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 absolutely adored staying here. The cottage is a bachelor unit, with a large patio. It offers ample living spaces, especially in summer. The patio has a grapevine with two seating areas followed by a small enclosed private garden and more communal garden beyond that. . The kitchen is small but provided everything that I desired. It's one of the mostly thoughtfully furnished and equipped places that I stayed in for a long time (and I travel a lot). There was also no power cottages in spite of stage 6 loadshedding. Most importantly the bed and bedding was luxurious, with an electric blanket for the cold. You get more than what you pay for. I highly recommend this cottage for anyone, it's magical.

United StatesWe loved our stay at Sunny Lane! We rented the 2 apartments. The apartments were very comfortable. We stayed in the winter and appreciated the heaters and heating blankets on the bed. Walking distance to lovely cafes, restaurants, and the Saturday market. I would definitely stay again and recommend this accommodation if you’re in the area!

South AfricaThe apartment was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Also they recently invested in an back-up system that helps make the load shedding a bit more bearable. Location was superb, with the town center, wine tram depo and La Cotte Farm. only a short walk away.

South AfricaOnly thing missing was some body lotion among the toiletries, which were otherwise very nice.
Beautiful lavender-scented garden, sunny patio with comfortable chairs, all rooms were a good size and nicely furnished. We ate out, but if you wanted to self-cater, the apartment was very well equipped. The room was serviced regularly which you don't usually expect with self-catering accommodation. Very handy for the shops and restaurants, but wonderfully quiet both by day and at night. An inverter meant no inconvenience with load shedding.

South AfricaWe loved everything! We loved the garden, amenities and mini gas hob. The inverter was the biggest bonus! Bed was comfortable and more than enough bedding was supplied. Air conditioner a huge plus as it was rather chilly at night. Seating space both inside and outside was great as we enjoyed our coffee outside. Best best best part was the location, we could walk everywhere, even to a few farms for a wine tasting.
