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 TV is at a very crappy spot. We ended up watching Netflix on our laptop in bed or by the couches
The bed was super comfy, place is very clean, the kitchen was very well equipped, mostly quiet and felt at one with nature, lots of plants and loved the fish pond

United Arab EmiratesIts really made for a single person as it has an open plan bathroom that does not have any privacy.
Location is amazing with awesome views and proximity to the mountains all round. Jens is a great host and made us feel very welcome with welcome wine and beer in the fridge.

United KingdomWe recently had the pleasure of staying in this absolutely breathtaking open-plan apartment, and I can confidently say it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by an expansive layout that perfectly blended comfort and style. The sheer size of the living area created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. What truly stole the show were the stunning views! The large windows flooded the space with natural light and offered panoramic vistas that took our breath away. Each sunrise and sunset was nothing short of magical, and we enjoyed savoring our morning coffee sat on the balcony while soaking in the tranquil scenery. The bathroom was a delightful surprise, featuring a unique design that overlooked an infinity-style pond. The bath with its view made for a serene and relaxing experience. Every detail in the apartment was thoughtfully thought out,, from the modern furnishings to the tasteful decor, creating a cozy and elegant vibe throughout. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease while enjoying the incredible views. Overall, this apartment offered a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, making our stay truly unforgettable. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a short break away feom the hustleand bustle, I can't recommend this stunning open-plan apartment enough! We can't wait for our next visit!

United StatesShower not handy to get in and out, inadequate splash door. No table for working or eating, though a desk was advertised. The terrace area was unkempt; leaves were leaf-blown from above, pond fountain was very noisy especially at night, and outside furniture was dilapidated/ broken.
View is wonderful. Beautiful area. Interesting architecture, with green sod roof for cooling the space- did make it musty with the terrace door closed. Open plan kitchenette, bathroom and sleeping area is unusual- OK if you are good friends :). WiFi good, no trouble with load shedding. Good quality appliances and towels.

South AfricaThe room did not have a view. The shower over the bath. The TV was limited to Netflix, and worked only sporadically. Towards the end of our stay it was fixed. An outside light disturbed our rest.
We enjoyed the architects' design of the units. Fish ponds are used to create reflections of the trees. Space is well allocated. Well equipped kitchen. Fresh towels and facecloths. Convenient plugs for charging cell phones and computors. The host was friendly. It is VERY quiet! Lovely.
