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.).

ChileOur stay at Blue Fern in Knysna was excellent. The place has all the necessary amenities for the traveler. The room was spacious, with its own terrace, the bed was very comfortable, and the refrigerator, television and bathroom worked perfectly. We liked the location of Blue Fern very much because it is located in a very quiet, nice and safe residential neighborhood and 5 minutes walk from a supermarket. The breakfast prepared by the owners themselves was very good, in our case we tried a great English breakfast. By far the best thing about this place are the hosts, who very kindly guided us to visit the city and its surroundings. Steve recommended several tours that turned out to be a success. We highly recommend Blue Fern and would definitely come back.

FranceMaybe the ceiling fan that is a little slow for the hot days ...
We had a large, comfortable room with a large bed and a sofa bed. Friendly owners that prepare the good breakfast that is included. Very quiet neighbourhood. A small swimming pool brings relief on a very hot day. I forgot my Visa card and they text me, so I could return to pick it.

South AfricaIn summer months, may be a bit hot.
The property had everything as advertised. Very quiet place, close to all amenities. The hosts were fantastic. After I checked out of the property, Christa phoned and informed me that I had forgotten my expensive earphones at the property. She even packed it nicely for the couriers. Very accommodating.

South AfricaLight circuit breaker tripped due to a fault . Luckily was late at night so didn't need it and the bedside lamps still worked so wasn't an issue. Brought it to the owners attention in the morning who was going to get an electrician to rectify ASAP
Neat and clean. Beds are comfortable. Room has a kettle and fridge and has TV with Open View channels. Outside is a pool for the hot days. Parking is off street and safe. Host very friendly and they also serve breakfast. Safe area and close to a Spar for those that need something. Waterfront and Knysna heads within 5 min of the establishment. Very pleasant stay

IndiaA safe good locality. Rooms were clean and had most amenities. Host was accommodating despite we doing a late check in. They guided us to the close by SPAR store which is a 5-7 minutes' walk. Was extremely helpful to have eating joint and SPAR close-by. Very close to township too. Morning goodies was unexpected but a great touch! Extremely value for money and safe place. There could be a bed heater as it was cold in August.

IndiaNeat nice place in a safe good locality. A must for stay in SA. The host were very accommodating and helpful. We checked in late. They guided us to the close by place (SPAR) which is just 5-7 minutes Walk where we could pick up everything including dinner. Complete value for money. Had all needed amenities. Only downside we could get is absence of bed heater. Being August month, it was really cold. Will recommend this place of stay.
