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.).

The Thatch House exceeded our expectations. I'd recommend anyone looking at this property to take a look at their website for imagery, these do not do it justice! Staff we excellent and consistently went above and beyond. Our only disgruntle is that we only booked for 1 night! We'll certainly be returning and cannot wait to do so.

United KingdomFrom the website we thought there was a gym on site. It states fitness centre on booking.com and cardio gym in the on-site guest info. This wasn’t the case. This was the only fault we could think of.
Absolutely stunning! One of the most impressive hotels we’ve ever stayed in. All rooms had incredible decor. The property oozed luxury. The service and food matched the surroundings.

GermanyJust the Wi-Fi was too slow. Maybe to improve: a jacuzzi would have been ideal in such lovely place!
After many years travelling and staying at many hotels we can only say: THAT Was THE HOTEL! Very quite location, in front of a lagoon. The room was enormous and fantastic, really comfortable, with all Kind of details (including books!!!). The common areas were as well do cozy and well decorated. Dinner & breakfast really good. But the best... The employees! Thanks for everything, it was FANTASTIC!

Saudi ArabiaIf there's a place that epitomizes the pinnacle of hospitality and attention to detail, it is The Thatch House Hermanus. My stay here was nothing short of magnificent, from the grandeur of the premises to the nuances of their service. Firstly, let’s talk about the food. Every meal was an exquisite journey of culinary delight, masterfully crafted and presented. The flavors, the freshness, and the creativity left us eagerly anticipating every subsequent meal. However, what stands out most from our stay was an unexpected turn of events that showcased the exceptional character of this establishment. We inadvertently left behind a pair of shoes upon checkout. Before panic could even set in, Kim, a true gem of an employee, was on top of it. Not only did she promptly locate the shoes, but she ensured they were shipped back to us in record time. Such gestures of genuine care and professionalism are rare and speaks volumes about the ethos of The Thatch House Hermanus. A hotel can be luxurious, but it's the people and their unwavering dedication to guests that truly elevate an experience. Thank you, Kim, and the entire team at The Thatch House, for making our stay memorable in more ways than one. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking an unparalleled experience in hospitality. We will certainly be returning!
