Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyIt was the perfect start for our SA vacation - a beautiful house, fresh breakfast, clean and very nice pool to escape the heat and amazing wine and dinner! There was nothing else what we could have wished for. Special Bonus: They had a golf card to explore the wineyard and a cute private terrace with our room where we could enjoy a glass of the homemade sweet wine that was served every day in our room 😍 great!

Excelsior is a home from home. Kristin and James are very attentive to all the guests needs. They go out of their way to make sure their guests are pampered. Being on a farm and in such a beautiful area with lots to do makes this stay even more special.

Our host Kristin was excellent, so welcoming and warm showcasing everything wonderful about South Africa, The rooms were most comfortable and airy, located in a beautiful traditional Cape Manor house. The set dinner menu was superb, provided in an elegant , stylish dining room, with excellent service and delicious wines which we discovered were available for guests after the meal was served. Breakfast was delicious served outside on the terrace overlooking the stunning countryside. One of the highlights of the visit was the opportunity to visit the actual vineyard and blend a bottle of one's own wine assisted by one of the very helpful staff. Very much look forward to returning with our sons.

South AfricaIt would be nice if all the rooms had a door to the outside, I know that this might not be possible but a thought.
The staff were friendly. At dinner I asked if I could taste each of the white wines, as I had tasted the reds at the blending. It was no problem at all. The breakfast was an amazing spread with a little of everything. There was ample coffee and tea supplied in your room in case you felt like a second or even third cup.
