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 would like for them to put a little more emphasis on making sure their cleaners do a proper job. The cleaners are not paying attention to the little things that guests notice
The hosts were very welcoming and friendly, always willing to assist and to put the cherry on top they upgraded us just make our stay a little more comfortable. What a wonderful experience ❤️

South AfricaI would have loved a chair in my room for comfortable sitting. We were looking forward to the river cruise as advertised, but t the boat was in for service . Whilst this is understandable, we could have been made aware of this at the time of booking. The stuffed giraffe is grim - fortunately the rooms and view faced another way.
The river view is exquisite from our rooms on the first floor. We loved walking and sitting next to the river. Beds are comfortable - excellent quality mattresses and bedding. we had one dinner at Willow Banks, very tasty chicken pies.

South AfricaWe got more than we expected, so there was nothing to dislike. The Spa needs a little love, but Leandri is great.
The view is awesome. Judy upgraded us from the tents (which look great) to the main room due to the rain. Bonus for Valentines for my hubby and I - thank you Judy. Henry was amazing. Very helpful, friendly - a real gem! The sunsets were great and it was peaceful. Pool is sparkling blue. Henry ensured we always had charged emergency lights. Leandri at the spa was great. She is friendly and offers great value for money. A massage listening to the sounds of birds and the river - amazing!

South AfricaCleanliness was poor. Cigarette buds were found on the balcony. A lot of flies in the room. Aircon is underpowered for the size room. Wifi didn't work. Outside chairs, tables and braai were covered in spider webs and dirty. Bathroom needed work (shower drain partially clogged, loose fittings). Breakfast was charged extra.
Breakfast was really good. Setting and location was nice. View was pretty. Pool was nice. Staff very friendly and willing to help.

South AfricaWiFi and mobile signals were very weak throughout my 3-night stay due to a network issue. The staff were not around from time to time, especially on Christmas Day. The room was not cleaned. The breakfast was basic and was not good value for money. The bar was closed. Prior notification of unavailable services and facilities would have been helpful.
The lodge was on the riverside. It was tranquil outside or on the edge of town.
