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 AfricaCould have been a bit cleaner. Lounge suite and cushions had a terribly dirty smell. There were only lamps in the second bedroom which made the room dim. The guy that collected the ups was rude because he left the unit and reentered unannounced to use the bathroom. Teaspoons need to be replenished. Balcony outside the kitchen could have been tidied. The toilets can be replaced with modern toilets. Need long (full) mirrors.
The views, security, the ambience was great. The towels both bath and beach towels were provided. The TV in the main bedroom was great. The space was wonderful. The amenities in the unit eg. Placemats, coasters, dishes were plentiful. The gift basket was a wonderful addition as well as the little packages in the bathrooms. The drying racks in the bathroom are a great addition. The cupboard space was phenomenal. The spacious bedrooms were wonderful. Loved being able to sit outside where there was plentiful space.

South AfricaThe access gate needs maintenance, could not open and the stairway to the beach isn't safe and easy for kids to use.
Beautiful sea view, wonderful family stay. Quality and real value for money. Kids loved the pool and Comforts of a spacious beautiful apartment.

South AfricaThe stay at The Islands 13 was disappointing to be honest. Clearly when one rents this apartment it is for the view, but I am not sure the price is justified - the apartment is very tired and long past needing a serious renovation: 1. At least 4 lightbulbs were not working whilst we were there; 2. The cupboards are generally in need of replacement; 3. There was clearly a problem with the ceiling between the kitchen and lounge and it has been addressed by simply pasting a piece of polystyrene over it; 4. The bedding is tired, the pillows disgusting - take off the pillow covers and they are yellow; 5. The wiring was messy and in the lounge in particular probably a hazard; 6. The braai (BBQ) was dirty and greasy; 7. The floor was dirty.
The views are great from the apartment
