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.).

CroatiaEverything was perfect at Hout Bay Hilltop. The house is super clean and free of clutter but you have everything you need. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are very comfortable. The outside area is just perfect for a family or a group of friends with lovely views of the mountains. Marc was a great host and he always responded quickly.

GermanyA spacious house very nicely decorated with all the comfort one could think of. Marc is very welcoming and helps whenever needed. We felt very safe. A well equipped super market is close by, we had lunch at the beach and Chapman‘s Peak is right in front of your door. We had some bad luck with the weather. So we will come back when it is warmer to enjoy the pool and the terraces with the views!

United KingdomA very comfortable and spacious house, extremely well equipped. The lovely garden areas offer privacy and some gorgeous views. Only a 10 minute walk to a large Spa supermarket and pharmacy. 1km to the beach. The owner Marc lives close by and is easily contactable with any queries. Marc valiantly tried to fix a problem with our hire car on the day of departure. Europcar emergency number was not answered. So Marc drove his car to his local garage and brought back a technician to solve the problem. A wonderful gesture of kindness which will be remembered along side a holiday of complete relaxation in beautiful surroundings.

GermanyMarc the host was very accommodating. We arrived very early in the morning after an overnight flight. He allowed us to sleep in his flat which is adjacent to the property until the other guests left and the house cleaned. The photos do not do the property justice, there are 2 grill areas with outside tables and the house is very well maintained. We loved our stay and will stay again if we are back in Cape Town.

South AfricaThere were a few small niggles, but I have flagged them with the host and he's said he'll look into them. The biggest is that the largest bedroom currently has no privacy as the door to its entry is straight down the main bedroom passageway and made of glass, so everyone can see in at any time. A simple curtain over the doorway will solve this. Fans would also be good, as the bedrooms are hot because of all the glass. Almost every door in the house is glass, and some of these should be marked so it's easier to see when they're open, especially for people staying with children (my mother-in-law walked straight into one). For very young kids, the garden is not particularly safe. The stairs from the garage to the house are quite steep, and there's no boundary around the pool or the deck (which is built over an incredibly steep drop). However, practicality issues with one bedroom aside, the house is lovely for a group of adults or a family with older kids.
The kitchen and kitchen contents are far better set up than most self-catering places. There is enough crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment, plus a coffee machine and even a dishwasher. There's a double oven and all the kitchen contents are high-quality and functional. The view from the deck to the mountain is beautiful and the home has two braai (BBQ) areas - one on each side of the house - with outdoor tables and seating. Generally a very comfortable space and great for a family holiday or break with friends. The host, Marc, is very to the point and was available to help with keys, directions to shops, restaurant recommendations and even posting some items my in-laws left behind to them after we'd left. It's a 5min drive to the shops or beach, as well as numerous restaurants, and it's also near to several wineries.
