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 KingdomUnfortunately the generator wasn't working and there were massive amounts of load shedding/power faults so we didn't have any aircon or water during this time and it was very, very hot! And if you think it will at least be peaceful & quiet think again, because we had to listen to the neighbours generator the whole time 😅 It is mentioned that you can hear the road but we didn't expect it to be quite as busy as it was during the day - you can't hear it as much in the cabins with air conditioning on though and it isn't busy at night. Some of the aircon units were quite noisy, especially coming back on after load shedding it does tend to wake you up. I used ear plugs but it also vibrates through the floor and bed.
The cabins have been tastefully decorated with plenty of shelves & storage areas. There is a separate kitchen which is very well stocked in terms of kitchenware, a gas stove, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, deepfreeze & ice maker! And a nice braai area by the pool with picnic benches and some hammocks were also put up. The pool & gardens are lovely, the pool is shaded in the afternoon so luckily it has a chance to cool down enough to be refreshing when it's so hot outside! The staff are friendly and attentive. There is a smaller one-bed unit next to the main one which isn't rented out to anyone else during your stay, and the owner was kind enough to let us make use of that one as well!

JapanThe shower wasn't very hot, and the toilet didn't flush well, however, they said that they would have a look at it, so it might be fixed by the time someone else books.
The apartment was really nice and the internet stable, which was a big worry for us, as we worked remotely from there. When the electricity went off, there was a generator that they switched on for a while.

South AfricaNothing.
Great timely communication with the host and Drieke. Fantastic social area around the braai/pool area. The host arranged for a group of 4 (a couple, 2 singles) to stay in the main house and a cabin. Water pressure in the showers and bath were fantastic. Both were super comfortable and very vey clean. The kitchen was well stocked. Also really enjoyed having Frikile help around the house. One of the best accomodation we have had on holiday with mates.

South AfricaA suggestion going forward that there be a handrailing to assist the elderly or physically impaired by the areas that have stairs.
The pool/kitchen/braai area was amazing and we spent many hours relaxing there. The rooms were lovely and the decor was chique yet so beach vibey. We were a large family group and never did we feel cramped, the place is spacious. We loved EVERYTHING about it. The service from Driekie, Fikile and John were superb and they catered to our EVERY need! Without a doubt I will rebook with Antibootika if I ever get to visit Sodwana again.

South AfricaThere was unfortunately no electricity from the time we arrived until the next day. The host was absolutely amazing in keeping the generator on for us but in the night we couldn't get water as the pumps weren't working. I must say, the host really made it comfortable for us at a time when the entire area had no power!
The host as well as the staff were amazing and so friendly! It's well situated and a good drive from the beach as well as the parks
