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 unit we chose was advertised as small fenced garden...it was very small fenced area with no real garden just small patch of false grass. Unit in need of a little TLC. ... But new owners.
Host very friendly. Beautiful general gardens and pool area. Free safe parking. Location to the beach was a 10min easy walk.

South AfricaThe lights did not work in the bathroom and in the main bedroom. The plugs also did not work in the main room. They told us that not all the lights and plugs worked during load shedding, because of the solar system. But after load shedding was finished it still did not work. We also did not have enough toilet paper for the 1 night.
We had a lovely short stay. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Perfect rooms to stay with kids. The patio was great outside. Beautiful garden and pool area. Kids loved watching the Koi fish.

South AfricaPlease check all the blankets in the cupboard. There was one light grey and white (I think) . It had a very bad smell. The rest of the blankets were clean, thank you for that. We had hot water and enjoyed our showering time until the last day ..... please check what was the problem as we had to use cold water. I also realized that when having a challenge I should make a phone call not send WhatsApp message (lol) as you respond very fast on calls.
The place is beautiful and the people are welcoming. We had a great time, it's definitely a home away from home. I will definitely come back ! We arrived very late as we were from Gauteng and most restaurants were closed. (She) I think it's the owner arranged for us to have something to eat. We had a delicious dinner, you are a blessing. In the room we had everything we needed including the sugar and milk ha ha ha ..... Thank you. From the time when I made a booking I received notifications regarding my booking and they made sure that I got everything I needed. Thank you.

South AfricaLots of steps from street level to our room - not a real problem - I think we needed the exercise.
Beautiful garden - reminded me of Bali. Lovely pool with bar area, amazing plants and a stunning koi pond. All very well put together. Heinz was really friendly.

South AfricaGenuinely nothing to say here!
Friendly staff, daily cleaning, easy walk to the beach, welcomed our doggies with opened arms, safe, secure in garage parking, modern facilities, towels and bedding done. All the luxuries of a 5-star! Loved everything! The weather was perfect all 10 days and for some reason the lodge was so exceptional we didn’t even leave it to go to the beach on a couple of days - we just stayed there, ordered Uber Foods and relaxed at our home away from home! Mom, daughter (16) and niece (20) with our 3 doggies!
