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 AfricaWe recently stayed at this wonderful guesthouse and was blown away by the incredible service and inviting atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, especially as it was just days before our wedding. They made every effort to accommodate us, making our time there special and relaxing. With delightful surprises like the yummy cherry to end our day on a sweet note and the delicious chocolate left on our bed during turndown service, accompanied by a thoughtful note with the next day's forecast. Plus, the view from the guesthouse was absolutely breathtaking, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend a stay here. The breakfast was delicious, the location was perfect - not too close to the shops, but just far enough to feel relaxed. It truly made for an unforgettable pre-wedding getaway.

United KingdomIt worked for us, but you might want to be closer to town to eat/drink out. There’s no restaurant you can walk to.
Lovely room, great views and tasty breakfast. The team who run it were helpful, with recommendations and booked dinner for us at a local restaurant (10 minutes drive away). There’s a path along the sea front, you can have a nice walk/ run along.

GermanyThe room could have been bigger/better, but the kindliness of the owners and the fantastic breakfast made up for everything. So it is still a 9!
The property lies perfectly at the seaside near Hermanus. The house is wonderful and splendid - as is the overwhelming breakfast, freshly prepared in the morning. Competing with another place in Cape Town our best breakfast we had traveling South Africa! And made just right for you from owners and staff. The room is not huge but very tidy and nice for sleeping. It had an ocean view but just from the side... well, we just stayed there for 1 night.

South AfricaThis guesthouse is perfect for a beach-body who loves a scenic, tranquil and relaxing getaway. There is a trail for walking, jogging and/or running too! The sunset is gorgeous from the balcony and can be enjoyed with the wonderful sound of the waves too. It’s absolutely breathtaking and the staff is super friendly as well. Desré, the owner, goes out of her way to make you feel at home. She ensures that you are constantly kept updated with the loadshedding times, to avoid disappointment as well as the daily weather reports to properly plan your day/s too. The breakfast is wholesome, delicious and the presentation thereof is stunning too. I would definitely recommend anybody and everybody to come here! You won’t regret it.

United StatesI can find no fault in anything.
This is the best, most comfortable, most accommodating Guesthouse/B&B we have ever stayed at. The attention to detail from air fresheners in the bathroom through bed turndown chocolates through a departure gift, etc. are delightful. The sumptuous breakfast, excellent coffee and service at tables looking out over the sea and waves were a delight in themselves . Desre and Hester excellent managers. I can’t say enough about how pleasant our stay was.

Very lovely guesthouse with only a few rooms, and lots of love for detail. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. The guesthouse is a 10 mins drive from the “Centre” but its location at the beachfront is beautiful to start the day with a walk along the beach.

United KingdomTelevision was small and in a cupboard. No air con Also whilst room lovely thought we would have seaviews from our bed. We had to stand at the foot of the bed to get a sea view from a small window. One of our joys in SA in a number of locations was to wake up and see the sea - not possible in this room. Having said that it is a lovely guest house with exceedingly high standards. The staff are lovely and very helpful
Best breakfast we have ever had in SA. Views from breakfast room and upstairs lounge lovely. Easy parking Great staff Access to cliff path VERY easy.
