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 AfricaGreat break from a busy work schedule to R&R ,despite the weather being on the cooler side. Room ,view and property were great. Sleepy wilderness was a pleasant change from busy work routine. Early morning walk on the wilderness beach front ,only a flight of stairs away, and returning to an exceptional breakfast will be missed. Wilderness is also well placed to access the rest of the garden route gems that are only a short drive away. The owner, James,was very friendly and accommodating. Would not hesitate in recommending this as a destination on the garden route.

SwitzerlandJames, the owner of the B&B is a very interesting, welcoming host. Breakfast was the most varied and uncomplicated of our entire holiday. Parking was easy, the bed was big and comfortable and the view was stunning. Its a shame we only stayed for one night.

GermanyThe only thing I would recommend for improvement is to offer breakfast earlier than 8:30/9am as it might crash someone’s day trip plans.

Staying at the Dune villa Wilderness was the highlight of our holiday so far. A beautiful villa on the Ocean, with stunning views. Our room was spacious, very nicely decorated, with a large balcony overlooking the ocean. Access from the villa direct to the beach with wooden stairs James the owner is a lovely guy, hands on all the time , making sure all is in order. Breakfast had different varieties and very tasty. If we come again to this part of the world we will definitely stay here again.

The property has the most beautiful view out onto the beach which can be seen by every room. It’s in a great location, short drive to the national park for hiking and the town/ local shops. It was super clean and had free tea/coffee and snacks all day. James and his staff were lovely and went above and beyond to cater for you.

AustriaDune Villa in Wilderness is located in a beautiful spot. Rooms are spacious, very nicely decorated and clean. Views from the rooms or from the terrace and garden are spectacular. There is private access to the beach and we enjoyed every day the view, occasionally with dolphins and wales in sight, and listening to the ocean waves. Being just lazy with a book in a garden after all-what-you-wish-for breakfast or stepping down to the beach, this was a pure bliss. James, the owner, is a great host, making sure his guests are always feeling welcomed and attending to every wish. We couldn’t feel better during our stay and decided we will come again within the same trip! We definitely found a place where we will stay again when visiting South Africa next time!
