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 AfricaOnly instant coffee in the rooms . Although there was a Nespresso upstairs in the bar/lounge, I would expected to have one in the room at the price.
The position was beautiful, perched on the dunes overlooking the beach. A special touch was the host booking restaurants for us prior to arrival as a courtesy. Breakfast was amazing.

South AfricaOur stay was delightful. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Our room was elegantly decorated with direct access to the beach, offering a magnificent view of the sea right from our doorstep. The shower and bath is not a private from the room area, just something to note if you are traveling with someone you are not that comfortable with. Breakfast was a highlight, beautifully prepared each morning, with Jurgens providing outstanding hospitality. The meals were delicious and thoughtfully presented. An unexpected treat was the afternoon coffee and tea—both delicious and considerate. Upon checking out, we were pleasantly surprised with a little 'padkos pakkie'. The service was truly excellent, making our stay wonderful.

United KingdomIf I had to pick a fault then it would be the size of the pool but all the hotels in the area have similar size pools - so it’s not a dealbreaker. You also have the sea on your doorstep.
Loved it all. Staff were so friendly. Views were amazing. The food was fantastic. Couldn’t fault it.

United KingdomIt would be perfect if there was a water cooler (or similar) to fill up our water bottles but this is just a tiny suggestion.
This is an excellent place to stay. The staff are kind and helpful and booked us tables for dinner each night. We had a room on the ground floor (Breeze) so you could walk straight out onto the beach - absolutely lovely! It is on the smaller beach in Paternoster, which we really liked. We loved Paternoster, would have been great to stay longer.

Being right on the beach was both stunning and tranquil. The room was spacious and luxurious, high end finishes throughout. The dining area with self serve bar and coffee and cake was perfect, looking over the beach for sunset from there was one of my favourite things!

South AfricaA choice of breakfast options would be nice.
Beautiful guesthouse on the beach, with incredible sea views from the breakfast room & honesty bar area. The upstairs area is lovely to sit & sip on something, read a book & watch the waves. The accommodation had pre booked our dinners, which is a lovely gesture. However, no one told us beforehand. So we had already made reservations.
