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.).

We are touring South Africa for the first time. I have hand picked some lovely places to stay in however the “Lookout” run by a lovely couple is truly exceptional. The views are stunning and the interior has been designed with much thought. Breakfast and especially the scrambled eggs is a delight.

United KingdomOnly thing missing was a swimming pool. However if staying for more than one night excellent swimming facilities exist 5 minutes away either in the sea or the huge water park.
Everything was so well organised, from the website , to the communication with the owners. Elzanne and Herman were perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The location of the guest house with views over the harbour and bay was ideal. Secure parking was next to the house. A delicious breakfast was professionally prepared and served on the sunny veranda overlooking the town.Bedroom was large with a TV, fridge, aircon and a large bathroom with a shower. Guests also have access to a large lounge with comfy seating, TV and pool table. The room also had a well stocked honesty bar.

They one night we stayed at The Lookout had been very good and completely relaxing. Elzanne and Herman are great and very kind hosts! We liked it there a lot and had excellent service from both of them. It is very clean and ideally located to explore Mossel Bay. Nothing to complain. My girlfriend still dreams about the avocado & egg toast for breakfast ;-) We would always come back without hesitation. Thanks again!!

The hosts are genuinely friendly and make you feel very welcomed. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The view is a dream. Breakfast was super yummy, served on the terrace. I so regret we stayed there only one night. It is a lovely place.

SwitzerlandNothing to complain about..
From the welcoming to the good bye - everything was perfect. The house is more like a villa with an amazing view of Mossel Bay. The owners of the guesthouse welcomed us with a drink and gave us recommendations about what to do in Mossel Bay and where to go for drinks and food. The room was really beautiful and modern, the bed was super comfortable. We enjoyed a day with strolling around in Mossel Bay and having drinks and a nice diner. The breakfast ist also lovely, freshly made by the hosts. We would come back to the lookout guesthouse when in Western Cape just to relax a bit at this wonderful place.
