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 AfricaWe can't fault the Restio for anything! It was perfect.
The perfect escape to the lovely town of Napier. Our stay at the Restio was exceptional, to say the least! Maya and Jonno are amazing hosts who are warm and welcoming. The guesthouse is so beautiful and our room was stunning. Breakfast in the morning was so delicious. You cannot visit Napier or drive past without staying at the Restio! You will not be disappointed. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and cannot wait to visit again. Thank you Maya and Jonno for having us.

United KingdomLeaving, we wished we had stayed longer and explored the area a little.
Restio Guest House is a beautifully restored house. Lots of original features and very comfortable. Furnished to suit the age of the property. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and very tasty.

South AfricaThere was absolutely nothing to fault.
I've stayed at guesthouses around the world and this is one of the best I've stayed at. It felt like home from home, but with a lovely dose of relaxed luxury. The rooms are superbly comfortable, the breakfast was exceptional, excellent wifi throughout the property, and the service from staff and Maya and Johnathan, the owners, is noteworthy. And, an added bonus, is a gorgeous coffee shop and bakery on the property and a beautiful old oak tree to sit under to enjoy their freshly baked treats. I'll definitely be back.

The victorian styled modern rooms are cosy and warm! The look and feel of the Restio - feels like home! We loved Mocca (the cute dog)! The owners are very warm, friendly, welcoming and very accommodating - we requested breakfast as a takeaway as opposed to a sit down due to us having to make our way to the Voet Van Afrika run and they happily obliged. We definitely look forward to staying at the Restio again soon!

South AfricaBecause Napier is so hot in summer maybe a ceiling fan or air cooler would help more than a fan - however we had a fan which helped a lot.
The breakfast was amazing the fruit bowl had a medley of fruit yoghurt honey and muesli and tasted great - the eggs was perfect and we had incredible home baked bread

Absolutely everything! The hosts were super friendly and made me feel very comfortable and 'at home'. Breakfast was delicious and the option of having dinner at the guesthouse was really convenient. The room I stayed in was very clean and spacious. Having a rechargeable lamp in the room to deal with loadshedding made a big difference - there was never complete darkness. Mocca the dog was also wonderful! The rates were reasonable too.

Although the property is centrally situated in town, because it is sloped down from the main road and faces the farmland behind the town, it is surprisingly quiet and peaceful.
