How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe property needs a lot of maintenance. There were extension cords taped together throughout the room which is dangerous. Also there was no shower only a bath
Good day Rowen, Thank you very much for the good review. We appreciate it. Kind regards, Dalene

Verified reviewWe had a very comfortable stay at the Mountain View Country Inn. Clean comfortable rooms. Breakfast and dinner was very good. The perfect stopover on our way home and to do some exploring of the area.
Nothing.

Verified reviewLovely olde world hotel built in the 1870s with a lot of the original floors and features retained . I booked a single room and was pleasantly surprised to be given a choice of double rooms :)
An extension plug that allows for the fridge, microwave and kettle to be plugged in at once - even if they can't be used at once.

Verified reviewThe staff member running Reception and Kitchen was very pleasant and accommodating. She should advise on overall process, and know a bit about the area.
Watering Service not good as only one person. Had to keep looking for her. Not her fault. I advised I would ride at 05h30 but battled to get out of the hotel. Boerewors at breakfast not cooked/ raw on spots.

Verified reviewGood WiFi, good home cooked dinner, good breakfast, comfortable bed in the red room. Working fridge, coffee and tea supplied in the room. Back up lighting supplied for power failures.
Fan in the room needs to be repaired as the room gets very hot. Stairs from the bedroom to the bathroom, if you don’t have good balance choose a different room.

Verified reviewAmazing views! Good dinner and decent breakfast. Probably the best spot in town to get a bite as locals also frequent it to get take aways. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Gated parking.
Service was slow (to match the calmness of the town.) Some info was not communicated clearly initially, e.g.: where our room was and what the WiFi password was.

No water! We realise it is a municipal problem, but wished they provided water in a jug or bottled water.
