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 fact that there wasn't a reception. Somewhere to wait or ask if room isn't available yet. Would like some direction how to use the washing machine and dishwasher. Would like some more glassware to cook food in oven. Also more cups etc, to make it more worthwhile to put on the washing machine. Also some direction to nearest busstop and which bus go to town. For foreners it would help a lot.

United KingdomThe key cards did not work, so couldn't get into the property. Had issues contacting the correct SACO Team as the telephone numbers provided were for bookings. However, the person I spoke to was very helpful, took 30 mins before I could get into the property. The only other thing, it would be nice to have some oven dishes to use and only one baking tray. I also couldn't access the manuals for the appliances.
The instructions for collecting the keys were easy and straight forward. Good parking, loved the property, comfortable bed and sofa. Lovely and clean, helpful staff. Overall enjoyed my stay, would stay again, would recommend.

Very easy to collect the key cards from a lock box.

United KingdomIn my apartment/house, the freezer section was so iced up it was impossible to open up/use. This also seemed to affect the top fridge which stayed cool (not cold) during our stay. The dishwasher possibly needed an overhaul, or maybe different pods. I was feeding 9 whilst staying there, and more than half the dishwasher contents had to be rewashed by hand each time. We did try different programmes & stacking differently .. still a problem. Not a worry when there's only a couple staying!
As I had booked 3 separate apartments, Ricky kindly managed to get us close together and met all requirements for us. He also kindly met us and showed us around. A nice warm welcome .. very much appreciated. In spite of the negatives which you asked for, we really did enjoy our stay .... and would highly recommend SACO to others.
