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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

South AfricaA great place to stay. I only have one small gripe - there was a sound of water - either running or boiling (like a swimming pool pump or a geyser that is boiling) all night - usually running water is a soothing sound but for some reason this sound was not soothing. Otherwise a great place!

South AfricaI think the cooking utensils could be reviewed maybe an additional pot or 2 but not serious. Also a braai grill would be handy as I did not see one around.

South AfricaOnly one of us could shower and the water got really cold. Two people are not able to shower, one after the other. In addition, I mentioned to the cleaning lady that the shower wasn't clean but I don't believe she cleaned it. The room is probably south facing, so it's gets really cold with no heater and the aircon doesn't work. The blankets provided are not enough to keep you warm if you're sitting in the lounge area, for example.
It has a very homey feel and all the basics you need for a short stay - fridge, stove, microwave oven and kettle, cupboard space and cutlery and crockery.. Much bigger than most accommodation. It has a kitchen, a small dining area, TV area with a couch, shower and a bedroom. A private entrance with a car shed. The driveway is a bit tricky as you cannot drive straight through but have not make a slight turn to get in, however it's not too much of an issue. The host came to see us and introduce herself and gave us some good advice as to where to go and we had some other questions about EL. The cleaning lady tidied up, most days (some days the dishes were done and other days not). She re-made the bed and swept the place, but didn't seem to empty the bins. She doesnt come in on a Friday though. I would stay here again.

South AfricaWindows were dusty and seemed not to have been cleaned in days. Female underwear left in the bathroom by previous lodger suggest less than efficient cleaning services.
Spacious and comfortable accommodation with all the neccessary amenities provided. Comfortable bed and lots of storage space in the bedroom.. Nice sit out with plenty of fresh air from the ocean. Safe and secure upmarket neighborhood. Easy access to shops and essential resources..

South AfricaThe airconditioner was noisy and did not cool the bedroom adequately. Fridge was too small for someone spending more than one night and having been travelling for a few weeks, it was not adequate for our needs. Some windows did not have curtains or blinds.
The property is well positioned in a decent residential suburb and would be well suited for an overnight stop. It was clean and the shower was great. Nice to have under cover parking for our car.
