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 KingdomWe found the cupboards in the kitchen are installed high - being a short family, we struggled to reach things.
Nice two bed cottage with lovely terrace with sea view and well maintained little garden. Easy walk to Boulders Beach, Windmill Beach and the boardwalk to the viewing platform. Great to have access to the pool too! Quiet, didn't often see or hear other guests staying. Sheltered from the wind - a plus when we were there.

GermanyEverything was perfect.
Heather was a super friendly host and always provided us with all the relevant information (e.g. regarding load shedding). The check-in and check-out process was super easy and comfortable. We stayed in the honeymoon suite and it was simply stunning - especially the view. The cooking equipment and cleanliness were also excellent. If we come back to Cape Town, we will definitely stay here again.

United KingdomOnly thing was the windows in the room didn’t fit too well so they made a lot of noise with the stormy, windy weather we unfortunately had during our stay.
Very comfortable and clean with great facilities. Amazing views of Boulders Beach and the penguins. Excellent location within walking distance of Simon’s Town. Owners very helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended place to stay.

South AfricaUnfortunately only one bathroom, for four adults to share is not ideal, especially at the rate been charged.
Great location & view. Pretty & sheltered garden, with lovely birdlife. Fully equipped kitchen, with thoughtful touches like rusks & milk etc. Products in the bathrooms & a wonderful big shower with excellent water pressure :) Wood for the fireplace, an honesty bar at the pool area & backup lighting everywhere for loadshedding. Wifi & a welcome guide. Personal recommendations for things to do from John.

When we entered the room we were completely consumed by the view...however there's so much more than the view... the whole suite is amazing including comfort and the amenities it offers to its close proximity to visit the penguins at Boulders Beach. Heather has thought of everything and responded really quickly when needed Thank you!

ItalyThe view is nice, but you can’t really see the penguins. They are quite far away and on the side. If you stretch your head you can see something, but I wouldn’t say you can see the penguins from there comfortably.
Very nice room. Super clean and well decorated. It had Netflix, which is a plus for us. The host was nice and gave us some good information for our stay. You can walk in 5 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes to the penguins reserve.
