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.).

I don’t eat breakfast but it was plentiful with excellent choices. The welcome and hospitality was warm and friendly; important for me as a solo traveller. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone went ‘the extra mile’.

GermanyCurtain as bathroom ‚door‘ was a bit odd, and we didn‘t like it! Our room (Sage) was a bit noisy from the street in the morning.
We enjoyed the well decorated, charming house in vintage style. The garden and the pool are also very nice. Quite safe area, good for a walk. Breakfast is really good, fresh fruits, cereals, joghurt and eggs to our liking. Hosts and staff are very friendly and helpful.

South AfricaWe were two friends and not a couple therefore would love to have had two separate beds! However, when I booked it , this was the last room available! Also, having a curtain as a covering for the bathroom is not a good idea! We prefer a door! Thank goodness we had a shower before going to bed as the next morning there was no water! (I know it's not your fault!)
We attended a wedding at Forest road Winery and it was only 8 mins away therefore chose this accommodation!

United KingdomNothing...everything was perfect
A really lovely period house with amazing gardens and stoops plus pool. The room was very nicely furnished and quiet. Bed was very comfortable and the shower very warm. The wifi was also good. I didn't have breakfast but saw other guests enjoying theirs, looked amazing. There is private secure parking and its only 10 minute drive to the Somerset Malls and 10 - 15 minutes drive to a number of local golf courses if you're a golfer. I can very much recommend Almond Cottage as a place to stay and will definitely stay again.

The peace and quiet. We had a lovely room that opened to a small patio. Perfect to have your morning coffee. The nice areas in the nice garden to enjoy your drink or read a book. The breakfast was also very nice. The hosts were very hospitable, checked regularly to see if we needed anything. Only 8 minutes from the Somerset Mall.

South AfricaThe unfortunate thing was that, there was no water in the property. The property did communicate this however it was too late to make alternative arrangements. I hoped that there would be water in the morning at least when we wake up and there wasn't unfortunately. The property still supplied drinking water though. I fully understand that they had no control over the situation.
I loved everything. The room was specious and I liked that the most as I didn't feel cramped in the room. The host was friendly and prepared a nice breakfast. The bed was comfortable and the linen was clean. Everything looked nice and clean.
