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 AfricaWe had a pleasant one night stay at Haven on Hoopoe. The accommodation was perfect and the room facilities had everything that we needed for our short stay. The small kitchenette was helpful to heat up some food and to store our cold stuff in the refrigerator. There is also an outside braai, but we did not use it. We loved it to sit outside under the big old tree's shade and to enjoy our meals there. Lesley is a friendly host and she accommodates our extra needs of leaving our luggage in the courtyard so that we could do a morning beach walk to Gericke's Point. Thanks for your hospitality! Greetings Elmarie & Johann

South AfricaThe spacious garden allowed us to sit under this huge tree for snacks or meals. Very peaceful with interesting plants around. The little covered personal courtyard gave opportunity to sit outside even in rain. The venue was in a peaceful area - no night noises to disturb our rest. The hosts were really helpful and friendly. They had DVDs available for entertainment when rain prevented an outing. And excellent value for money, given all that

Comfortable bed, clean and neat room. Kitchenette, offering complimentary tea and coffee. Has everything you need for a short stay. Lovely garden setting outside under a big tree. Friendly hosts. Place is ideally situated close to the main road, which you can take to drive to Knysna which is about 20 km away. Close to a PnP and a Spar for convenient shopping.

South AfricaOnly problem is space in bedroom. i know you cannot change that, but very small. MOST Frustrating when you cannot watch DSTV. Need to watch World Events like French Open Tennis final, Wimbledon, Comrades Marathon, World Cup Soccer or Rugby, Golf or Cricket. DSTV is a MUST these days. People can watch movies at home or at Ster Kinekor.
You have the most fantastic double bed mattress. Great sleep. Very refreshing sleep when travelling. Great braai area. Cosy place!!! Most hospitable owners. Every attention to detail is covered. Well done Mike and Lesley!!!
