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.).

United KingdomDealing with the host was a bit of a challenge and your stay comes with a lot of rules - which you only get to see after the booking - the biggest one being the electricity costs. The property operates on a prepaid meter. You cannot keep the doors open to the flat because of the monkeys and we discovered, not even the security gate in the lounge could keep them out, as they pushed right through it - so, the aircons are required. We ran out of electricity within a few days and when I asked the host to top up, I got the rules recited back to me and she impressed how expensive electricity was! When I'm paying for the use of a flat, on my holiday, I don't want to be worrying about the cost of electricity and how I'm conducting my day to day activities. We were respectful, turned aircons off when not needed or out - what more can be expected of us? Never have I stayed somewhere, where the host has made the utility costs, my problem! She also asks for an addition non-refundable charge, over and above the deposit, in order for her to connect the DSTV (which is a basic package - no sport) and the WiFi - this wasn't noted in the ad when I booked. Overall, she was pleasant enough but I felt like I had far too many dealings with her, that the rules should be made clear prior to someone paying for a non-refundable booking, that the guest should not be made to feel guilty for using the aircons in the flat and that all costs should be transparent prior to booking. I'd hesitate to stay here again, due to the host - not the apartment.
The location of this block is perfect - we stay here often! Balcony over looking the water, with the beach just across the road - can't ask for more! The apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed.

South AfricaThe was a washing machine which had a note(Do not use the washing machine) and it was disappointing not to wash small clothes while still there for three days, not sure if it was not working as the reason was not indicated and I didnt bother to ask. It was also disappointing to acknowledge when I found out the DSTV had no Supersport channels to watch sports.
The property is located close to the beach front. It is in a safe secured gated compound. The place was nicely spacious with a balcony with sitting and braai stand. There was unlimited Wi-Fi. All rooms have aircons. The host did us a huge favor and gave us permission to check in around 12 which is is two hours before because she had no booking in day before. She was also nice to give us an extra time after check out time expired to get our packing in order when we realized our checking out time is over. The host's response via call or what's up was on point and when she was busy to answer she always comes back.

South AfricaThe oven had no shelves or roasting dish in the oven, so could not do anything in the oven or grill anything. The weather was rainy so we needed the oven as we could'nt braai. The TV reception is very bad and when I asked my neighbour how he's was in the rainy weather he said it was perfect. The TV didnt work properly even with normal weather. A new booster needs to be installed. The toilets also need looking at as they dont flush the paper away. The monkeys are a pest , but this is now the owners problem and as a town they need to address the problem. You cant eat on your patio at all as the attack.
View was great. Everything was as per the photos. The air conditioners were great to have with the humidity. Security staff were very helpful and the garden complex staff very friendly.
