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 KingdomIt's partly my fault. I booked this hotel to stay in for one night, and then decided to extend my stay to two nights, however for the second night it transpires that I booked a different room. The room for the second night was more expensive, so money wasn't a factor, it was just what was available, but it meant we were going to have to check out in the middle of our stay and wait to be moved to a different room. When you're only there for 2 nights thats really impactful on your time. In the past any hotel I stayed in would have spotted it in advance and moved things around so that you were staying in one room for the two nights. I would have been very happy to stay in the cheaper room and let someone else have the better room that we paid for if it meant we didn't have to switch rooms. The hotel said this wouldn't be possible. I suspect with a bit of forward planning and reorganisation it would have been possible given the number of rooms on site, but hard to say and that may be unfair. This did disrupt our stay but the hotel staff did their best to make the change as seamless as possible. Final thing - be warned both restaurants are not open every night, so if you're going specifically for one of the restaurants you should check in advance their opening hours
Absolutely beautiful. Great food on site. Stunning accommodation. Lovely friendly staff. Very special

GermanyThe mattrass to me felt a bit lumpy, as I prefer a firmer mattrass. It also felt on a slight slant - like I might roll/ fall out of bed if I lay too close to the edge.
The location with a view of the mountains was superb. The gardens were a treat to explore. The staff were attentive and extremely helpful. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of options to choose from to cater to anyone's preferences. Terrace dining with a view of the gardens felt like a luxurious decadence. Food in general was excellent. The room was a good size, with sliding door that opened onto a most magnificent view, and allowed plenty of fresh air in. The gym was well equipped, and again with a magnificent view of the gardens. Wifi was seamless. Highly recommend staying at The Vineyard. I will certainly return.

United KingdomHaving stayed before, we didn’t think the restaurant staff were up to previous standards, but this is a minor issue. We would have given everything a score of 10 if not for this.
Fabulous position with exceptional gardens yet within walking distant to shops and restaurants and short drives to the beautiful surrounding area and Capetown. Family run with a lovely family atmosphere.

United KingdomPaying the bill!! But it was worth it.
Beautiful gardens. Even our internal bedroom overlooked a pond and lush vegetation. Lovely setting with the mountain backdrop. Good quality furniture, fittings, facilities, etc. Classy but friendly. Nice food. Happy memories of friend’s wedding and other visits. Love the big, old mountain tortoises wandering about!

RussiaSPA. Can they keep some slots for the hotel guests ? You can’t book the spa 2 weeks before you book the hotel. The path from the main building to the spa lies through the restaurant. It is not convenient to come there in a robe.
Every time we have some small issues there, but we are coming and coming back. It’s so cozy, green, well located and many kind people are working there.
