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 mattress was super soft, which was not great for us but may suit others? Wifi was a little low at times but never enough to cause us any problems.
Proximity to everything!! View was spectacular! Apartment was super clean and had all you could need! Never felt unsafe for a minute. Hosts were on the ball! Reagan was great, even carrying up a huge umbrella for us from another house.

Spacious accommodation in a great location overlooking main Paternoster beach. We were staying just for a couple of nights but property has amenities to support a longer stay with outside space, braai on terrace.

Super straight forward and we meet the host at the location to get the keys. The beach is a short walk away and it's right next to the waterfront. Great restaurants and things to do right around the corner.

Location really can’t be beaten, has to be the best views in Paternoster. The cottages are so comfortable, furnished in keeping with the stunning location, natural and simplicity at its best without compromising comfort. The staff were so delightful and couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you La Baleine, we will be back!

United KingdomQuite a few steps without handrails but the property is about to undergo an update where these issues will be addressed.
The location was excellent and with fabulous views of the bay. The cottage was very light and airy with a good open plan living area. The staff team were very responsive and provided an excellent service throughout our stay. The manager Chriszell was excellent and welcomed our feedback on our stay.

South AfricaNo complaints. We had wonderful long weekend and will certainly return. Highly recommended.
Our unit had a partial view of the sea which was wonderful. You could literally lie in bed and look at the waves. The location was great, just a few steps away from the Paternoster Waterfront with nice restaurants and shops and a theatre. Easy drive down the road to Cape Columbine, a wonderful nature reserve. Very comfortable apartment with nice modern kitchen equipment. Lovely outdoor areas to enjoy the view and have a barbeque.

South AfricaThe water pressure is bad - it takes ages to run a bath and there is hardly any pressure for the shower. The stove plates take ages to heat up - can hardly get a pot of water to boil on the stove. The disclaimer which must be signed re breakages. Accidental breakages should not be charged for - hotels and guesthouses do not charge for accidental breakages.
Warmly welcomed by Moses. Lovely furnished cottage. No clutter.

South AfricaThere was absolutely nothing to not like. The only thing that was missing in my view was a fire pit. Although there is a braai it is a little too far from the benches, so you couldn't feel the heat. I would suggest a free standig fire pit for the outside area.
THe views from the balcony were absolutely amazing. I was expecting a partial view of the ocean, however we had views of the entire bay. The place was clean and fully equipped. We needed for nothing. The place is kept immaculate with staff constantly busy, however not even visible. The communication from La Baleine was constant prior to the visit which facilitated the check in times
