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.).

United Arab EmiratesIf you are going to make the trip out to Coffee Bay, definitely stop off for at least a meal here. Lindie truly embraces the slow food ideology and the taste is worth the wait. The breakfast included is a hot freshly prepared meal and the accommodations match the price point.

Sunset Bed and Breakfast is a short walking distance to the beach. The room and bathroom were very clean, the beds are comfortable. Having Lindie’s scrumptious breakfast while enjoying the breathtaking garden view was my favourite part.

GermanyDue to flooding earlier this year, the tarred road was destroyed. The alternative route was basically a steep gravel path down the hill to coffee bay, which was a challenge for our car and our minds. After roughly 10 minutes of sweating we arrived at the Sunset B&B and are an experience richer.
The stay was very lovely. Lindie served amazing food for dinner and breakfast and we've honestly enjoyed staying in Coffee Bay.

CanadaWe only stayed one night. Next time, we need to stay longer and also have the Sushi.
We had a great time in Coffee Bay, also due to Lindie. The accomodation was cozy (straw roof cottage) and clean. Lindie always made sure that we felt safe. She also helped us with the laundry (Thank you for that!) so that a couple of hours later we had fresh clothes again. It was the best choice to have dinner at her place as she cooks unsurpassably good. We had vegetable stir fry noodles and sticky wings (best wings my byfriend ever had). The place is however known for its sushi. The fresh bread and the jam in the morning were amazing. Lindie also organized a local guide for us to explore the area. Thank you for that! Our evening with our long conversation together was a great experience.

United StatesWe had an amazing time at Sunset in Coffee Bay. Lindie is a wonderful host, she made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She arranged a local guide to do some hikes with us in the area, and he was pretty great. She is also an excellent cook, her meals were AMAZING! Even if you are not staying there, I totally recommend eating at Sunset, just let her know with time that you are coming! Awesome place that made our wild coast experience even better, highly recommended!

South AfricaThe room could have had more windows, and a communial microwave would have been handy.
Breakfast and dinner just like Grandma taught her. Special cooked meals made with lots of love. Taking into account that supplies are not always readily available lots of planning have to be done ahead. She is a really good cook and can turn any meal into a gourmet meal. . Lindie is a great host and provided us with lots of information and things to do at Coffee Bay. She arranged for a guide to take us around to all the attractions.

South AfricaThe drive to Coffee Bay was very horrible due to lots of pots holes, some very, very dangerous to pass.
Located very close to the beach like our home away from home. Lots to see and to do. Lots of local restaurants serving good food. The host was very friendly even though the community of Coffee Bay went through a terrible and horrible flood.
