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 AfricaIt took some time to find a conversion plug for my hairdryer and as far as I could see there was no hairdryer in the unit. I eventually found a plug next to the bed that I could use. There were no clear instructions on what to do with the keys on departure. We were however able to contact Deidre who immediately assisted us, even though it was early in the morning, but clear instructions in the room would have been useful.
Location is quiet even though it is very close to the heart of the Sandton Business District. It took us only minutes to get to the Sandton Convention Centre. The guest units are set in a lovely garden with an outside seated area and a pond nearby. On arrival, I realised that I had forgotten my contact lens kit at home. Deidre went out of her way to assist me with lens holders and some eye drops to see me through to the next day. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable. I can definitely recommend it and will use it again if I have business in the area.

South AfricaThe room isn't intended to be set up this way, but what would have been ideal for me would have been a more stocked kitchen facility for cooking.
Deirdre is very friendly and helpful, and accommodated my late arrival. The place is perfect for a single traveler looking for a quiet place to relax, with location close to Sandton. Comfortable bed too.

LesothoThe location is very safe. The trees and plants make it a refreshing place to stay at. There's maintenance work done in the yard so it's always clean. My room was super clean, the bedding was freshly washed, the bathroom was well maintained and clean as well. I had 3 lamps that didn't require electricity for when load shedding happens which was a lively touch.
