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.).

United KingdomNot a dislike, but there is the odd baboon in the area so important to close and lock your doors when you go out.
Very welcoming. Garth, Natalie and team did everything to make our stay magical. Always on hand to answer any questions. Thank you also to Peter for cooking us a fabulous evening meal as well as all of those tasty breakfasts. The view is simply jaw-dropping. It is worth paying a bit extra for the Sunrise room if it is available.

South AfricaThere was n bad smell in the room, and only two small windows to open. I'm sure if we took this up with the owner we would've been able to move rooms, but since we only stayed one night we remained in the room. The views were amazing, but walking to the beach is a challenge. It's very steep...definitely worth the view though.
The staff was amazing. The breakfast was above expectations. The views were breathtaking. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms are large with everything you need. There is a very calming and healing energy all over the premises. This is where you come to heal.

BelgiumNot much we didn’t like.
Near boulders beach and the small town of Simons town. The view from the house is beautiful. The host was very welcoming and happy to help out and give recommendations (also easy instructions and communication via WhatsApp). The apartment was clean, we had a tv with Netflix, good internet and all the basics you need (shampoo, 2 water bottles etc). The place was in a safe guarded place. The staff was very kind, the breakfast has all needed.

South AfricaThe room we stayed in wasn't specifically the room that we booked. The owner suggested that it was an upgrade. The view was better but the room was smaller.
The views. This place has some stunning views of false bay. Gaze outside the windows and you never now what you'll see in the ocean - we managed to catch a site of some whales. The breakfast was great and the stay was pleasant overall.
