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 AfricaNothing.
I loved everything about this property!!! The house, garden and rooms are beautiful. Every detail on what would make you comfortable had been thought about. A cupboard to unpack with plenty of hangers. The basin had space to put out all my toiletries. The bed was incredibly comfortable with beautiful linen. There was a table in my room to sit at and eat at. Lots of outside and inside tables to sit and relax. My room had a kitchenette with full crockery and cutlery and a fridge and microwave. A full range of toiletries were provided. They are one block from the beach - so I walked on the beach every morning. This was a work trip - but I felt like I was on holiday. The staff are great and they offer a wonderful breakfast in the morning.

South AfricaThe parking is a bit tricky but nothing too concerning.
Huge room, comfortable beds, excellent bathroom and the very kind and professional staff. I had an issue with my tyre and the host, Debbie, even offered me her tyre repair kit so I can fix my problem. The breakfast is great too with good portions and fresh food and a very nice dining area.

Maison H is one of those real gems in life that you stumble across almost accidentally and then ask yourself why on earth you haven't stayed there before. Quite why anyone would stay anywhere else is beyond me. Impeccable attention to detail. Excellent location. Wonderful staff. Fabulous breakfasts, Two minute walk to the beach. On a scale of 1 to 10 the result is 11!!

United KingdomA beautifully-appointed guesthouse, both conveniently located for King Shaka Airport but also chilled and quiet due to its Umhlanga location - just metres from the beach. Our family party really enjoyed the relaxed garden area and pool - and the associated ‘honour bar’ for drinks was a thoughtful touch.

South AfricaThe room 2 bathroom possibly could do with a shower door as the shower water always spilt over onto the bathroom floor. The bathroom sliding door does not track smoothly and often sticks when pulled close / open.
The breakfast was great. The room was very comfortable, aircon and overhead fan was a great bonus in the Durban humidity.

The service was excellent from the start. The staff are truly friendly and helpful. Small details in the room like the nightcap, real milk, rusks, etc. were such an excellent gesture from the Guesthouse. Breakfast was great as well.
