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 AfricaNo clothes drying rack for wet beach towels, the oven did not work properly. No bbq facilities. No toilet paper had to buy cleaning service did not provide. Daily cleaning service was always late in the afternoon. The airconditioning smells like mold has set in and needs a service.
The unit was clean and tidy and the unit is spacious we were comfortable during our stay. Self catering with all the appliances you need.

AustraliaThe bathroom in our unit had mould on the ceiling and smelt really damp. After asking for it to be cleaned, they came and cleaned it as best as they could but the unit cleanliness wasn’t what I expected. Aside from this, the unit was great!

South AfricaVery small details, , but just thought it’s productive criticism to mention the ants and then there was a bit of a damp smell throughout the apartment but could see that they were already trying to help with the various damp absorbing things around the apartment. Another few small details were that there were no bin bags inside the bins,a chipped cup in the cupboard and then the paint coming off the wall in the lounge next to the TV. We unfortunately weren’t able to open the sliding door to outside, not sure if we were just being blonde or if the lock was stuck?
So lovely and very tastefully interiored, location also ideal. Really loved that we were allowed to access all pools, play areas, hotel and restaurants that Zimbali offers!

South AfricaThe rules around using the gym were not well explained which means there was quite a bit of back and forth. They also would not let my husband leave the estate on foot for a run, but could not explain why. The shower had a lot of mold on the roof which was concerning.
The location is great and an added bonus is getting to use the hotel facilities. The apartment was perfect for our little family with everything we needed

LesothoIt ea not properly cleaned, the cleaners never move things before cleaning so there are deposits of dust and spider webs in those areas. They clean only where the eyes see
