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.).

The room was clean and very spacious with a lovely touch of milk and coffee supplied. Breakfast was perfect!! It set us up for a big day of exploring Knysna. The location was fab too... I'd highly recommend a stay!!

South AfricaThe bathroom was clean and morden. However, the shower head was a bit low for me as I'm 1.62" tall.
The property is at the city center. Walking distance from the BnB to the mall, gas station, and other outlets. The host was amazing! He recommended places to visit and would later engage with us to find out how our day was and the activities we did during the day. We were well fed 🤭

South AfricaNothing to worry about :)
Excellent location for walking to lots of places in Central Knysna. I even walked to Thesen Islands. Very comfy bed and a lovely private room with its own bathroom. Nice little patio too. The bnb has its own special coffee blend that is delicious and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The pool was lovely too. Hosts were super helpful and friendly :)

Rudi’s place is so peaceful & in a great location. the lovely garden & swimming pool are definitely a bonus in Knysna. Safe, secure parking. Rudi is the perfect host, very attentive, friendly & goes the extra mile. We hope to return to SA in the near future & will definitely stay here again. Oh - did I mention the breakfast is exceptional. Excellent value for money all round at Aestas. Thank you so much Rudi!

South AfricaI could hear the people in the unit above my room walking around quite late. Consider putting a carpet down to minimise the sound travelling to the bottom rooms.
The beds were extremely comfy. Rudi was very helpful and one can see he has been in the industry a long time by attending to small things. He saw me doing yoga next to the pool and recommended other places in Knysna to do yoga outside. I loved the pool and the garden. The breakfast was really great.
