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 kitchen was missing dishtowels and washing up liquid, as our stay was for only one night, this is something that would have helped a lot.
The location was great, the extra outdoor space was fabulous and the space in the rooms were good. The hostess was responsive to our needs especially during load shedding.

South AfricaI actually have nothing much to say about the accomodation cause I just stayed for 3hours and left. Welcoming of staff can be improved that sets the tone of the stay, one feels very unwelcome.

South AfricaUnfortunately the DSTV channels are limited and there was no nearby plug to use our own smart TV box.
The big bed and comfy duvet made sure of a good nights sleep and the location is very close to the beach.

South AfricaThe shower would leak throughout the night preventing us from sleeping, yet the shower handles wouldn't open so we were also unable to use the shower, causing us to leave without being able to clean ourselves which was extremely frustrating. Also the place had a horrible smell and the couch was filthy.
The beds were comfortable.

South AfricaThe fact that they are using gas' gysers that could not be properly contlolled.
The location was good with shopping malls within less than 5km and the beach not so far away. I liked that the property is very secure. Apart from the water temperature that switched from hot to cold in the middle of a shower, my stay was good.

United StatesIt was not clear from the Booking site what the address was. Apparently, we went to the old address. We notified the owner, so it should be corrected by now.
We were welcomed by the owner and felt very much at home at Kelzane. The location was perfect - only a short walk to the beach.
