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 AfricaThat the house doesn't have backup power, and when it's load shedding the water doesn't work... There aren't aircons in the bedrooms, only fans, it helps but is still extremely hot!! There is no fan or aircon in the living area... the pool table, ping pong table and dart board have seen better days..
The location and view were great. Loved the open planed living area and the pool!! We enjoyed the sauna to. It also has easy beach access. The staff is friendly and very helpful.

South AfricaThe ensuite to the upstairs bedrooms are open plan. Some would like... I didn't. The house has 4 bedrooms inside and the other 3 are annexed to the house. The upstairs shower had a leak that dripped directly onto the kitchen counter.
The house is spacious and beautiful. It is well equipped. Ozzie and Nonku are superstars that make your stay so comfortable. Pool table, Table tennis, Infinity swimming pool, sauna, and a large garden for cricket made sure the kids were always entertained. A walkway to the beach.. just a pity the ocean was brown and choppy because of the weather.

South AfricaWe were really unhappy during our stay due to the loadshedding (no electricity during certain hours of the day) and no water for most of the day on Saturday. There were 16 of us on this getaway and it was very difficult without electricity for most of the day on Friday and Saturday and no water for the majority of the day on Saturday. This meant that we didn’t have water for showers, toilets and cooking etc. If we were informed about the water and electricity problem before arrival, we could have prepared better or even made alternative arrangements as we had quite a few elderly people with us. We felt that it was really unacceptable to be left without water and electricity for most of our stay without prior notice. While we understand that the these problems are a result of service providers, when we contacted the host they were very unpleasant and basically said that we can leave the property if we were unhappy with the situation. We paid a lot of money for the accommodation and put a lot of effort into planning this annual family getaway so we were really disappointed with this response.
We loved the location and facilities. The sauna and jacuzzi were such a treat during winter and the beach in front of the property was safe, clean and beautiful. The gardens are also well kept and so serene. This was the perfect location for our annual family getaway.
