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 service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

South AfricaThe power went off once unexpectedly, but this is South Africa and that's normal. Michelle was incredibly responsive and sorted out the issue in no time.
The location was incredible, as the name suggests, right on the beach. There were a number of great restaurants and shops nearby within walking distance. The fittings were in immaculate condition and there was great information at hand about the property and surrounds. The views from the property were sublime and the bed was super comfortable.

United KingdomNothing really! A lovely comfortable accomodation.
Our host Michelle provided a very helpful and ongoing service, meeting us as arranged with flexibility to complete a handover with clear directions to the property. Very spacious, clean and homely accomodation with access to beach chairs and towels allowing us to make the most of the local beach. Property provided a reliable back up power source during the current adhoc country imposed power shedding supporting me with my CPAP breathing machine needed at night .

South AfricaThere was no vanity in the 2nd bedroom, not even a mirror, the standalone mirror is not in a good position. There was a hairdryer in the main bedroom, but the hairdryer is very far from the mirror which is totally impractical. There was no washing sponge/towel, but there was drying up towels. The microwave did not work, this was reported, and the host bought one through 2 days later. The WIFI signal is very bad, which is a problem if you need to work. You cannot come through the main door after 9am at night.
There is no signage directing you to On the Beach, so you end up having to call the host, and then they tell you the sign is in a different name!

United StatesDue to no breakfast and other being offered at the venue I think full backup power would be great. Check out time is also a bit aggressive felt a bit rushed relative to other places. The unit offers limited entertainment for kids as the weather turned to poor. Thought there would have been Netflix or DSTV. Also cups were stained.

United KingdomNothing of any importance. The bedroom curtains didn’t keep out the light and the blind was missing from one of the windows in the bedroom but this didn’t impact on our wonderful week.
Wonderful location. We could lie in bed and watch the sea. The apartment was spacious with everything you need. Within easy walking distance to the shops and several restaurants (The Dunes being the closest and the best for seafood). The complex was secure too. A perfect place for a stay in Hout Bay

AustraliaThe back up power for internet was good though little noisy didn't mind it to much. There was a poorer area close by and couple of days was heavy police presence around earlier in day that was a little alarming but didn't hear a peep from anyone.
Was on the beach though view from room little obscured was a great location. Room clean and large enough spaces. Felt safe enough. Host fantastic and thoughtful. Was a half hour away from airport which was great. Beautiful drive into Hout bay. Shops close to.
