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.).

The rooms were really decorated beautifully. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The extras, like Sherry in the room, Muesli and yogurt in the fridge with fruit juices and water. Delicious brownie cakes waiting, this place is absolutely stunning and the hosts so friendly and helpful. Worth every send and more. Absolutely recommend this to anyone travelling and will definitely be back.

South AfricaThe brownie could have been a bit bigger, it tasted great though :)
The attention to detail and cleanliness of the room was exceptional. The added touches, like the sherry, the coffee machine, the snacks in the fridge, etc. make that bit of difference you don't often find at a B&B. Fresh milk for the coffee was just so much better than the "Cremora" that places normally provide The bed was extremely comfortable and the bedding smelt great :)

Exceptional Stay at Bella Blue Guesthouse We recently stayed at Bella Blue, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The guesthouse is absolutely beautiful, with elegant decor and a serene atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the impeccably clean rooms to the thoughtfully chosen furnishings. What truly sets Bella Blue apart is the exceptional value for money. Despite its luxurious feel, the rates are incredibly reasonable, making it a gem for travelers seeking both comfort and affordability. The amenities are plentiful, catering to every need you could think of. From the cozy common areas and well-equipped kitchen to the lush outdoor spaces, Bella Blue offers everything you need for a relaxing and convenient stay. The location is also perfect—close to restaurants, yet tucked away enough to provide peace and quiet. The host was warm, welcoming, and went out of her way to ensure we had an amazing stay. Every little detail was taken care of, making our visit truly special. We can’t recommend Bella Blue enough. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of beauty, comfort, and value, this guesthouse is an absolute must-stay. We’ll definitely be returning!

South AfricaThis guesthouse was delightful! I wish we stayed longer than one night while moving through and will most certainly be back in the future! The room itself is beautifully decorated with touches of blue in everything. Everything is thoughtfully provided - even a honesty shop that is open 24/7 although we didn't make use of it, it was still comforting to know there are supplies at hand!

South AfricaThis place is a little gem. It is well appointed, with the room having everything you may need - for everything else, you will definitely find it in the 24hour guesthouse shop downstairs. It's the small things - attention to detail that exceeded my expectation. We arrived to warm pillows and a warm bed (the electric blanket was switched on before our arrival). We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Bloem.

SingaporeOur stay at Bella Blue Guesthouse was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine sense of care from Rynette, the host. The guesthouse itself is beautifully maintained, with stylish and modern décor that made us feel right at home. The room we stayed in was impeccably clean, spacious, and equipped with all the comforts we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the attention to detail, like the fresh linens and thoughtful amenities, truly made a difference. The location is another major plus – situated in a quiet and safe area, yet close enough to easily reach the main attractions of Bloemfontein. We felt well taken care of throughout our stay and appreciated the personalised touches that made it a memorable experience. Bella Blue Guesthouse is a gem, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, elegance, and excellent service in Bloemfontein. We can’t wait to return!
