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.).

ZimbabweWe stayed as a family of 4 and booked the three bedroom cottage. We were met and greeted by our friendly host Thapelo who was very welcoming and helpful. We were very pleasantly surprised that the cottage was much larger than expected, and the facilities were all good. There is a very well equipped large modern kitchen, big lounge and dining room, and a second lounge at the entrance. The bedrooms are tastefully furnished and are very spacious and fitted with heaters and have electric blankets on the beds which was a real bonus in the middle of winter. There are two well fitted bathrooms, both a bath and hot showers. There is also a verandah with BBQ facilities which we didn't get to use as our stay was only two nights. Lots of good restaurants nearby within walking distance. Highly recommend, and will definitely book again!

FranceThe timer on the light was a bit short so I didn't have the time to deal with getting the keys into the lock before it was off again and not being from SA they took a bit of getting used to. Also I found the microwave was a little bit difficult to access because of the way the door works and the hight I needed to be a couple inches taller to make it easy.
I liked the cosiness and the comfort. I also liked the location on the property and the coffee and tea that was available.

South AfricaThe fact that for 3 of our 7 nights there we had to put up with hours of partying and screaming teenage girls of the “Dokkies” hockey team from some Afrikaans school in Meyersdal. Their couches and their wives were at times even more raucous than the girls. The property policy clearly stated no events or parties. Only when we couldn’t bear it anymore and complained to the manager who lives on the property did she speak to them but clearly they ignored her request as well and continued their partying until they either fell down or were exhausted very late on those evenings.
It had everything to make for a comfortable stay at a reasonable price and is very centrally located.

South AfricaLovely little self-catering cottage. It was clean, comfortable, secure and quiet. The bedrooms were small but the beds were comfortable and there was lots of cupboard space. With a lovely little lounge with a couch and two chairs, a dining room table with four chairs, and an outside enclosed area with table and chairs there was plenty of space. Basic kitchen equipment and a generous supply of tea and coffee. There was even an outside shared garden and area with chairs and games and puzzles. Check in and out were simple and staff were friendly and on hand if needed. We had a lovely stay there.

GermanyIt would have been nice to have a safe.
The reception by Thapelo got us off to a great start. We really liked how the rooms were centred around a lavender garden. The interior itself was clean, light and well maintained with a very comfortable bed. Although we didn’t need it, the rooms had ample load shedding preparations which is not always a given. Would gladly be back!
