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 AfricaConfirm which floor/apartment will you be staying at. The images on the boking site create an impression that you are booking a penthouse, it was only when we arrived that we realized it's a 3 story building with multiple apartments and we did not stay at the penthouse we were looking forward to.
Excellent location, very neat and clean with quality finishes, very helpful host who helped recommend go to places and arranged some of the bookings for us.

Wonderful location, clean, good WiFi, comfortable beds and quality linen. Quiet ( except when the generator was running). The host was excellent. Very helpful and responded to all queries and gave suggestions. Great to have a Braai facility and large fridge freezer. Washing machine a plus.

Beacon House is out of this world. It is a gem!!! Located in the eastern head, in close proximity to popular restaurants, lagoon beach, and heads' view points. The apartment we stayed in was exquisite, from its well appointed bedrooms, to comfy seating areas, and to wrap around expansive balcony overlooking the ocean and the lagoon . Ohh the staff is amazing. Always available to help. Prompt, proactive and on point! We have made ourselves a promise to come back to this place again and again when we visit Knysna!

MauritiusNothing to complain
The location of the house and the views over the island and the sea are simply superb. The house is very clean, nothing to complain about. It has a fully functional kitchen, modern amenities, and comfortable beds, among others. It's so nice to be inside the house after a long day out. The host, with its management team, is the best I've dealt with so far. The host even arranged for a catamaran tour at a reasonable price. Great suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants. I initially booked for one night and ended up with 2 nights. I'll definitely stay again at this apartment. Strongly recommended. My rating is 10/10.

I travelled with family. We booked Penthouse 6. It’s neat, spacious, lovely and luxurious. Clean linen. The staff is amazing. Amarille is an excellent host. She welcomed us and took us through the finer details upon checking in. She even recommended good restaurants nearby. A crib was arranged for my baby. She went out of her way to courier an item we forgot at the establishment. Beacon House has a generator, so no need to worry about loadshedding. It’s a place to be! Did I mention it’s luxurious!
