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 AfricaThere was an issue with the electricity. Unfortunately city power was not having a good week. But the thing I didn't like was that the backup power was not reaching the unit I booked properly. It would go off for long periods, or come on and off multiple times. That for me was the downer as I booked the place due to availability of backup power.
Sash was an amazing host, always availing himself for my questions and queries. The place is beautiful, my kids really enjoyed playing in the sand and water. Really enjoyed the beach vibes and the restaurant serves amazing food. I would definitely book another stay, but maybe more in the summer so we can enjoy more of the water since it was super cold at this time.

South Africasecurity made it so difficult for us to access the premises. he sweated at us. the security was so bad that we regretted booking at the Blyde. the security particularly Thomas (a Tsonga guy) made it impossible for us to enjoy our stay. he sweared at us, and made us wait for more than an Hour. after that they didn’t give us a small paper that could allow us entry and exit so I was stuck in the premises.
clean and host was friendly. However the security, regardless many times of being told by the host to open for us chose to not open. when they finally did they didn’t give us proper paper work. I could not go out in the morning to buy my son some wipes. they chose to still ignore us regardless of many times of asking. the security is terrible and unnecessarily judge-mental

South AfricaThe apartment was on the second floor and I have a knee problem.I wish that the specifications were listed prior.. I love tea and I was happy that there was tea and coffee facilities but the teabag container did not have a lid. Even if it is self-catering but can the guests atleast find 2 bottles of water and atleast a pint of fresh milk?😊 There were cockroaches all over the place,we killed a few. There was no toilet spray,we had to buy our own.🙄 The bedding was a total no🤭 The towels smelled damp..like they were never put in a fabric softner🤨 We had to move some of the furniture from the sitting room to the bedroom so that we may have a place to put cushions and other things,and also so that I may have a side table to put my phones on as there's only one in the bedroom.
The atmosphere was fantastic,it was easily adaptive,home away from home I should say. The security guys were very helpful,from at the gate to the lifestyle center,very friendly guys. The shower was nice..and the apartment was neat. There were tea and coffee facilities(no fresh milk though) Wifi connection was best😊 The pool side🥰💃🏻 The restaurant is very nice,and the music 👌

South AfricaThe time issue and limitations at the beach. It would more beautiful if one was allowed to explore the place before check in. We were only allowed in the place at 2, got to the Beach around 3 n at 6 the beach closes . So we spent literally 3 hours in the beach. The next day for check out we are not allowed to go to the beach ... the apartment rules we understand completely.
The place is beautiful, its heavenly and very quiet. I enjoyed my time there.
