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 AfricaThe room were quite hot. Fan was available in the cupboard but it was secure enough to sleep with a window open. The bed was a bit too hard for me since I prefer a more softer bed.
The garden was peaceful and private. Could enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the morning with the room leading out into a garden. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were super friendly. Made us feel conformable and welcome.

GermanyWe truly loved everything whilst staying at this beautiful villa, from the big comfortable bed, to the delicious breakfast options to the wonderful hospitality and great conversation with the hosts. We felt comfortable, safe, and well catered to. The rooms are comfortable and the bathroom is also very nice. You really have everything you need and there is much attention to detail. You won't want or need for anything and there is plenty of space on the property should you wish to spend more time outside of your room. Location is perfect for getting around Hermanus.

This is a well decorated property with lovely decor and nice touches which show the care and attention Marcelle and Andrew take to ensure their guests have a wonderful stay. The pool and hot tub area is a lovely spot and there are plenty of shady sitting areas in the pretty garden. Breakfast is delicious with hot and cold options and home cooked cakes. Marcelle has invested in solar panels which ensures there are no problems due to load shedding, wifi is excellent. The property is situated in a quiet area with the cliff path close by and the centre of Hermanus in walking distance. Several beaches are a short drive away. We would certainly recommend the property and we hope to return, we were certainly made very welcome.

IrelandNothing, we really enjoyed our stay. For a few days, there was temporary construction work next door with some noise in the mornings but this was nothing the B&B staff could do about it.
We had a great time in Villa Venusta, it is walking distance from Hermanus town center where you can find restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Although in the evening it was advice to take a very short taxi ride, but that wasn't a problem. The B&B is really nice and the hosts are amazing. The room and bed is very confortable and the breakfast is great! I even needed to see a doctor appointment while I was there and the host went above and beyond reaching out to her own GP for me to attend.
