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 are 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 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 AfricaNo card paymemt facilities. Taking out cash from ATM in town which only gives 100 notes is very cumbersome and expensive. Same breakfast everyday. No TV. No wi-fi backup during the 8 hour power outages.

ZambiaThe curtains were too thin and didn’t block off much light, so it was hard to sleep longer because of this.
The staff were very polite and extremely helpful. The rooms were very nice and cozy and definitely worth the amount we paid. Breakfast was always available on time and it was made very well. Overall the place truly felt like home. We also got to meet the owner and he was extremely kind to us as well.

AustraliaMy family and I made a quick trip into Zambia from Namibia, we were travelling from Australia. We found Tabonina Bis comfortable and met all our family needs with 2 bedrooms. We did not use the pool as it was winter. The owner Laurent, came to see us while we were having our complimentary breakfast. He made sure he stayed and had a chat after we gave him the indication that he was not disturbing us while eating . Laurent was very knowledgeable on the area and gave us some recommendations while visiting Victoria Falls. We also know that Laurent runs Tabonina A which is located in the same area. Thanks for all the help. Regards Neil & Leanne

SloveniaThe breakfast was very sweet (jam, butter, toast, coffee) and could have been more versatile with savoury options (eggs, bacon, etc). The door locks should be stronger (the doors are old). The wifi didn't work very well.
The location is good, and the whole stay is great value for money. The rooms are spacious and clean, with big beds and tall ceilings. There is enough parking space. There is a beautiful garden and a nice pool.

GermanyMy room was huge with 3 beds. It was totally fine for me, but it's not "luxury", there are cracks in the doors and windows, so that it's not closing properly. The water tap was very loose. A lot of spiders in the room, but that is of course normal in this area.

The staff are very helpful and willing to help with any needs. We stayed in a double room with private bathroom and it was big enough for us. The aircon works nicely!
