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 AfricaDidnt expect there to be dogs on the property as I was bitten before and think i missed it when going through other reviews but Sam was so thoughtful and caring to put the gods away before breakfast or when we were around.
The quaint and quirky guesthouse, a look and feel which takes you down memory lane with its big stoep,old Victorian building,beautiful garden and a swimmining pool a bonus for those hot days. Breakfast was great.Sam and Jacues was great hosts.

SpainThe shower head was low and a bit dangerous (it was at eye level for an average man).
Sam made a massive effort to cater for our special dietary needs and created some sumptuous breakfasts for us. The pool was lovely for an afternoon dip.

South AfricaThe shared bar fridge amongst 4 rooms and the limited indoor parking space. It would also be helpful to have an air on in the shared lounge to battle the heat and to enjoy the wonderful space.
Sam and her team were absolutely wonderful and very accomodating. The decor is quite interesting, with loads of history and a lived experience behind it. Breakfast was great and the pool was marvelous to offset the harsh summer heat.

South AfricaUnfortunately, there was a wedding happening at the same time we were there, which meant there were tons of people who took over the "communal area" - pool, etc which is primarily why we came there - to relax by the pool. I would've changed the booking if I'd been told a wedding was happening. Our lounge and the area near our room wasn't cleaned up of the beer bottles, glasses, etc, which wasn't amazing.
We had a lovely time at The tin roof. The team are friendly and attentive and the breakfast is exceptional. I really liked the little lounge area outside out rooms. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are great. This spot is very well located and offers a lot of shade in the summer.

South AfricaDog faeces on the outside walkways and walkable areas. No overhead lighting means the room is dark. A shower is installed above the bath but the bath is treacherously slippery to stand up in.
It was fairly quiet and comfortable. Large trees in the garden added to the atmosphere.

South AfricaThere wasn't really anything that I didn't like.
We had a lovely one night stay at the Red Tin Roof. We were given a warm welcome by Sam the owner and all the friendly dogs. Our accommodation in the beautiful old Victorian House which has recently been refurbished was very comfortable. When we got back from dining out in the evening a lovely fire was glowing in the lounge fireplace warming up the entire house. Much appreciated on such a cold evening. Breakfast in the main house was very cosy, and delicious cooked by Jacques. We will definitely be back in summer for a longer stay
