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.).

IrelandThe only thing that caught us out a few times was food. It would have been great to organise breakfasts and dinners at the start of our stay as some days we were a little late to organise things as we didn't know cut off times etc.
We had a very special few days at this guest house. To say it felt like a home from home would be an understatement. We were lucky enough to overlap with a number of guests visiting long term from China and everyone got on so well; staff, guests and my children just loved the pool and garden and the freedom they enjoyed to roam and chat to everyone while I worked. My children still talk about Patience :-) ... "I want long hair like Patience when I grow up" and "Patience has the best name because she is so patient". Thanks Patience & team - we can't wait to see you all again. Thanks for making our few days stop off in Jberg so easy and fun and safe (and especially for playing with the children and answering their endless questions while I worked).

South AfricaThere were a few small things such as taps and handles a bit loose and a complimentary bottle of water would be great. But overall still a very enjoyable stay.
Staff were incredibly friendly, communication leading up to check-in was very good. All in all, a very pleasant stay.

The staff were very kind, willing to help and very accommodating. The property was exceptionally clean with all commodities. Additionally coffee was available with a safe and fridge, the sort of things one would not expect in a standard guesthouse. The compound was clean and tidy all the time.

EstoniaThe pool is quite cold, but it is cold almost everywhere. And they offer no dinner, so you have to go out. Still not a big problem.
I have stayed in various places around Johannesburg during my South African trips for two last years, and this is my favorite. Amazing location, very chill and safe. Great staff, home feeling, good WiFi, good breakfast - our family stays here for the second time already, and if I’ll visit Johannesburg again, I will stay here again.

United StatesIt was a bit far from the airport. The property was not close to any shops and restaurants, and we walked about a mile to get some lunch. It was a nice area once we got there.
This was a quick overnight stay with an early morning flight from Johannesburg. It is a beautiful property with beautiful gardens and a swimming pool. There were 2 other guests who stayed by the pool all day and it felt a bit intrusive to join them. We ate dinner at the property and it was good. The staff person was friendly and attentive to our questions.
