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 AfricaI haven't got anything to add here. Maybe that I only booked for five nights and not 10.
Everything was more than perfect, and also more than expected. Our apartment is exceptional and will definitely return without a doubt. Our host Lauren, has to get a 20/10 for being in communication with us all the time when we needed her, even to the point of advising us on activities and good places to eat. Thank you very much-you are a real champion and made our stay unforgettable!

South AfricaThe wifi. unit 85's wifi doesn't show up on the available connections it's just the surrounding apartments. The instructions for connection says if the TV is connected to YouTube then the problem is your device(and if the problem is yours then they will call the guys who fix it at your own expense) which is kind of a scare really for the tenant. We checked the TV wifi and it was for apartment 97, meaning we never could have connect apartment 85's wifi because it's not there. So we ended up finding a way to find the password on the TV and connected to apartment 97's wifi...
The view was amazing , the place was clean, very convenient for a family. A perfect home way from home. The place is so quiet and relaxing. The privacy, self-catering, no one comes to disturb you wanting to clean the place while you are still there. Just a walk from the beach. We enjoyed the swimming pool. Everything is exceptional.

South AfricaBeds for most rooms were uncomfortable. The unit accommodates 6people but the dining table is only for 4. Not enough utensils to set the table, shower door was not closing properly.
Great location, close sea views, beautiful and quiet complex. It felt safe, walking distance to the beach. BBQ braai on the unit.

South AfricaThe unit was not as clean as expected. First thing we did when we arrived for a late check in, was make tea, but the cups were very dusty, had to wash them again. Lounge area was also dusty. No lighter was available for the gas braai. We loved spending time at the pool, but seating was not the best, maybe some comfortable pool loungers could replace the uncomfortable hard benches.
Awesome sea views and best sunrises. Easily accessible to the beach. Shower was amazing. Appreciated our lovely host sending us messages everyday.

South AfricaWalls need a few licks of paint in some spots to cover up dirt/ marks. Sofa in lounge needs replacing. These are small details that didn't take away from our stay but that will help to add to the overall premium feel of the place.

SwitzerlandJust a suggestion, instead of a small bar of soap in the bathroom, rather have a soap dispenser.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The Apartment is neat and has everything you require with a nice ocean view. The location is great, a short walk down the road to the beach and a short walk up the road to the Restaurants. Communication from the host was good, easy and convenient key collection and drop off.
