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 AfricaOur stay at this beautiful hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in an amazing experience that exceeded all expectations. The highlight was definitely the use of the kolkol, which added a unique and unforgettable touch to our stay. Inside our room, the cozy fireplace not only kept us warm but also created a magical atmosphere that enhanced our experience. The attention to detail from the hotel owner and her staff was remarkable. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness, especially during such a special time as my wedding preparation. The morning of my wedding was made even more special with delicious mimosas brought to us, along with their assistance in steaming our dresses when our steamer malfunctioned. Every effort was made to ensure we felt relaxed and pampered, which truly made a difference. The breakfast served was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, and the bath tub was a dream come true for any girl. It was clear that every aspect of our stay was carefully thought out to make it truly special for us. Overall, our experience at this hotel was exceptional, and I cannot recommend it enough. If you're looking for a place where every detail is perfected and where you'll feel pampered and relaxed, this is the place to be.

Linda was an amazing host and couldn't do enough to ensure that we had the best stay in Hermanus. Breakfast was the best we have had in SA so far. Room was lovely with our own balcony and chairs to ensure the view over Hermanus. We didn't have a hot tub in our room and wish we had as we came back earlyish and would have enjoyed siting in the hottub with the view/or not if sun had set. Overall we had a wonderful couple of days.

GermanyI would like to thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful accommodation at the Ridge House. Our stay was simply fantastic and I would like to share my impressions. The room we stayed in was not only extremely comfortable but also stylishly furnished. The attention to detail was clearly noticeable and it felt like we had found our own little paradise. The cleanliness and care of the room was impressive and contributed greatly to our sense of well-being. The location of the Ridge House is also remarkable. The peaceful surroundings and the breathtaking nature nearby helped us to really relax. But the best thing about the Ridge House was undoubtedly the hosts, Linda & Martyn. Your warm hospitality and personal attention made our stay unforgettable. We felt welcome and appreciated from the very beginning. Your recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area were spot on. Overall, our stay at the Ridge House was an unforgettable experience that we will always remember fondly.

United KingdomNo complaints at all - although we would happily have spent 3 nights instead of 2 in Hermanus.
We stayed in the Rockpool suite and just loved the hot tub and grill area which we used both nights. We arrived day after severe storms but the property nonetheless was in perfect condition and even ready for our arrival despite us being ahead of check in. Great views across Hermanus and to star gaze from the hot tub. The staff were friendly and even managed to sort out a last minute booking for us on a whale watching boat trip. We met our hosts briefly on arrival and departure but they couldn't have been more welcoming. Excellent breakfast which you can also have served in the room / on terrace. Highly recommended.
