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 AfricaIt would be nice to provide very basic things, like coffee, sugar, tea, shower gel and shampoo and a little bottle of lotion. The toilet needs fixing. Bath tab and shower could be modernized to make it even more nicer . It would be nice to park car right in front of the flat instead of parking at the parking which is a level up and far away from the flat. It was not easy finding the place. The security guard was kind enough to allow us to park in front of the flat. The couch feels/looks like it might collapse under one. Needs checking/replacement.
The Wifi was great. Place was very clean and cosy. Linen clean.

South AfricaAlthough not a major issue and it certainly didn't dampen the stay, but passage lights don't work neither did the two beside lights. One didn't have a globe and the other was unplugged. No idea where to plug in without moving the heavy beds. There was only one wine glass. The tumble dryer didn't work although it was plugged in and switch up. The pedestrian gate didn't work either but again, not a major issue. This is a bit nit-picky and I'm sure it's because we are spoilt and use bath sheets at home, but being tall people, bigger bath towels could have been provided.
The fact that it suited our requirements perfectly, had an ample view of the sea and easy access to the beach. The unit was clean and the bonus was the undercover and safe parking for the car. Ballito / Chaka's Rock / Salt Rock are not short of great places to eat out and as we were celebrating an anniversary (i.e I wasn't cooking), we were thoroughly spoilt with some delicious meals. The beaches are generally clean. The boardwalk provides a lovely option to view the scenery, but then again, NOTHING beats the feel of the sea sand underfoot and waves lapping around your ankles. The take-away shop along the path to the beach, sells awesome soft serve ice-cream which was very refreshing along our walks. That part of the coastline will always hold magical memories for us.

South AfricaAlthough when making the booking through booking.com, there is a section asking estimated time of arrival and preferred check-in time, we noted for arrival and check-in from 11am. When nearing Ballito, we contacted the property at 10:30 only to be told we are only able to check in from 3pm (which is the norm) but what is the point of mentioning and expected time of arrival/check-in if this is simply ignored? At no point from time the booking was made till the check in date were we told no and that the expected time of arrival/check-in cannot be accomodated.
Easy check-in/check-out. Very neat, tidy and spacious apartment. Great value for money. Amaizing sea views. Relaxed enviroment and well maintained complex. Less than a five minute walk to the beach and tidal pools. Close to shops and other amenities.
