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 trees in the front of the house and opposite neighbours should be trimmed to allow for a better view of the sea.
The house was clean, spacious and had all the necessary appliances. The game area was a hit as well as the splash pool. The partial sea views and the short distance to the beach was also a bonus. The area itself is serene, quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

GermanyWe lived in Scarborough 20 years ago and have now come "home" full of anticipation. The village and the beach were, as always, indescribably beautiful but still relatively untouched. The house was an incredible recreation of the Scarborough flair we knew and loved. We will be back!

South Africathe temperature setting on the oven was not quite clear / faded.
The house is beautifully furnished, and tip top organized. Comfortable beds, pristine linen and towels, a homey feel and very clean. The whole set up of the house gives everyone enough privacy when needed, and yet come together in spacious surroundings when wanted. There are two large outside areas and we used them both. The morning porch and the evening get together with bbq, open fireplace, table tennis table in very good condition. Plenty of seating space all around. There are extra blankets for cooler evenings. The TV room is nicely situated and has a nice decor. The whole decor of the house was beachy / holidayish and comfortable. The showers are walk in and large. The master en suite bathroom is stunning with a large shower and inviting bath tub. I wish our stay was a bit longer to make use of all the house has on offer.

South Africathe externals like the emptying of the sewage whilst on site and the electrical and water issues. These were however communicated and external factors that we could live around. The TV was the only internal issue. We don’t usually need it but it was disruptive to have the swop and then finding it didn’t work in the end.
location, fire place, table tennis, dart board. The proximity to the ocean and the good communication from Salie.

South AfricaThe walk-through bedroom is not private and we had to make last minute arrangements for our guests to stay elsewhere. The pool is not safe for young children and should be covered with a net. None of the hosts answered their phones to help us setting the gas oven during the first night, however, one of them did come the next morning to assist.
I liked the location, overall accommodation good, cleanliness, view of the ocean from the top floor, wifi was good.

South AfricaPROPERTY WAS MISREPRESENTED PHOTOS OF POOL DID NOT SHOW HOW SMALL POOL ACTUALLY WAS AND POOL WAS FILTHY ON ARRIVAL - CALLED THE OWNER WHO SENT POOL CLEANERS NEXT MORNING TO CLEAN POOL. NO INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO WORK GAS STOVE ATTENDING SITE MANAGER WAS NOT THERE AND NOT CONTACTABLE - CALLED 7 X TO GAIN ACCESS TO PROPERTY AS KEY STICKS IN DOOR LATCH AND DOES NOT MOVE. CALLED THE OWNER WHO TOLD US TO LEAVE THE NEXT MORNING AND WOULD PAY THE MONEY WE HAD PAID BACK. WHEN I SAID I WOULD NOT LEAVE AS I HAD PAID TO STAY THERE HE OFFERED TO SEND A BUNCH OF WORKMAN TO REPAIR THE PROBLEMS WHICH I DECLINED AS WE HAD COME TO RELAX NOT TO SUPERVISE HIS WORK PEOPLE WHEN ON SITE MANAGER DID ARRIVE HE SAID HE WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE AS LATCHES AND SLIDING LOCKS BROKEN OR STUCK OR HAD NO MOVING PARTS TO MOVE THEM. THE FRIDGE DID NOT COOL DOWN THE FOOD. BASICALLY THE PROPERTY IS WORN OUT AND A NUMBER OF ITEMS NEED REPLACING AND REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE WORK IS DESPERATELY NEEDED. IT IS MARKETED AS A LUXURY PROPERTY WHEREAS IT IS VERY VERY RUSTIC . THE OWNER DID REFUND OUR FULL PAYMENT BUT OUR BIRTHDAY WEEKEND WAS RUINED BY HIS UNPLEASANTNESS AND THE SITE MANAGER LACK OF CARE AND ATTENTION AND I WOULD DEFINATELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY AND IT IS TOTALLY OVERPRICED.
