How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The flat needs a decent, deep clean. I didn't love the restricted beach access due to gate closing times (i.e. 4pm the gate closed from the pool area). Having said that, we could still walk to the beach another way around (through a deserted, adjoining shopping center). Also the pool area itself closed at 6pm daily - it would have been nice to go for evening swims. Speaking of, the pool is a big disappointment as it is very small and there is no seating area around the pool (too small to even have a seating area) - it built in an 'alley'.
The flat was really spacious and looked great. The kitchen was well equipped with extras like an ice maker and coffee machine (both of which could have done with a bit of clean though), washing machine, tumble drier (which we used a lot on the rainy days) and also a dishwasher, microwave and double door fridge and freezer. The bedrooms were a good size and there was ample packing space. The lounge was very comfortable!! Recliner couches to seat 6 people which we loved. The curtains are just aesthetic though, and the blinds don't close (broken), but we were on the 3rd floor so that wasn't too much of an issue. And the balcony was great - table and chairs for 8 people with a a great view of the Margate main beach. Also we had the best view in the house of the fireworks on New Years Eve which was a great surprise (although the partying on the beach did go on for A WHILE), but the windows and glass doors are double glazed, so they cut out noise very well. We did sleep with the doors open for most of the time we were though as there were no fans or air conditioning, and on HOT days, we did battle with that.

There are a few things that need to be fixed. I wanted to open the patio door directly facing the lounge for the breeze and view but it was unfortunately jammed. The bathroom lighting must please be brighter and the light and ignite button by the braai must be fixed. Otherwise, other things were minor.
The experience was great, excellent location and view. It was like a home away from home. It is a beautiful big apartment. My family were very impressed, well worth the money. We enjoyed the convenience of the gas braai and waking up to the beautiful sunrise over the waves as well as seeing the moon reflected on the ocean at night! Lovely place.

We were moved from unit 308 to unit 405. We are unable to report on the unit 405 through booking.com as we were told the host moved us and therefore the unit number with booking. Com can not be changed. I am therefore referring to unit 405. The fridge was faulty and all our food spoiled. We are south african and familiar with how a fridge should function despite load shedding. Our complaint was not responded to on the second day, and on day 3, just before we were leaving we were told that it was not faulty and there is unlikely to be any recourse. We just wanted a stress free three days away.
Location, cleanliness awesome
