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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

KuwaitThere were some water and electrical issues which the owner had sorted while we were there. It wasn't an imposition though since the owner gave access to adjacent rooms for us to use while the issue was being sorted.
The manager and owners were superb. They made sure to make the stay as convenient and pleasant as possible. They also recommended a great restaurant close by. The kitchen was cute and cozy as well with a very convenient setting of the stove and workspace. The views from the common area was also fantastic.

South AfricaFinding the way to Coffee Bay is a mission. It's fun and adventurous but a warning would be nice. The road is not easy access and there are some detours. So maybe communicate with the accommodation before you head out. They were really helpful thought but yo... It was a mission
The staff was very nice and helpful. We had a lovely two days there and the facilities were quite nice. Unfortunately there was an unexpected power outage (not planned loadshedding) but that's Noones fault so we had a good time.

South AfricaWould help if there is a sign where the place is. No signs. I passed the place even with direction. I sign would definitely help to locate the place.

South AfricaEverything. It's a terrible schack with no car park. Everything about it was terrible. Didn't even take a bath cause of the smelly bathroom. Bedroom had terrible smell. The only reason I stayed was because I had nowhere else to go. Never go there. I wonder how bookings. Com can advertise such a place and encourage unsuspecting people to go there

South Africavery different picture painted on the website, the place is in dire need of an upgrade. The gate behind which your car is, kept should be motorized, in the description of Eagles Nest there should be a better description of the actual accommodation, whilst in might be appealing to an overseas tourist as South African, we know the risks of living in South Africa and this place is deep rural.
The area is beautiful in general but the location that we stayed in was not,

South AfricaThere was very little that we didn’t like - the only thing would maybe be the cleanliness of the common area living room. The couches felt quite dirty and leaked on. I didn’t mind an awful lot because I liked the rustic feel of the place - that was part of the charm!
The location was superb. There was a fantastic sea view and the accommodation was a very quick walk to the beach and all other amenities. The location was truly ideal. The owners/hosts at the hostel were super friendly and very accommodating. They always checked in without being invasive and they helped with every request. They were friendly and very helpful. I also enjoyed the option to relax in the common area as well as in our bedroom. The entire holiday was incredibly relaxing and very enjoyable.
