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 AfricaThe setting was magical, we had a beautiful peaceful space to retreat and rest. The hosts went out of their way to make us comfortable and welcome. The breakfasts were special, the coffee delicious. The decor is top notch. Lovely pool (although too cold when we were there). Would recommend highly.

This gorgeous bed and breakfast has 2 rooms for guests in a cottage house behind the family's main home. The location is perfect, easy to walk into town and SO close to the wine tram. The apartment was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable with every amenity you could ask for. Due to rain, the family hosted us in their own home for breakfast, which was absolutely fabulous- I would definitely stay here again!

United KingdomThe shower only has an overhead “rain shower” which can not be angled or repositioned, so the addition of a hand held /flexible shower attachment (either in the shower cubicle OR by the bath) would have been great.
Beautiful property in a quiet area of a delightful neighbourhood. Lovely gardens with use of the pool, & the cottage is spacious & has its own private patio. Great hosts.

NetherlandsWow, a hidden gem in Franschhoek! Erna and Guido are amazing hosts, with great personalities and eye for detail. The breakfast served in the garden, was the best we've experienced in South Africa so far. The cottage is super cute, very comfy and walking distance from all the shops and restaurants! We recommend this place wholeheartedly and we hope to come back soon!

ItalyThe Cottage on 55 is a prime example of a B&B. The arrival was very friendly, we were warmly welcomed. The complex is beautiful with a garden, everything is super clean and very well maintained. The room was a dream and lovingly decorated. The breakfast was extremely tasty and prepared a la minute; we had the best poached egg of our trip. The hosts Erna and Guido are always available, very welcoming and happy to give tips for exploring the area. The world needs more Ernas and Guidos, we would give 11 points if we could. Thanks for everything and see you soon! S&T
