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.).

The breakfast was superb, a choice of cereals and fresh fruit with yogurts, selection of cold meats and cheese and fresh pastries and bread, followed by a freshly well cooked and presented hot breakfast. We had to be out by 8am one morning for a trip and they prepared an early breakfast for us that was the same as normal. The ground floor room was large and gave out to a delightful shaded garden, the bathroom with all the normal amenities was massive with large shower and bath. The hosts were attentive and had information to hand. The public rooms on the 1st Floor opened onto balconies that gave lovely views over the lagoon. A nice walk along the lagoon into Wilderness of 1km led to numerous places to eat and the other way to several walks into the park. Parking was off road and ample.

United StatesNothing. This is a 5+ star gem!
Wilderness Manor is a 5+ star B+B. Gerald and JD are truly amazing hosts. The property has been remodeled and the en-suite rooms are huge with elevated views of the intercoastal lagoon. The interior has been immaculately decorated and offers 2 large lounges for relaxing whilst enjoying the expansive views. The breakfast was simply amazing with a combination buffet style and a la carte full English breakfast cooked to your personal choice. When traveling to the George/Wilderness area, this is definitely the place to stay. It is located in Wilderness only 20 mins from George.

Excellent service from the hosts who helped us with advice on excursions and updates on available routes (there had been heavy rain falls so some routes were closed).

IsraelThe easiest 10/10 we ranked in booking! Gerald and JD are by far the most amazing hosts we encountered. They take care of every single aspect of hospitality. You feel spoiled. The breakfast is very good and served with a lot of love. Advices and tips regarding where to go and what to see are given in depth and details. The house itself is simply magnificent, the room is beautiful, big, and the bathroom is modern and top notch. Also- probably the cleanest place I’ve ever been to.

Right from the Manor, to our room, Location, breakfast and especially our amazing hosts JD and Gerald everything was just excellent. The room which we had booked was not only very comfortable but also luxuriously designed and decorated. Bathroom was huge and very modern. Breakfast was great as well. I could go on and on reviewing our pleasant stay but would just mention that wilderness is the place to be in South Africa and Wilderness manor is absolutely a must place to stay in. Our hosts JD and Gerald were very friendly and welcoming and made our stay extra memorable. The information which was given by Gerald on places to visit was very helpful and JD's advise about the places to have lunch/dinner was indeed great. Thank you JD and Gerald for the memorable experience.

South AfricaFrom the moment we arrived till the moment we left we had the most caring and attentive service from hosts Gerald and JD. They both go out of their way to ensure their guests are as comfortable as possible and make the most of their stay with suggestions of restaurants and activities in surrounds. I loved the luxuriousness of the bedroom , the beautiful lounge with stunning views and delicious breakfast served so graciously by Gerald and JD. We were in the garden suite with pretty tranquil private garden - food for the soul. Also loved the location of the property- a sense of quiet yet walking distance to Wilderness hub. Look forward to being able to return.
