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 AfricaThere is a lovely little kitchen off the room that could easily be converted into a self catering unit with a few basic appliances and plenty of cupboard space for cutlery and crockery. Noticed the fireplace was covered with wood which is a pleasing aesthetic but would have been lovely to make use of it as an actual fireplace. As smokers we would have liked to have easy access to a balcony close to the room but there was only a place downstairs near the pool. That said, we certainly couldn't complain, it was a beautiful setting.
Room was immaculate and spacious, dimmable chandeliers provided us fantastic lighting. The bath in the centre of the room was lovely and the little toilet and shower cubicles were adorable. The room was light and airy and beautifully furnished. Exactly what we were looking for in a quick escape from town.

Eddie, the manager, was absolutely fantastic. Incredibly attentive looking after every need and going way beyond the extra mile. Although not that much direct interaction with the other staff, the few times we did have, they were also incredibly friendly. Great breakfast that was served in absolute style and far exceeded expectations. Even though not right on the beach, we could see and hear it and a two minute walk away.

Eddie is a fabulous host and went out of his way to pre-empt my needs and have it met; he even shared a contact of a local “uber driver” so that I could keep my vehicle parked at the Manor, while attending a wedding elsewhere in town.

Perfect location directly at an almost private beach. The manager and owner were super friendly and assisted to organize a dinner reservation and e-bike activity. The breakfast was delicious and we could order the hot breakfast ala-carte. Our room was perfectly decorated and equipped and super clean. The house had a lounge area inside and outside, also nice niches and balconies everywhere to be private or watch the sunset. We really enjoyed our stay and this is a 100% recommendation!

South AfricaOne or two of the pieces of furniture could use some reupholstering as they were a bit worn but nothing serious.
Paternoster Manor was a wonderful place to stay and very comfortable. We were well looked after and the staff were very helpful and friendly. As we were two friends travelling, we stayed int eh family room so we each had a bedroom. The rooms were very comfortable with each room having a great bed, tea and coffee in each room and more the enough cupboard space. This would work well for a family travelling. Breakfast was great! The jacuzzi area was lovely as were the balconies. Staying there surpassed my expectations and I would recommend it.

United KingdomEverything was lovely, but if I'm being very pedantic, the easy listening music at breakfast was a little outdated, but this is just a minor personal preference.
Lovely bed & breakfast. The manager was friendly, frequently available and communicative. I was very grateful to be able to check in early as the room was fortunately available early.
