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 service and assistance provided by the friendly staff was exceptional and we were very grateful for that. The location is convenient and the property is spacious, neat and clean. We especially loved the very nice and comfy twin beds and the decor of our room. The accommodation is also excellent value for money.
1. The mini fridge in the room was not working. When another fridge was brought to our room, we discovered that the issue was that the electricity for the fridge was not switched on and that the fridge's plug was not plugged in. 2. There was no safe in the room as advertised. 3. There was no hot water when we wanted to shower in the morning at around 10am. This made my health problems worse and caused muscle spasms and pain for my body, esp in my neck and shoulders and back, because I had to take a cold shower. The reason given was that all the hot water is used up by a certain time, which I find unacceptable, as guests cannot be forced to shower at certain times only. At least there was hot water the second morning, but I'm not sure whether this was because we showered a lot earlier in the morning than we did the previous day. 4. Upon packing and getting ready to check out, I discovered a big and a small cockroach in the bathroom which we got rid off. If I had seen that upon checking in, I would've checked out immediately and booked another accommodation. To be fair, we did not mention this to the host of the property, because we were drained and exhausted (from attending a funeral) and we forgot to mention it.

Verified reviewThe location. 4 minutes from Stonehaven on the Vaal so we coulr easily travel to the wine expo. They also allowed us early check-in at 12 instead of 2pm so that we could get to our event on time and already checked-in

Verified reviewThe room was private and very comfortable. Getting in and out was easy and very well situated. I had everything I needed and more and actually looked forward to getting back and relaxing. The great danes were an added bonus.
There was absolutely nothing that put me off or that I had an issue with.
