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.).

United KingdomOnly negative thing is that the walls are a bit thin, but it was fine as our neighbours were very respectful.
The stay was absolutely fabulous. First of all, Michelle was very helpful as she texted us best options to travel to Coffee Bay, and offered a dinner option. Dinner was delicious. The view is incredibly beautiful and it is definitely worth waking up early and seeing the sunrise, then having an early walk. The room is clean and comfortable, with warm blankets for chilly nights. It is a nice place to relax, have a cup of coffee in the common area and enjoy the view.

United StatesThey do what they can to make the room comfortable, but it does have an older feel with the linoleum, especially in the bathroom. However, it was very clean, and the value was excellent.
The view is incredible! The staff were super friendly and helpful, and it was easy to check in and out. The place has an older feel with unique antique furniture. The common room has board games for anyone to use. We spent the evening with a bottle of wine and Trivial Pursuit on the comfortable deck.

South AfricaUnfortunately due to the bad weather there was no electricity and the next day no water. But the guesthouse has generators that they use at specific times. This obviously was just bad timing but all in all we really like Coram Deo.
We enjoyed the unspoiled sea view, as well as the Coffee Bay Drum band which came to the Guesthouse after dinner. It was a nice experience and just to be part of the cultural music. I also tried Crayfish for the first time which was very nice.

South AfricaThe rooms are not equipped with a fridge and microwave. However, there is a communal fridge, and you can ask the kitchen to heat your food in their microwave. Would be great if each room had these facilities, though. The walls are paper-thin. I could hear the sound of the fan in the next room, as well as our snoring neighbour.
Loved the view from our room. Cutest Jack russell that reminded my husband and I of our own. Neil and Michelle were very helpful and accommodating of us throughout our stay - kept us up-to-date with the loadshedding schedules as well as any activities they had planned.

Everything was looked after, communal areas were pristine when we went to sit in them (that balcony/terrace was the most peaceful place to just chill on and look out at the ocean) Michelle was very helpful with regards to our journey up, showed us the best way to go etc. The dinner we had was amazing as well.
