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 was our third visit to Strandloper as it is such a lovely hotel in a stunning location. I booked too late and could only get an ‘internal’ room with no view but it had a lovely outdoor area with a plunge pool including a waterfall and a table and comfortable chairs, it was also very private so I loved it. The outdoor swimming pool was just across from our room and had nice loungers and sun shades. The restaurant is really exceptional and has a lovely ambiance, I would have stayed at least a week but they were fully booked, so make sure you book early if you want to stay in this lovely hotel.

South AfricaNothing to disapprove of.
In desperate need to make our wedding anniversary special and wanting to visit the west Coast of South Africa agin after many years, I decided to book a couple of nice at this very good Boutique hotel. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I made in a while. This place was very well placed and the restaurant and rooms very stylishly decorated. We were also greeted with some MCC and flowers in the room because I mentioned that it was a special occasion. The food was absolutely amazing! Breakfast was very well served with lots of fresh options and another bottle of MCC on our first mornings' breakfast. For dinner I had hake the first evening and the seafood linguini the last evening.....both extremely tasty and can recommend to all. My wige had the Chalmar steak and she could not stop smiling. The staff was probably the best part of the stay. They were all very friendly and attentive to our needs, from managers to bartender to waitresses. Well done Strandloper. We will be back.

FranceThere is no clear information in the room on what is complimentary and what is charged as minibar And in fact there is no price list for the minibar and goodies.
I loved the location and the beachfront bungalow The service is excellent I loved the fire in the room at night, the hot water bottle in the bed, the milk in the fridge. Plus the restaurant is outstanding (both for breakfast and for dinner)

PortugalThe only issues we found were that the WiFi was very weak and the restaurant menu was the same at lunch and dinner so became a bit “samey”.
Absolutely fabulous location— amazing views, bikes for rent that you can cycle endlessly on the hard-packed beach, excellent restaurant with brilliant staff. Our oceanview suite was also a good size and had ample outdoor space.

United KingdomWe loved the room and It didn't matter that we had no sea view. Breakfast was a delight each day with great food overlooking the ocean. We also had dinner on the first night and it was excellent and reasonably priced. Lastly, all of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Its definitely on the list of place to go back to.

Very comfortable room . Eaten for my birthday for last 4 years at lunchtime excellent views ,this time decided to stay at hotel same table but no view as no outside lighting. We were finishing our dessert and lights turned off in restaurant, music also and tables cleared around us it was only 21:30. Not romantic at night better at lunchtime. This is not 5 * but still a nice hotel and my favourite restaurant for view and ambience at lunchtime but the evening meal spoiled my birthday meal . There was definitely no recognition of my special occasion.

United KingdomPool was a bit characterless, but we didn’t use it. Shame about the incessant wind, but that’s the location, not the property.
This place is a little haven in a remote small town. The staff were a delight from start to finish. We had the best room in the house for the first two nights (king ocean suite, room 1, top floor) and it was fantastic. Amazing views, great design, exceptionally comfortable. We moved to the worst room in the house ( courtyard room, no view) for our final night but it had the same level of comfort and was very private. The food was delicious, every meal was exceptional. We stayed over Christmas and there were lots of nice touches to make it extra special. It’s not cheap, but we’d just got engaged and was so worth it. Not sure I’d return to paternoster, but if I did, I’d stay here.
