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.).

Super modern house! Loved the great kitchen equipment from Creuset. Very light and spacious and even oil and some species were supplied. Area feels very secure because of the guarded entrance.

GermanyThe apartment and the whole complex were amazing. The interior was very thoughtful and the apartment really felt like a second home. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer! The apartment is very modern and spacious. It’s also nice to have a designated parking spot for your car.

GermanyThe hosts never responded to messages I sent them, I found it out extremely disheartening, there was absolutely no form of communication to the hosts, whether it was through WhatsApp or the booking.com app. - The apartment was very cold and there was only 1 heater provided in the entire apartment, we had to move from room to room with it, we found it very troublesome. -The backup lights for load shedding need to be changed because they barely lasted an hour, even after having charged them all day. - We couldn’t use the swimming pool because it wasn’t cleaned, so that’s too bad.
The apartment is very beautiful, well decorated and modernized. It looks looks even better than the pictures! A very beautiful place to stay during your Plettenberg Bay visit. The kitchen was well equipped with crockery and cutlery. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very spacious which was a plus!

Amenities are plenty and of high quality. Location very good, 5 minutes drive from Robberg reserve. The host (Tim) is very attentive and helpful. Highly recommended!

South AfricaThe place is clean and modern, very well equipped, but sadly, we could not enjoy any of the amenities due to some power outage issues, not at fault of the owner, hopefully next time we can truly enjoy it.

South AfricaNot the apartment’s fault but loadshedding twice a day means planning accordingly. The main bedroom bed is also quite hard for me but that’s just a personal preference.
What a perfect home to stay at if you’re looking for something modern, close to the beach and easy access to stores in town. Loved all the little details included (heater and blankets for winter) and the kitchen was a dream to cook in!

United KingdomThe Only thing was trying to dry clothes. The washing line at the back doesn't get sun so was difficult to get anything dry. Maybe a clothes line to put inside the house where the sun shined through. I can understand the complex doesn't want washing. hanging infront of the houses. Won't look neat.
