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 AfricaOut of Pieters control but regrettably load shedding was at the most inconvenient times, so long and so frequent. Not sure how businesses keep operating!
The cleanliness - nothing better than going to sleep on crisp, clean white linen!! Hospitality 110% The lodge is right on the beach with great views.

South AfricaWe had to ask for the exact location as there currently isn't a sign, but Google took us directly there.
Had an absolutely pleasant time at Black Rock Lodge in Port Edward. The host, Pieter, made us feel welcome from the very minute we stepped into the lodge. Pieter even gave us a room upgrade because we were one of two guests checked in for the night. The room over looked the sea and we could hear the waves clashing against the rocks. The breakfast was amazing, the room was spotless, the bed was soooo comfortable. I would recommend this accommodation to any one looking for an affordable comfortable stay.

SwitzerlandThere is no sign to let you know that you are at the right place. We ended up parking next door at the wrong place. The room was very noisy because the room next door had a bathroom ventilation system that filtered into ours. Therefore, we could hear our neighbors brushing their teeth. The place is a little bit pricey (no swimming pool) compared to other places we stayed at during our vacation. We stayed in a lot of +9 places during our vacation and this one didn't meet our expectations but it was a correct stay.
The location by the sea is great. It is also close to the red desert and not far from the beach. Our room was very big and had air conditioning. Breakfast was good.

South AfricaThere was nothing not to like, but wheat and gluten free products would be appreciated.
The warmth by the host, Pieter. We arrived quite late and had a puncture on the way about 2 hours away, resulting in our being another hour later than scheduled - 22h30 and he stayed up and was ready to take our call and to direct us. He also took a lot of trouble to cook an additional dish for me at breakfast to make up for not having gluten free bread.

South AfricaExtremely dissatisfied, frustrated, dissapointed etc not being able to shower/bath due to NO water in the shower/bath taps whatsoever!!!! We have just packed up house and had been "sweating like pigs"! There were barely enough water to rinse my mouth after brushing my teeth! There was however water for flushing the loo. The current water contingency plan IS NOT working!

South AfricaI did not like the owner, making subtle passes at me. The room was not sea facing and did not have a patio like I had seen in the photo's on booking.com. The price was also not what I would have paid given that it didn't even have a view. The toilet was leaking and made a dripping sound the whole night.
I liked that the owner was friendly and accommodating given that I arrived in the evening.
