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 AfricaWe enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house, it’s situated at a stunning location, it is well equipped with everything you need, very clean and chic. It is solar powered which is great, unfortunately due to bad weather that meant no hot water to shower for us but would still highly recommend this place especially in summer

United KingdomBe aware if elderly or if have young children that there are steps up to front door. Doors could do with some maintenance. Front door warped and had to give it a big push to close, and bifold doors could do with some oiling as were difficult to close ( have same doors myself at home). Handle on one bathroom was broken off. But these were really small things. Loved our holiday.
Bird life in the trees in garden and in the open vlei in front of property was a treat, Huge balcony on front and another to the side of the property with sea views, could choose if wanted to sit in the sun or shade. Great BBQ, plenty of wood. Very comfortable beds, Very well decorated, love the art on the walls. Lovely open plan living. Not affected by load shedding as had solar panels. Lovely staff.

United KingdomThe place is great but needs a little more furnishing to truly make it luxury (more kitchen utensils/trays, hairdryer, even a starter pack for tea coffee etc) but was Enough for a short stay for people that didn’t spend a pack of time there. Guest book would be a great addition.
Felsch was a pleasure to meet and was very friendly and forthcoming, large spacious and comfy beds! Amazing views over the bay.

We loved the decor touches and what a lovely surprise to be off the grid, with the great solar energy support. Feilsh was such a great help and added to our wonderful stay.

Australiathe stay was near perfect but we would have liked some sort of instruction manual re the coffee machine, the wifi (I don’t think there was anyway), where to leave the keys, pick up the keys, safety guides, instructions for security etc. the available utensils were very minimal - no tin opener. I’m so glad we had memory there upon our arrival or we would have been very lost. she told us where the supermarket was and how to get to the beach - all things that would be helpful in a welcome instruction manual. luckily we are South African but internationals would have been a bit lost. a nice welcome message from a host is always welcomed… food for thought for next time :)
we were met by the housekeeper who was just divine, kind, friendly and lovely. the home is perfectly located, far away enough from the village to feel secluded but close enough to have quick access to what you need. INCREDIBLE views, amazingly comfortable bedrooms and home.
