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 StatesVery little to complain about. If anything, it would be the creaky pine floors but honestly, that's part of the charm.
Were greeted by the owner. Provided fabulous history of the 19th century property. So tastefully decorated. Had a real charm hard to replicate. Views from the terrace and spectacular.

South AfricaSheena and Roly from Cottons Cottages provided all the extras. Many basic household consumables were already provided e.g. milk, eggs, dishwashing liquid, salt, pepper etc. There were already beach umbrellas, hats, books on the area, maps, binoculars, coolboxes etc. etc. - all items which cannot be transported per aircraft with limited luggage. Providing all the extras was really going the extra mile. Cottons Cottages is well located and in a safe area. You see and hear the waves on the beach and spectacular views of False Bay and the Simon's Town harbour. Braai facilities was excellent. With full kitchen, two large bedrooms, living room and two bathrooms there is ample space. The stoep area is a beautiful calm place to relax. Simon's Town is well located to Kalk Bay, Cape Point and Cape Town. We will visit again!

South AfricaA fence enclosing the garden would have been fantastic, as the dogs did run into the road, therefore had to be supervised at all times when outside and we had to lock them inside the house when we went out without them.
Cottage so beautiful and full of character...fantastic location near town and overlooking the ocean! Dog friendly beach just below the cottage was lovely. Clean and with all amenities included.

United KingdomWhat was not to like? The place is perfect!
This cottage is, quite simply a little gem of a place to stay. Superb views over the sea, lovely ambience inside the cottage, that is fully equipped for all eventualities. What is more, the host, Sheena, could not have been more welcoming and helpful to us when we arrived. Supermarket is conveniently located nearby, and it's only a half hour walk to get to the penguins at Boulders Beach. After a day of sightseeing, sitting the fire was a real treat, as we stayed in August, in what turned out to be a rather cold spell. It was certainly a change after our time camping in the bush! We all loved it and if we come back to Simon's Town, we'll certainly be looking to stay there again.
