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 gas geyser in the shower takes some getting used to, with unpredictable temperature changes. Somewhat limited counter space in kitchen for food preperation.
Fantastic views over the Knysna lagoon and heads! Spacious, clean and quiet, with good wifi. Quiet road, with little traffic. Safe and easy off street parking, behind security gate. Clean swimming pool. Janine was friendly and knowledgable about places to visit in the area.

Good location and great view. Janine waited for us despite us being delayed by weather-related traffic which was very kind of her. Good size room and kitchenette. Pity we didn't get to use the pool due to the weather as it looked lovely.

Janine was very kind to let us know everything we can explore about the Knysna and we followed it religiously to have the best time here. The apartment has a great view of the heads as well as the lagoon. Would definitely book again and recommend to others.

The location is excellent, on a quiet street but still close to shops and restaurants. The host was nice, considerate, and offered useful information about the stay and the area. The apartment is fantastic, very clean, and with a breathtaking view.

South AfricaBeautiful view of Thesen Island and the Heads. Also close to the main road. Room had enough space with a littlelounge area as well as well equipped kitchen Very steep uphill to get to this property, hence the beautiful view. The property also has a small well cared for pool and loungers. The dogs also had a nice area to roam in.

Exceptional accommodation and a superb hostess. Close to all amenities but just far enough away to be away from the hustle and bustle of a busy holiday town. Met on arrival by the hostess, quick explanation of everything on offer and then we were discretely left alone to get on with our holiday. Very impressed, would highly recommend.

South AfricaOn arrival there is no assistance with carrying of luggage which cabn be challenging if you have kids as the room from the parking area is a bit of distance with stairs etc. I feel like the accomodation is a bit misleading, as it states it's apartment when it's actually a room in a house that's been converted into an "apartment". The amenities in the room could use some upgrading. The bed was rather hard. There is also a bad odour coming from the bathroom and the door had to always be closed to contain the smell in the bathroom.
The location was close to the waterfront and nearby tourist attractions which made it was easy to see, especially having a child. The room was clean and provided what you would require for a stop over. The view from our room was amazing. The host is extremely helpful with providing places to eat and things to see.
