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.).

RomaniaIt is impossible to say that even the smallest thing can be bad here!
It is a place of beauty, peace and joy! It is so beautiful that we fell in love with the place from the first second! Everything is refined, designed with educated taste for art and style. Great rooms, each with different classic style design, perfect services, wonderful breakfast, gorgeous yard and swimming pool. Everything ultra-safe, in a very good area. They even have a piano!!! It is a place for the chosen, owned and managed by chosen people! The owners are the best persons we have met in a long time! True deep great human beings, loving and sensitive. We became so good friends that we really had the feeling we visited some nice relatives in their home, not staying at a hotel. Because this is way more than o hotel: it is a beautiful home! Please visit this place only if you have good intentions and needs for peaceand relaxation, and you will never want to leave!

South Africa1) Outside of the usual continental type breakfast, for a strict vegetarian, more protein options could have been made available. I prefer savory foods, but I had to have the cereal option as no savory options were available at first glance, until the waitress brought the menu. My breakfast for both days (outside of a small portion of muesli) was defrosted/heated mushrooms (definitely not freshly cooked), cheese, few slices of tomato, and 2 slices of bread. Also, the grated cheese on day 2 appeared to be leftover from the day before. 2) The fridge in my room was super noisy. I simply had to switch off at bedtime, as this was a problem for me. 3) I also couldn't figure out the TV. Probably my own fault, as I am not patient figuring this out. It was easier to Netflix or Prime off my phone that to tinker with the DSTV unit/ television set.
Most of the places I've been to are modern, with modern fixtures and decor. This place had everything that was old, but very well maintained. As can be expected from items from an older era, everything of good quality, very unlike items of today which break easy. So yes, everything was available, and it was sufficient for my purposes for overnight stays during my conference.

NetherlandsIt's an amazing place, the ambiance is great and the owners are lovely. Breakfast is amazing, pool & garden are just picture perfect. There were enough parking spots on the property, behind the secured gate. A few simple places are on walking distance (safe to walk to), but Ubers/bolt is also everywhere. Would def recommend.
