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 AfricaThe 20km gravel road is a challenge and should not be attempted without a utility vehicle.

South AfricaThe road to the cabin. Roadworks and it is quite far from the main road. On the other hand, it is secluded and quiet. Just not great if you have to travel every day. I missed a vegetable peeler and a grater. The plug in the main bedroom is difficult to reach to charge your phone.
The setting is quiet and beautiful. The cabins living areas are spacious and walk out on a big deck. Dishwasher. Enough cutlery and crockery to use before you need to use the dishwasher. Super clean. Would have loved to stay longer than the 2 nights we had booked. It is a little piece of heaven on earth. I have never seen separate towels for dying hair or removing makeup!! So thoughtful.

NetherlandsNothing not to like.
We loved the wonderful deck area from where one could enjoy the view down to the river. Waking up with the sounds of running water and nature was wonderful... We would wake up in the morning and open the patio doors to enjoy the sounds. Our hosts were wonderfully hospitable. They offered an earlier check in and were a great source of information. We enjoyed everything but have to mention the great beds, huge bathtub, modern and well stocked kitchen, firearea, hot tub, comfy living room sofas ect, ect, ect!

South AfricaThe location was fantastic. We always look for some tranquility after work. The sound of the river in the background, and the natural beauty were just perfect, and could not ask for more. The early morning hike was also fantastic. Gay was also most helpful and made sure we knew where everything was and how everything worked. Will most definitely stay over again when in the Hoedspruit.

South AfricaWe absolutely loved our stay at Blyde River Cabins! A little cabin tucked into the woods right next to the river with wildlife roaming around. The cottage was spacious and well equipped and we each had our own bathrooms, which is always a perk! The hosts were really helpful and recommended activities. There is so much to do in the area - from caves to boat tours and hiking! We hope to be able to return to this piece of paradise one day. Thank you Gay and Willem!

Being a totally self-catering facility, you are responsible for your own meals. The cooking facilities are exceptional, and if they haven't got it, it doesn't exist! Very comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms.
