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 AfricaThe cottage was cosy, homely and well-appointed, containing all one needs in a very good central location. Staff and reception were friendly and welcoming and the cottage had good quality linen and towels , ample kitchenware and extras like a beach umbrella and beach chairs, hair dryer and iron, all much appreciated. A great stay.

South AfricaThe fridge is a little small for 4 people as our sons have huge appetites, but luckily shops are very close and convenient for restocking.
Loved the little garden with undercover eating area. Perfect to be able to eat outside and dry things even in the rain. The space worked well for our family of 4. We also felt very safe being away from the street and parking was secured with electric gate.

South AfricaThe fridge woke me up a few times in the night. There is a buildlng renovation next door with banging starting at 7-30am one morning. I am sure this is temporary.
Our host was amazingly accommodating- allowing us to come a week early with no warning. Thank you! We were welcomed as if we were family! The children loved the friendly dog. The neighbourhood was beautiful and very close to the beach and shops. There is plemty of space in the Rose room with a large spotless bathroom. We enjoyed using a little outdoor seating area and the car was safe in a secure parking space. There is a gas heater and fireplace for use in winter (bring your own fire starters).

United KingdomThat we didn't stay longer.
Lovely stay, unfortunately only two nights but had a wonderful time. The log burner made the room beautifully warm at night. Jan was very accommodating, allowing us to park our car early on the first day to allow us to get a taxi to the wineries. The second day we had an amazing experience watching the whales from a boat. Later on in the day we could also see them breaching from the shore. The comfortable and very homely accommodation was only a short walk from the seafront and loads of restaurants. We absolutely loved it here and couldn't recommend it enough, a real must and we will definitely stay here again. Thank you.
