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 AfricaFriendly nature of the host. Exceptional view from and cleanliness of the apartment. It is a fabulous stay for a small family, especially an overnight stay. Even though we had to be aware of the baboons, it did not negatively impact our stay.

United StatesThere are some minor changes that could make this apartment much more comfortable. 1. Create a desk area near an electrical outlet 2. More comfortable bar stools with wheels 3. A larger kitchen trash can 4. A coffee maker and scissors in the kitchen 5. Create a designated outside space with a BBQ grill for the renters 6. Better battery operated lighting for load shedding periods, especially for the bathroom 7. A cover for the trip hazard at the sliding glass door between rooms Eventually, as the planet warms, air conditioning will be required. Be aware, access is via steep outside steps.
Very friendly, hospitable, helpful interesting host! Gorgeous view of the beautiful coastline! A great, upscale bathroom. Plenty of space! The value would be excellent for 3 or 4 people traveling together.

IndiaThe location was perfect!! The beach was right across the road and it's a walking distance to see the penguins. The neighborhood was quiet but friendly. Francois was helpful and informative. He was always just a message away, in case we needed anything. People around the place very friendly and went out of their ways to guide us.

IndiaI loved the location and the views. The beach was just across the road and if you walk a bit further for around 10 minutes, you can see the penguins. The place had everything we needed. It was spacious and could easily accommodate 4 persons. There were heaters in the room and a electric comforter for heating the bed. It is a short distance from the Cape of Good Hope and the hosts were friendly and extremely helpful.

AustraliaGetting your luggage in and out is a bit awkward because of the stairs and having to keep doors closed and locked in case baboons arrive. The owner is very willing to help you with that though.
