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 AfricaThere was no instructions on the use of gas water heater and the stove since we were not at all familiar with it. Also the tv was not working it kept on getting stuck. The place could use some upgrading
I like the location of the place. It was serene. I like that the host was reachable when we needed assistance. The host and the helper were very friendly. The place was clean

South AfricaIt was a little too rustic for my taste, and we had not realized that access was only via an unmade road (4x4 required). Restaurants were not close by, however if you’re self-catering everything is there for you.
The views were amazing and the kitchen was well equipped. Pieter was very welcoming. Outside terrace was lovely - I should have read in more detail about what the property offered. Wifi worked well and whilst we didn’t have load shedding they were set up with a generator and gas facilities.

South AfricaThere was a family below us and there was constant arguing, fights and vulgar the entire weekend. Only downside to it really and contemplating going back but other than that 10/10 for me.
The accomodation was great, friendly people and great view. Worth the money.

South AfricaGagecko come in when windows are open which makes hard to get fresh air - maybe a bit a net on the window could work. If you not afraid of creeping creatures you good to go. However, to mitigate that there are fans. The balcony is nice but not baby friendly, if you don't bring babies it is a nice chill place. Mtn network - zilch
Quiet and Tranquility and the ocean view! We loved the place, everything you need in a house to enjoy the stay is available

South AfricaThe seawater was very dirty and I personally would not swim there, it was due to the rain. Otherwise it would be a different story. We still enjoyed our stroll on the beach
Pieter, the host was very friendly and assisted us where he could. Even mom caught a lift when she was too tired to walk any further. You could also listen to his stories - very interesting. The one thing I am really sorry was the fact that we did not go out on the boat with him. It was just too late and the rain also did not really helped. It would be an adventure to see all the waterfalls from the seaside. It was self-catering accommodation and everything was there. The beds were very comfortable. I would suggest that you first buy what you need before you go to your accommodation. You can also enjoy a stroll on the beach.

United KingdomIt was certainly not as described
Absolutely nothing, we didn’t set foot inside. We could find nobody there to help us gain access and so after waiting around an hour we left and found alternative accommodation The road to the property was quite unsuitable for the saloon car that I was driving I think that I should be refunded the money that I paid
