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 AfricaUpon my arrival, I called the caretaker, Lorraine, to confirm that everything was in order, and she assured me that everything was fine. However, upon arrival, I discovered there was no running water on the property. Lorraine provided me with a 2-liter bucket of water, which was insufficient for a two-night stay. Although she assured me that water would be restored the following day, it was only returned in the afternoon, causing significant inconvenience. Furthermore, when I contacted Lorraine in January to inquire about room availability, she reacted aggressively and told me that I had left the room dirty during my previous stay. She claimed she had to purchase cleaning supplies at my expense and demanded R600 for cleaning before I could stay in the room again. This accusation was both uncalled for and misleading, as during my previous stay, I found that the room was never cleaned once in the three days I was there, and I had to purchase my own toilet paper and toiletries. Lorraine also mentioned that the sheets were dirty, despite my stay being only two nights. As a guest, I found this expectation unreasonable, especially since no cleaning services were provided during my time there. I felt her behavior was not only rude but also unprofessional, as it appeared she was attempting to unfairly place the blame on me for issues that were beyond my control. Due to the way I was treated, I felt compelled to end the call abruptly. I deeply regret having booked and stayed at your property under these circumstances, and I am extremely disappointed with the lack of proper service and communication. I respectfully request that you investigate this matter further and take appropriate action. I would also appreciate a resolution regarding the unreasonable charges imposed by Lorraine. I trust that future guests will not face similar issues if the necessary improvements are made. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

South AfricaI didn't like the fact the lounge was a communal lounge. it wasn't stated on the site. the kettle was leaking and placed in a plate full of water. the helper, said that it was perfectly "safe" (I felt nothing about that was safe). as Hosts of an air bnb you should prepare in ADVANCE for any inconvenience, putting up a JOJO Tank the day the water got cut, was a major inconvenience to us. we were there for a concert. had we known in advance, we would have picked a better place to stay at. not having proper equipment to bath, like a stool, a bucket and something to pour the water with over your body, was another inconvenience because we had to squat in the tub and find a container from the kitchen to pour the water over our bodies. and only one towel for 3 days??? unhygienic! We had no remote to enter and exist the property because other guests were given remotes. how does that work? theres no AC! We died with the heat. we were given a fan but it was so far away due to one plug point away from us. This place is not prepared to host guests and I most definitely will not be going back there. spending R1700 for a one bedroom felt like a scam with none of the utilities being properly accessible
actually, nothing. I just had to be grateful that we had a place to sleep.

South AfricaThe owner's decided it would be a good idea to paint the inside while guests were there. Terrible paint smell throughout the house and it was very difficult to sleep. They should have painted when no guests were booked. Very inconsiderate. Will not return. Also there was a rat in the kitchen, after seeing it, I refused to use any of the utilities in the kitchen.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

South AfricaI was disappointed to learn that they only clean rooms at the guest's request. Normally, that is a standard procedure and guests only indicate when they do not want their rooms to be cleaned, however, we were only notified of this reverse policy when we came back from the event we were attending. I would recommend that they re-look into this policy, otherwise the property is perfect.
I liked that they were able to offer us alternative accommodation in another branch nearby where we originally booked since the whole neighborhood had a challenge with electricity
