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 AfricaThe Cove is a fabulous place to stay! My friends and I had a bit of a reunion/holiday and The Cove was perfect for us. Joan met us on arrival, told us everything we needed to know, and made us feel quite at home. The house was so beautiful, and the view was so stunning that we thought we might never leave the room! But we did see the sights, and The Cove is in a great location from which to see the sights of Cape Town. I will definitely be back!

AngolaThe barbecue facility wasn't working at all as we were expecting from what we've read on site. However, the flat has a big stove in the kitchen that made it okay for us.
The flat is spacious and airy, with sea view, it was really nice. My kids enjoyed it. The location is just a few minutes' walk to the beach.

AustraliaSteep staircase access to property and lack of parking in driveway- had to park across the road. Access to the property would limit any person with a disability- there was another lower apartment that had lift access.
Great location and amazing views over Fishoek beach. Beautiful furnishings.

United StatesWe were a party of 11 and so booked the 2 apartments. This worked well. Very roomy and nicely laid out. The rooms were very nice but not luxurious. certainly perfect for a beach holiday. The owners were very accommodating. The stairs were quite steep but there was a funicular for luggage.

United Kingdomsecurity was worrying - only one front door lock worked. one bedroom window couldn’t close. we weren’t warned about the fact that loads of people walked past down the side of the property. kitchen - water filter was mouldy, ants on work surfaces when we arrived, cutlery drawer was really dirty, one of the drawers was broken. Twin beds extremely uncomfortable.
the view was fantastic. the funicular was fun. master bedroom was nice. 2nd bedroom was nice although bathroom and shower not lit suitably

QatarThe house was tired and needed sprucing up. The paint was peeling off walls/ceiling in places, the bath plug leaked and there was a lack of bins in bathrooms. There was a mix of cooking utensils in the kitchen, some that should be thrown out because they are so old. There was a blind on the one window where the sun shone in the morning. A further blind would be good for the other window as it is too bright. We were asked not to open certain windows as they would fall off. We were told that there would be a refurbishment later that year. We had a car rental, but the house's garage was being rented out to someone else for a couple of weeks and we had to park just off the street which was difficult to get to as the person renting the garage parked in front of the garage, not in it- one of our hubcaps was stolen.
Beautiful view of Fish Hoek. There was an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining room that could cater for a large number of people. The house has an impressive history.

AustraliaNot 1 matching wine glass. No champagne glasses. This was quite disappointing , given the standard of the rest of the accommodation.
Spectacular view over False Bay, framed by mountains; a great setting opposite Jager's Walk . Could use the garage for the rented car, which was great.

United KingdomThe upstairs and mid floor apartments are not adequately insulated from one another from a sound proofing and security perspective. The 6 of us were on the mid floor apartment and we did have disturbed sleep due to noise from the upstairs guests. The apartment is also generally quite tired and in need of some preventative maintenance (such as toilets, windows, and doors).
It is spacious and well equipped with a good view and central location.
