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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United KingdomI was really cold here, even with the electric blanket turned on (only one side of the bed seemed to work - unless I just hadn't found the socket for where the blanket on the left side of the bed was plugged in). I know it was the end of winter, but I didn't expect my accommodation to be that cold. Maybe a central heating system isn't common in South Africa?
Very friendly host, in what feels like a safe residential neighbourhood. Cute additions like a chocolate on the pillow, a jar of biscuits with the tea and coffee facilities, and fairylights. There was an electric blanket, which was very much needed!

South AfricaNothing, had everything I required for my stay.
Great location in central Stellenbosch with secure off-street parking. Close to access roads and shopping center. Very friendly and accommodating host. Fridge, kettle, milk and rusks provided, even if the breakfast option was not taken, which was a very nice touch. Perfect for short stay for work purposes.

Provisions made for cold weather were highly appreciated. Tea counter was also beautifully set and sufficiently stocked up.

United KingdomThe guest house was a little further than we thought to walk into the town but we managed to walk there & get an Uber back which was very reasonable.
We had breakfast in the garden & Liza-Mari cooked a very nice breakfast for us & there was also a selection of continental items. Liza-Mari recommended an excellent restaurant & made a reservation for us & also assisted in planning a route to visit wineries & the airport. Room was a very good size, very clean with cooking facilities, desk & sitting area & very homely & relaxing. There was also a patio outside the room with table & chairs. We were able to park securely inside the gates of the property.

NetherlandsIn the description at the Bookingsite airconditioning in the rented unit was listed, but there is none. During our stay it was quite hot and there is a ventilator, but unfortunately the load shedding was during the nights, so it were some sweaty nights ;)
The atmosphere of this B&B was great! It had a homely feel to it. We were in one of the smaller rooms, but it also had a small terras, part of the communal guarden. The hostess makes you feel very welcome! Secure parking, close to the city center (but by night we did use the car to go in town), breakfast included.
