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.).

New ZealandA couple of things: 1. The extra milk in the refrigerator was sour. 2. We could not connect to the Wi-Fi and were told to keep trying or reboot our phones. This did not work. 3. Only feather pillows were available on the beds, and some people are allergic to feathers. Luckily, we had traveled with our own pillows.
It is a beautiful place. We booked a double room but were upgraded to a deluxe room as we were the only guests. Very nice room and bathroom, and the bed was very comfortable.

Has everything you need for an overnight stop. Despite the initial misgivings of the location, security was good. Large comfortable room, microwave & extras in adjoining kitchen if required. Bonus to have a hair dryer, so many other places don't have.

CongoThe host doesn't stay on the property which was problematic when the lights went out as no one knew how to switch on the generator. When it ran out of fuel, in the morning we had no hot water for coffee or showers.
It was worth waiting for breakfast (only served from 8.30 on weekends). The little touches were very sweet and it was very filling. Loved the fire in the 2nd dining room because of the snow! Although Maclear had a power cut the night we were there, the generator kept the electric blankets on long enough to warm the beds, and the wonderful duvets kept us snug and warm. Our room was very spacious (up some stairs) and we had a beautiful view of the snow covered village from the balcony. It felt like being in a fairy tale. The host recommended the Ranch for dinner which was fabulous. Great food and prices. Friendly service. We appreciated the recommendation. We were grateful for the under cover (secure) parking because of the snow, which made unpacking and packing the car so much easier.

South AfricaOnly the area of the town was a little disconcerting for a city dweller. But we were safe and comfortable and everyone we met was friendly and offered good service.
An exquisite manor house tucked away in the little inland town of Mac Clear. A great place to stop over before the long trip through the Eastern Cape. Lovely friendly host who was very concerned with our welfare and comfort.
