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 AfricaThe location, view and farm atmosphere are what draw us. The very friendly reception by the owners is what makes us feel welcomed when staying in Vredelus. We will definitely be back to stay longer!

RussiaNeeded to leave the place and to contact support. The owner didn't answer for an hour after we came and also an our after we got the keys. WiFi pass was not provided - we needed to wait, no soap, no shampoo, no NOTHING! The apartment is NOT maintained well, so it's cold during the winter season, extremely cold. No heater at all. No TV though it was on the list. Looks like the owner wants to get passive income and doesn't really care about customers. Just to answer the message from the owner below. 1. Hot water was not on the list, you're right, does that mean we don't need it? 2. It was last minute booking, you're right. I understand and I was patient while waiting. Does that mean that the person you send can know nothing about the place? Neither hot water nor wifi? 3.WiFi worked, you're right. But after I asked the one who showed the apartment for the password, he told me to talk to the owner. After I texted the owner it took her 1 hour to respond (especially when you told me that you're free to call whenever you need anything). Does that mean that to host people mean just to give the keys? 4. Soap was not on the list, you're right. Does that mean that simple things for the bathroom are a must for hospitability? 5. As for TV, it doesn't matter at all. But I checked it was on the list before, just to mention. 6. As for the heaters and extra blankets you blame last-minute booking. If you live in Mossels Bay which is way too far, how do you manage it even for early birds? Do you drive and bring them? It was NOT provided, no one is to blame except the owner. Particularly, when you know that the weather is bad and you have loadsheddings during night time. 7. I traveled half of the world but what it has to do about this particular mismanagement? So, in a nutshell, the place is beautiful and good but unfortunatelly mismanaged. I hope you'll improve it, thank you.
