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.).

We opted to stay in an apartment so cannot comment on any breakfasts, but this was, without doubt, the best B&B we stayed in in S Africa. Johan and Dirkie we very welcoming and extremely helpful with everything from restaurant reservations to laundry and advice on where to visit and eat out. The apartment was perfect; generously appointed and clean with all the facilities one could need and the fabulous views. Whilst it is a few km from the 'downtown' area, we moved around by Uber when we didn't want to drive ourselves - just beware normal difficulty of getting an Uber at peak times (early evening Friday)

United KingdomStop three nights... not enough.
It's perched up high " in paradise" as the views of the lagoon are impeccably and that coupled with the service ( nothing too much ) & mouth watering breakfast. Just means you take your time, and then some more. Your hostesses are so helpful and can suggest things to do or visit.

The view from the balcony is breathtaking. The bed faces to the view, so you can wake up to an amazing sunrise. The room is clean and tidy, complete privacy. The hosts were kind, cooperative and available for any questions. It was gorgeous to eat breakfast, a very healthy and tasty breakfast, on the balcony, facing the view. I will definitely come back. Staying here is highly recommended.

South AfricaThe only downside was having to leave this extraordinary place.
We were granted a complimentary room upgrade, mindful of my need for a work-centric space, balancing both my wife's comfort and my client interactions. Imagine breakfasts where flavors burst with the sunrise, all enjoyed from a vantage point that offers spellbinding views, making minutes melt away. This sanctuary, underscored by the tranquil chorus of birds, mirrors the privacy of an island retreat. Throughout, the unparalleled attention, outstanding service, and warm hospitality of our hosts, Johan and Dirkie, truly stand out
