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 AfricaI think the Lodge don't advertise themselves enough for the races that take place in Hillcrest, they should because most people are not aware of this place. They should also should offer a shuttle to these races to and from the race destination.
Breakfast was wonderful. Both the owners were hands on in the kitchen. I was running late as i had been for a race that morning and the staff kept the kitchen open until i was served with the breakfast of my choice.

South AfricaThe only thing I could think of, is that at least a bottle of water should be complimentary, especially since it was so hot.
Lovely place in a good location. It was nice that it was different from 'normal' hotels. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The accommodation was comfortable and provided everything one would need.

South AfricaThere was no dinner on offer the night we checked in. Not too much of an issue as we ordered food in from a local delivery service.
The owner was present at breakfast the following morning and we had a lovely chat. The staff were attentive and very helpful. When we checked in, one of the staff was signing off duty, however he stayed just to ensure that our check in was smooth and seamless.

United KingdomEverything barring the Wi-Fi which was a little flakey but someone was there to fix that the day we left. Only thing I would like to have had available was more fresh fruit at breakfast.
The property was a real surprise. The web adverts don’t do it justice. Very classy, beautiful gardens, excellent rooms and the staff, particularly Azi, were great.

South AfricaI struggle a lot with sinuses and it seems it was triggered during my stay due to their carpets being filled with dust which made it difficult for me to breathe. Property needs to deep clean their carpets or make sure to cater for people who have such allergies.

South AfricaThere was a function at the venue on the day we arrived and people were socialising outside which was in front of our room and was quite noisy. But they left late afternoon so we still had a quiet evening.
Our room was wonderful with everything we needed. Comfortable bed, big bathroom with a bath. The staff was very friendly and helpful with whatever we needed. Swimming pool was great and the location was also good.

South AfricaBreakfast.
The only disappointment was the breakfast that was serviced. The breakfast was way below the quality of the facilities and general stay. The bacon was terrible, the portions were very small, in fact both the breakfast that were ordered we hardly touch and left. Beside the breakfast everything else was great. We will defiantly stay again but miss breakfast.
