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 AfricaVisitors parking in our dedicated parking. Couldn't get into our vehicle the morning due to visitors cars squeezed into parkings.
Beautiful view from the balcony. Can walk to the beach. Shops close by. The area felt very safe.

South AfricaThe only thing I did not like was have one parking lot for the holiday how as we were a group of six traveling with two vehicles. It would be nice to atleast reserve two parkings for the holiday home
Rooms are clean and spacious. Kitchen was fully equipped, which made it convenient for preparing our meals.

United KingdomThe owners should consider that overseas guests are not all familiar with the SA loadshedding power cuts. No generator on the property or alternative power supply. So as the self catering facilities are all electric, they were mostly useless to me during my 12 days stay, with stage 5 Loadshedding being a 2-3 times daily occurence. A torch, candles and a timetable of power cut schedules isn't too much to expect surely? But the lovely Celeste was very helpful in spite of the owner's lack of due diligence
The Caretaker lady, Celeste was very hospitable and most friendly

South AfricaThe stove units needs some upgrading as it trips the power when simultaneously using the kettle. Bookings.com advertising the Cidar Place Unit as a double room for 4 adults causes confusion as we expected 2 separate rooms in a unit and Ocean View location is not communicated as separate from the rest of the units (different block opposite the street) Minor alterations to walkways and guttering is required, in case of inclement weather, however the manager has highlighted that it is in progress. Overall, there is very little to dislike about the "Rose and Ale", and we would definitely recommend/ or return for a visit in the future.
Location is close to the beach and central to the malls. The cleaning staff was very friendly and helpful. The manager was very kind and accommodating, especially when we highlighted some areas of concern. "Elaine" the manager offerred us the opportunity to move to a differentunit so that the entire family can be closer together when the other tenants moved out at nil cost.. The WiFi was simply excellent,simple and convenient.
