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.).

Germanyan exceptionally beautiful place. Very friendly service. We felt very comfortable. Best hotel on our round trip on the Garden Route. I had forgotten an important part of my photographic equipment there. The manager contacted me immediately and sent it to my next location.

South AfricaWe stayed over New Years and it was clear that they were incredibly understaffed. In many cases we didn't receive food/drinks orders or just had to cancel them as it took so long. The staff did try their best but were clearly under staffed.
The activities and location are incredible. Staff are helpful where they can be. We loved the beaches and remote location. Manuel was a gem!

South AfricaAll good.
Location is pristine, secluded and one of the lessor known jewels in the E Cape. Facilitates are good with a number of additional fun activities on offer, we enjoyed the sand boarding and fat bikes for the sandy trails. The Chef and his Team delivered some extraordinary fish and vegetarian dishes..excellent!

GermanyComfortable and Relaxing … just wonderful easy to be found, use google maps to get there comfortable. The lodge has just a couple of rooms, some of them quite luxury. The rooms are big, very big. Very nice furniture. Very clean. High level standard. The lodge is located in a very spacy plot of more than 200 hectar. A private beach is part of it as well as a dune on the plot. This is nature pure! Food is phenominal, we had very seldom food in this quality in South Africa. Service perfect and friendly. Wifi existing. All in all very luxury place, very romantic atmosphere. A bit expensive, value for money is a bit out of balance. Would we come again? Well, we recognized that management/owner changes recently. We had the impression that maintenance is not a priority anymore. Before going there again we would check latest comments in google.

South AfricaThe road to Oyster Bay is quite challenging if you are driving a sedan motor vehicle. Also maybe to look at putting in a ceiling fan in all the rooms
The breakfast was well prepared with different choices.

South AfricaThat we couldn't stay longer.
This is one of the hidden paradises in South Africa. Was our third visit to this venue and we will return again next year. Bush, secluded private beach, excellent food, exceptional hospitality, nature lover's heaven with a touch of urban comfort. The horse rides through the bush and dunes are fantastic. Great running and mountain bike cycling tracks on the estate. Fantastic picnic and beach venue spots.

UkraineThere is nothing I can think of.
A pleasant farm amidst beautiful nature, short walk from the ocean with secluded beach and huge dunes nearby. Dinner and breakfast were good and everyone enjoyed additional activities they offer: we did dune safari and horse riding.

South AfricaThe initial room was totally unacceptable. We have find that the website of Bookings.com in certain instances not always truthful with the accommodation that they advertise and thus not always reliable.
We initially was given a very very very poor room with no privacy and small. We requested to be moved and the second room was much better. The photos on Bookings.com is not recent photos and should be updated as so many other places, requires maintenance. On the website of Bookings.com it doesn't mention that the ocean is more than 1km away from the lodge and that we couldn't swim at this spot and had to travel by car more than 4km for a swim in the ocean.
