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 AfricaThe room was noisy. Can hear the people next door in their bathroom through the walls. The room was advertised as “sound proofing” but it was noisy.
Amazing location with a homelike feel.

My family and I liked everything, the interior layout of the suite, furniture, facilities, and cleanness and on top of all the welcoming stuff that made the stay joyful and not to forget about the testy dinner we had at night at very beautiful scenic views of the sky and sound of ocean waves. Special thank you to Ashly who hosted our dinner.

SwitzerlandFantastic views towards the Knysna Lagoon and the Heads (link to the ocean). Lovely decorated rooms, very clean, decorated with great attention to detail. Lovely surrounding on Leisure Island, great for sports (jogging, biking, canoe), coffee shop and restaurants on the island. Very kind and professional staff. A must see/stay!

BotswanaOnly small thing was the hairdryer plug was behind the fridge so I found it a little awkward to plug in then do my hair. Such a small small detail :(
Everything was simply beautiful. We had always seen the Guest House and never had the chance to stay. It was the perfect end to our trip to Knysna and we will not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

South AfricaThe insulation between the rooms was very poor. We could hear the shower running from the adjacent rooms. Very irritating.
The breakfast was great. Also dinner. We loved the fact that the pricing (same for the wine) was reasonable. The view of one of the rooms over the lagoon was fantastic. The view of other 2 rooms were ok.

The hotel is beautifully located at the see shore. They provide canoes and bikes to enjoy yourself. I had a suite that was very spacious and provided any luxury. The diner is for guests only and was excellent.

United KingdomMy wife and I recently completed a three night stay at Amanzi as part of a two week holiday from the UK. The room was a good size with lovely views and was kept very clean. We dined in the restaurant twice and the food was delicious. The breakfasts were excellent. We found all the staff to be helpful and friendly and would not hesitate to recommend Amanzi to anyone looking to stay in Knysna.

United KingdomThe property could benefit from a little upgrading, some areas needed redecorating / new carpets but nothing was really bad. It is just showing signs of being well used. This however didn’t detract from our stay.
View, location. Staff were amazing couldn’t have been more helpful. The location of the property could not be better overlooking the lagoon, lots to see locally. I would recommend this property. Food was good.
