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.).

This is a home away from home. Spacious with everything you need. Lucy Arrigo met us on arrival and is an exceptional host. During our stay there was a water interruption, and our host even provided us with bottled water during this time. Thank you, Lucy. The outside thatch area with a braai facility was an added bonus. When in the area again, this will be our first choice. Excellent and safe location.

South AfricaThe problem was with the past guests. They smoked in the room which mede us sick as we are allergic to smoke. It was best if the apartment was cleaned properly and removed from the system until conditions are good for habitation.

South AfricaWe we waited a while to get assistance for keys, even after we rang the gate bell. I was beginning to panic. Both the cell and landlines didn't get answered. Eventually the lady came. No biggie. When we left, The was around to take the key. The fridge is noisy, can be annoying when you trying to sleep or watch TV. I wish someone would come in and clean our rooms daily (just preference when on vacation) and replace sheets every 2 days.
The area is clean, quiet and safe. Close to shops, the beach. Whenever we went out, we were happy to come back to our Cosy cottage. A home away from home. The cottage is Very comfortable, has all the essentials. An inverter for Loadshedding. The staff and owners were very friendly and warm.

Our stay was amazing! The pictures are exactly what you see, it’s super clean and peaceful. Lucy and Ezio were so warm and accommodating. There were special touches added - a set of towels on the bed with chocolates, a bar of soap and hand wash with hand towels provided, milk and a bottle of water in the fridge, coffee/tea are provided. Access to WiFi was great for work purposes. There’s a friendly dog on the property (you can close the gate off if you don’t like dogs), this was a plus. The aircon works well. There’s a braai area right outside. The property has everything you need. Can’t wait for my next trip! 😁
