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.).

Very nice reception from Marc, my host. The Vishuis - self catering - is a hidden gem in Hermanus, very cosy, roomy and nice in a quiet street. Everything is very close by, restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets, you name it. Very recommended!

Any Unit in The Vishuis is just absolutely fabulous. This was our 2nd staying here and this time around just confirmes what we felt on our shorter stay before: this place is a classy home away from home. Every single thing you could possibly need in a self catering house close to the vibrant center and a warm, welcoming host that will give you all the tips you need 🧡

United KingdomThe kitchenette is a little too small to use for more than a cup of coffee or snack with a glass of wine! This is OK as there are so many great restaurants and cafes in the area.
This fisherman's cottage was the perfect little stay in Hermanus. A few blocks back from the main square the road is quiet but everything you need is easily accessible on foot. The cottage was great with a small relaxing lounge area and comfy bed. We were greeted by Marc on arrival and when we left he was also able to give us a great plan of where to stop on our drive over the mountains to Cape Town.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like at all, we had a lovely stay, if I was to improve on perfection then a two ring stove/ hob to cook a simple meal and a toaster would be a winner, but it's fantastic as it is!
Our "cottage" is one of 4 units on the site, around a central courtyard. The accommodation is top notch, spacious, well furnished and welcoming, Marc himself couldn't have been more attentive and helpful. Location wise it's in the old part of town, in a quiet street, just minutes walk from the shore and restaurants etc. Perfect.
