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.).

NetherlandsThe road to the accomodation is bumpy and uber drivers didnt want to go there. I understood this road will be fixt in the next three months so that will be solved. It gave in our case the staff (Sean in particular) to help us out a lot on that matter. It never became a problem.
How kind and helpfull everyone was. We felt like royal. The communication between staffmembers was beyind expectations. They think along and everything seems possible.

South AfricaBeautiful location, pool and scenery. I loved the pretty gardens and lots of outside seating and braai options. The apartment is very spacious. Lots of activities and space for kids to run around, it felt like home away from home. The staff are very helpful and made us feel so welcome, we would love to come back.

South Africaall facilities are well-arranged and humanistic, as I mentioned, a very quiet and private place, no one came and disturbed you and you could enjoy day and time with your family members, the crocodile garden is a unique and eye-catching place for kids.
did not make a reservation for breakfast, but the restaurants around were easy to find and people-friendly, my families did enjoy the food there, especially the BBQ ribs and the wine there, true, a nice place to go for leisure.

South AfricaWhen booking the accommodation on bookings.com, the fact that it is a croc farm is very subtly mentioned. The fact that there is a large "snake room" is not mentioned at all. While this is not a problem for me, my wife is absolutely terrified of snakes and at that late stage there was not an option to move from there to another place. We will not be returning

South AfricaWe couldn't find a tea spoon for the coffee but we were fine using a dessert spoon. Other people might like to have one.
We stayed in the studio apartment and we had a very nice private balcony that viewed over the lake and mountains. You can see the sunrise from the balcony too. The apartment was very cute and spacious. Very quick access from parking to the apartment. There is a pool too!
