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.).

Joleen
South AfricaThe dishwasher did not work so alot of time was spent on washing up. The washing machine door did not close so washing had to be done by hand especially the clothes from the pool and beach. The 3 bedrooms were extremely hot as there was no air-conditioning in there and the TV's in all the rooms did not work. The jacuzzi was also not working. There was no locks on any bathroom or room doors. The lift is extremely faulty and sometimes does not work at all......but I would definitely come back again in a heartbeat!
The apartment was private. Spacious. The view was breathtaking. There was a pool table that kept us entertained. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, cutlery etc. The balcony was spacious and you could relax infron of the ocean view. The person at Leisure Letting was amazing and was on call to always assist.

South AfricaThere is an uncomfortable bed in one of the rooms. The bed did not seem comfortable to my kids. On the last day of our stay, DSTV was not working. The apartment does not have access to Wifi
The apartment is beautifully decorated and spacious. The view of the sea is breathtaking. There is a sea view from all rooms facing the sea including the kitchen. The apartment has almost everything you need when traveling with your family and kids. The apartment is situated in the center of Margate, which makes it easier to travel around Margate.

South AfricaThe washing machine had some issues, did close so we couldn't use it. As a bnb we have always had someone to come in to maintain toilets and kitchen daily. We had to clean up daily, not something everybody was keen to do. Just being honest!
The unit was spacious and comfortable, with the pool table as a welcome sight.

South Africa1. The extensive inventory checklist of 7 pages is a major turnoff when I am on holiday this is the last thing I want to check. **seems to be a South African thing!!** 2. My guests found the 3 bedrooms unbearable to sleep in as there was very little air flow and the fans provided did not help much. These rooms need air conditioning. This is the only reason I will not book this unit again. **If the rooms have air conditioning I will not hesitate to book this unit.
Central Location and great views. lovely apartment.

AustraliaThis apartment is in desperate need of renovation. Nothing works as it should, including : aircons, jacuzzi, braai (bbq), water dispenser on fridge. The pool table need refurbishment, the padding has no bounce. The lounge furniture needs a good clean, the couches are stained and dirty. The patio or balcony has lovely views but the furniture is broken. Cutlery and crockery is all mismatched. Shower caddies are rusted or dirty. This is a four bedroom 3 bathroom apartment and only one rechargeable light is supplied for loadshedding periods. The TV's in the bedrooms don't work. The dishwasher has a missing wheel on the pull out drawer making loading and unloading very difficult. Overall the apartment needed cleaning, we took off our shoes and walked barefoot on the first day and our feet were black underneath from the tiles. The apartment block behind Santorini is very noisy on weekends, the three back bedrooms facing it were almost impossible to sleep in.
The only thing that we liked was the view
