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 staff member who recieved us was amazing, he ironed our clothes too since there was no iron in the room
That there is no iron in the room and that because I had made the bed, they simply did not do housekeeping since I tried to keep it tidy

Verified reviewA perfect place to stay in Clarens. It is within walking distance to all the lovely shops, markets, art galleries and restaurants. The room was spotless, and everything was super comfortable. It has a balcony with a gorgeous view of the mountains and you can enjoy the quiet, tranquil edge of town with the birds. Very friendly and helpful service. Will definitely stay here again.

Verified reviewWe had a great time at Upper House. The property is walking distance from everything you need. The room was very cosy, with heaters and electric blankets which were appreciated in the cold. The service was excellent, we were allowed to check in early. Kwanele was available 24/7 to answer any questions. Would definitely recommend!

Verified reviewMargi is an exceptional host going out of her way to let her guest enjoy their time away . Her guest house is clean, beautifully decorated & comfortable and has gorgeous views. The staff is friendly and welcoming. It is close to the town square and hiking routes. The breakfasts are delicious and her added treat with music on the piano makes for memorable moments.
Nothing.

Verified reviewA Truly Breathtaking Stay in Clarens, South Africa Our stay in Clarens was absolutely unforgettable! The breathtaking mountain views left us in awe every morning, and the peace and beauty of the surroundings brought such a sense of rest and renewal. The hospitality we received was truly exceptional—warm, thoughtful, and welcoming in every way. Every detail was taken care of, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. If you’re looking for a place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy God’s creation, this is it. We left with full hearts and beautiful memories. Highly recommend to anyone visiting this stunning part of South Africa! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
