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 AfricaWould have stayed longer!
Nadine was very welcoming and wonderfully accommodating. The venue was super comfortable and a truly special spot! The view is extraordinary and the venue is exactly what I needed. The trip offered exactly what I needed and I would definitely be back. It was quiet and the beach and coffee shops / restaurants are within walking distance. Loved it - will definitely be back!

South AfricaWhat an exceptional stay. Beautiful suite with everything one needs, easy access to amenities in the area. Great sea view and comfortable bed and pillows. Best nights sleep with the sound of the ocean. Worth more than the actual cost, cannot fault this guesthouse! Only problem is that I wish I was staying longer.

The whole Guesthouse is amazing. Nadine and her family helped me a lot with any question and every concern and were just very, very nice and supportive. It is so close to the beach that you can walk there (in a very safe area as well). I will definitely come again and will also tell my friends to stay at this place. 10/10 recommend it!

South AfricaThe bed is a little uncomfortable. But for our short stay was good. There are monkeys that come and visit unexpectedly, so you must keep the sliding door closed when you are not there, but this was not a deal breaker for us.
The view from our room was outstanding! We had a little Juliette balcony to sit out and watch the almost 180 degree view of the sea. The location was brilliant, one road away from the beach, so you still get all the lovely sounds of the sea, but it is not over whelming! The location of Fairview is in walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shops. Our unit was perfect for two people. The shower was fantastic and the little kitchen unit was perfectly equipped with everything that we needed during our stay. Nadine greeted us, slightly early that we had planned, which was lovely as we were ready to check in a little earlier. We saw whales and dolphins from our little balcony every day we were there! Fairview is a magical little slice guesthouse in a lovely quiet part of Salt Rock and the drive to more restaurants in Balito is just a short lovely drive along the coast road. We loved it!

South AfricaIt was the perfect spot as a solo traveller and offers privacy for couples and business travellers alike. An absolute treasure of a guest house. Nadine and Rodney are very welcoming and helpful. Felt safe and comfortable. Excellent view, close to the beach great coffee spots, restaurants and convenience shop. Those who are driving have access to a petrol station at the end of the road. No load shedding what a pleasure. Highly recommend

South AfricaRoom very very small. No table inside to sit and eat, had to sit on the bed. Also very small veranda, cast iron table and chair which is unusable on wet and windy days. Not for elderly people, lots of steps to climb up.
Sea View, easy parking. Salt Rock has nice beaches, plus good fishing. I recommend Siggi's and Salt Rock Hotel, just a walk away. Fairview Guest House is in a great location, nice garden and swimming pool.
