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 KingdomOutstanding! A blissful paradise. Hosts were delightful and openly shared their beautiful home with us. The hosts could not do enough for us and the other guests and we were so sorry to leave them. They provided the most outstanding breakfast and their home was beautiful, spotlessly clean and awe inspiring . Thank you so much.

Linda was extremely helpful when we made our booking advising on some very good restaurants. The house is beautifully styled and the room spacious and overlooking the pool and lovely garden. Excellent breakfast beautifully presented. Ole was also very helpful giving advise on the roads parking, the local market etc. One of the key benefits of staying in a boutique guest house. We had a very enjoyable time.

Aquavit is an extremely comfortable and immaculate guest house with wonderful views over Plettenberg Bay. Our hosts Ole and Linda were charming and went out of their way to be helpful and ensure that we all had a great visit. They also provide the most fabulous breakfasts that will certainly keep you going all day!

United KingdomNothing except that we could not swim at the beach due to a recent shark attack!
This small B & B is more of a boutique hotel than a B & B. It is beautiful in every way - like walking into the pages of House and Garden magazine. The views from the terrace and the rooms are stunning and the two pet dogs are great company. If you are artistic, you will really enjoy Aquavit as the whole building is filled with beautiful paintings, drawings and sculptures. The building itself is gloriously light and airy. Breakfast is also a work of art; you will not need any lunch! Linda and Ole are charming hosts as are their staff. There's lots to do in and around Plettenberg and we recommend meals at the Fat Fish on the front.

South AfricaThe wife’s behaviour was offensive. Shouted at us and gave us wrong orders and insisted it’s what we ordered. Also instructed the helper to clear our table while we were still eating. We cud not even stay for our last breakfast.
The husband and their stuff treated us so well.

South AfricaThe owners, whilst they are “pleasant” they don’t posses the ability to be genuinely caring. Breakfast is strictly at 9am. You may only have one croissant and no more than 3 mini sausages!!! it’s not a place you can just “chill”. We were there for 4 nights and could not wait to leave. It such a shame as the property is beautiful, but if as a guest you are made to feel you walk on eggshells - it’s not a great experience.
it’s a beautiful house overlooking the bay and lagoon. The rooms are well appointed and clean. three of the rooms lead off to an infinity pool. the breakfasts delicious and light (I generally don’t eat breakfast)
