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 exterior building was not inviting though the inside was very clean and beautiful. The TV was not functional. Lastly we’d prefer that hooting at the gate be prohibited beyond 22h00pm.
Had sanitary pads plus a toothbrush incase off any emergency, that’s really thoughtful.

South AfricaHouse can do with paint job to make it look nicer from outside.
Inside was clean and tidy, very nice little place. There is bar fridge and kettle and you are allowed to use kitchen in main house. There is a TV but tv box wasn't working, luckily we had own device to plug in and watch. Aircon not working but there is a ceiling fan. Place was perfect for what we needed, place to sleep and shower while attending gala across road.

South Africa- Pay deposit when you arrived,even if it was that little,to me is the reason behind the payment of that deposit as if I'm a thief. - Have to open and close the gate myself worse it was raining and it seems the gate is remotely/used to be. - No bulbs for side lamps,no remote control for air-condition,no remote control and extension plug for tv but all of this appliances are there but not working. - You can't go with bare foot on the floor because though it seems clean the floor has a sand which means they don't clean the room the day before the guest gets inn - Which means what you see from the booking.com pictures is the old version not the current status. - The yard,the grass is up to my knees as a result if it was not too late,I would have check for another place to sleep. - No towels for both guests even for one guest was not enough because I used the towel when I arrived but have to use the same towel for bathing again in the morning
The bed was comfortably and clean.Water for bathing/shower was warm
