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 AfricaToilet not ideally situated (not closed off). Not ideal if not travelling alone. No tea or coffee available in the room (inconvenience of having to go into the communal kitchen to get either tea or coffee). A very bored night manager who appeared totally out of place. So not interested in assisting in the morning and was more interested playing with her cell phone.
Spacious room and the view from the room

South Africa1. The place was grimy. This included the floors, bathroom, cupboards and linen. 2. There was no water availability during Electricity load shedding. 3. Our room was near some pumps/condensers that could be heard throughout the night.
1. Location was excellent. 2. Beautifully and neatly designed. 3. Parking was great and secure If the cleanliness could be addressed this will be a wonderful place to stay in

GermanyAll sheets and towels were dirty same as all surfaces which was extremely disgusting. The room was not cleaned during our stay just the bed was made every day. Used cups werent exchanged and toilet paper was not provided. The power always went off in the mornings and evenings which we were already used to from SA and wouldnt bother about. However the guesthouse apparently did not have a generator so that there was also no water neither in the mornings nor in the evenings. The stay made our last two days in SA quite uncomfortable while we were very happy with all other accommodations before. For our last two days in SA we would have been better off sleeping in our car.

South AfricaCommunal kitchen is a problem when there are many people staying there. When families rent a few rooms they tend to take over the house. Not enough space in fridge. Also people do not properly clean after they used the kitchen. We wanted to make a pizza in the oven, but the rack was extremely dirty. Especially difficult to share spaces with people during Covid times.
Very nice to wake up each morning with a beautiful view of the sea.

South AfricaThere was no bar fridge in the room. The fact that you have to share a kitchen with other residents is not convenient. In addition, the breakfast should be more complete and included in the price. Internet in the rooms were not functional. Could only get internet in the communal lounge.
Location was reasonable and the rooms were in a new condition.
