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.).

Paternoster Manor is a very beautiful and charming property. The interior decor is breathtaking, and all aspects of the Manor, have been lovingly enhanced, to create an incredible feeling of luxury and comfort. Eddie and Ryno were very gracious and attentive hosts, leaving nothing to chance and no stone unturned. The breakfasts were magnificent, beautifully prepared and presented. We shall certainly make every effort to return, it was a time of complete relaxation and simple holiday pleasures.

South AfricaIf I have to be picky I would say the bathroom and shower was a little tight and could be bigger. There really is not anything else we did not like.
Great location close to beach and local waterfront with restaurants, arts and crafts. Room was very neat and clean. The atmosphere is relaxed.

The host’s welcome sets the tone for this hotel. Eddie is charming and most helpful, he did his best to ensure our stay was a success. And because he is such a pleasant person, his staff were happy, so the atmosphere in the hotel is relaxed and positive.

Took a little finding as thought was in the main village but actually in a lovely area on Bek Bay near to 2 fabulous restaurants De See Kat and One. Beautiful old Manor House with beautiful rooms downstairs to use and lovely bedrooms. Gorgeous secluded garden with small pool . Breakfast was amazing and far too much!!!!

United KingdomBefore booking we thought the house had direct sea views and outside terraces but these were all rather limited. The towels all had a rather unpleasant smell! They have a bath in the bedroom but then ask you not to use it due to water restrictions!
Our host couldn't have been nicer and more helpful and friendly. The breakfast offered was wonderful and free unlimited water was a very nice touch
