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 only thing that could be a plus is to put safety gates on sliding doors so you can keep the doors open during a nap without having to worry about Monkeys visiting and/or an aircon. Other than that our stay was perfect & homely

GermanyIt has been a little unlucky, there hasn't been a baby high chair.
House is located high above Knysna so that you have an amazing view over the bay. Room has been very spacious. Host has been very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice.

This is the best fruit art I have seen in any hotel or B+B and she did it differently every morning. Fresh fruit with such a big variety. Full continental breakfast's for each and every guest with a nice cup of coffee, Clean rooms with fresh towels daily, , games to play, books to read, daily laundry service, Sundowners on the lovely stoep overlooking the Knysna Lake in the evenings, seeing the birds going home at night, the lights over the lake at night, the manageress's advice of what to do in the area helped us to get to the Heads view point, the beach, the hiking trail, church on Christmasday etc.

GermanyKnysnaviews is a gem. The lakeview room have an incredible view and the interior is lovely. It has everything you need, including coffee and tea in the room. The room and bathroom is very spacious and especially the bathroom is very modern and practical with shower & tub. It has a huge balcony which is furnished and inviting. We loved that it is petfriendly as well and our pup loved it too. Franz is super nice and caring, really a lovely host. His breakfast is divine and he will take care of all your questions and wishes.

RussiaKnysna after COVID has only 1 taxi in the town and no Uber service. If you are planning to go for a wine dinner you must have at least 1 person to be driving and no drinking. Franz gave us a drive down the centre but walking back up in the darkness of the night is not really viable. So waiting for the only 1 taxi took a bit of time.
We enjoyed everything! Rooms are light and spacious, Franz and Mudge are excellent hosts. Nice views from balconies, towards the hill (garden view) and overlooking the city. Located about 1.5 km up the hill from the centre and quite steep therefore you can see all harbour. Breakfast is very nice! If we didn't have something we could always ask and get it, i.e. wines, water, coke, everything was available.

GermanyKnysna is not a place to travel with dogs. All restaurants in whole Knysna don’t allow dogs. Since the guest house is not self-catering the only way to get food is to order. But there is even no delivery to the guest house. You have to collect it. The guest house is nice but we can’t recommend Knysna for travellers with a dog.
The view was fantastic!
