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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

IndonesiaOn our second night there was some guests in the below apartment, they were quite noisy and we had to use ear plugs to sleep. They also had a BBQ which caused quite a lot of smoke and smell to enter our apartment.

United KingdomNothing to dislike. Slight walk into Simonstown for nearly amenities but easy to get local taxis.
Great house in a stunning location with views over the ocean and of the nearby penguin beaches. Airy and spacious.

United KingdomThe penthouse is efficient and fully functioning though ageing a bit; bathrooms / blinds could do with an upgrade. When windy the windows rattle and noisy. Can’t walk to anywhere to eat (hotel below - only option - shut early when we were there early April). Noisy from our deck when kids in pool down below. The incredible view, the close proximity (short walk) to the penguins and the amazing coastal walk more than outweighs any of this.
We were in the Penthouse for two nights, and the sea view is quite breathtaking. The deck is huge and you can eat out there. The walking location to both the AMAZING Penguins and the wonderful coastal walks Boulders Bay offers is just amazing!

CanadaThe deck surface and stairs to the entrance could have used a good clean. The cleaning crew and agent arrived 20 minutes early on check out day and we felt rushed to vacate. The washer was old and not very good. But it’s a lovely place overall and we would not hesitate to recommend it.
Stunning views, spacious, good kitchen and living area. Nice and close to Boulders beach - just a short walk away. The host was very responsive and pleasant. We really enjoyed our stay.

United StatesDuring our last night, there was a rain storm. The noise was especially horrible downstairs and impossible to sleep. Thankfully, this was only one night. I wouldn’t want to stay there during the rainy season.
Excellent location for our planned adventures. The view of the ocean was wonderful from the deck. The bedrooms were comfortable. It would have been nice to have spent more than two days to fully enjoy the accommodations.
