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 AfricaThat we could not stay longer.
The beautiful view we had from our balk-any, was much better than the pictures we saw on line. It was quite and peaceful. Just what we were looking for as a get away from the buzzy city. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was really comfortable. Well worth every cent. I am defiantly gonna be going back later this year for another get away.

Superb views across the bay. We were a bit behind schedule, but were made very welcome. Changes were made to our shark cage diving, and Whale watching, but we were well accommodated. Our own balcony was a lovely place to be with a glass of wine.

South AfricaI advised the owners well in advance that I am gluten free as there is a breakfast included , which they acknowleged but did not provide anything so the breakfast was very limited for me . If a property tells me that they cannot assist I bring my own gluten free food but they did not do this . There also seems to be some plumbing problems , the shower was clogged up and the water went off in the night so was unable to wash soap off my hands or flush the toilet when I went to the bathroom late at night .
The room view and location of the guesthouse is amazing overlooking the sea, you can see the whales in the bay . It's is in quiet and peaceful neighbourhood surrounded by amazing birdlife including penguins you can see sunning on the rocks . The property is clean and reasonably priced .

South AfricaThe stairwell to the lower floor is a bit steep particularly if carrying things.
The owners, Tinus and Sylvia, were outstanding hosts who shared their local knowledge and were easy to talk to. Our breakfasts made by their housekeeper, Tembisa, were superb and Tembisa would do just about anything to make our stay more enjoyable. She is a GEM! The rooms have an uninterrupted view of the sea crashing against the rocks and many sea birds as well as others can be viewed from the comfort of the bedrooms' or lounge.
