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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 rooms smelt like moth balls which was a bit intense. but everything we needed was in our chalet, and im lowkey glad we didnt book the lake view cause the bathrooms are outside. No complaints on my end. It exceeded my expectations, from looking at the picks online. perfect fishing trip and outdoors well maintained
youre not booking a five star chalet, your chalet is literally to sleep and wash, the scenery was beautiful. i spent my holiday fishing and picnicking on the grass. However please do yourself a favour and get doom/ insect repellent and bring your own bedding just for your extra comfort. The owner is such a sweet person, a chatter and will take his time answering questions... as long as you respect the property

South AfricaThe place is soooo dirty. Our room was full of goggas and spider web all over. Our room did not have a toilet and a shower, not to mention that they did not give us towels. The place is Self-Catering, but it doesn't have the resources you need to cater for yourselves. They expected us to wash our dishes but didn't even give us the dish-clothes, let alone the dish washing liquid. The showers and toilets, ohhh Gosh... Basically if you want to experience a terrible weekend out, go to this place. The care taker is such a racist 🙄 I would never advise anyone book this place for a holiday, even for a weekend outing, more especially if you are traveling with kids, you will only traumatize your kids.
Nothing at all, the worst service I ever received at a Guesthouse. This is not a place for leisure

South AfricaThe fact that they do not accommodation late check-in even when you call to make arrangements, I had to pay extra money for late check-in, and the other chalet was dirty that we had to stay in one house because they is no full time staff member there to clean and we have to look for somebody to clean, then they are racist because I paid key deposits then when we checked out the old guy had to take his time to check the place but my problem is he did not check the white people when they checked out and there was no enough toilet papers. To be honest I will never recommend anyone to go there due to the treatment and they refuse to refund for the dirty room that had spider webs. They need to change their attitude because they will lose the business.
