the wild animals, especially the giraffes, were amazing. The breakfast was good and the room was clean.

South AfricaThe booking/emails/w. Upp and general tone of the conversations were not very consumer friendly. Emails took a while before answered. When the w. Upp was used after all the load shedding at 7pm at night and emails not being answered." We are closed now," was the response. And arriving 15 min early I was repremanded. It could have been handled more professional.
The room was very well equipped and spacious and modern. Food was well presented and yummy.
