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 AfricaThe parking is a little difficult due to small space and sharp decline. Due to loadshedding the swimming pool was not quite clean and all electrical appliances (lights, fridges and fans in communal areas) that were switched on, went on and off continuously for the duration of the loadshedding periods. The bathroom and toilet of my upgraded room were not ensuite and I struggled to unlock the gate to the beach area.
The location and ocean views are exceptional. Kaylee was very friendly and upgraded me to a larger room and was also willing to accommodate a special breakfast request. The beach at Trafalgar is nice for swimming and long walks. Safe and secure environment.

GermanyAlone in jacuzzi is only half of the fun you could get.
Caylee is a darling. It seems she knew in advance what to do when a lamp was broken, the loadsheding nerves some guests. A freshly prepared fruit bowl, warm chocolate muffins was the real or active mercy behind the curtains 😋

The house is beautiful as in the pictures the gentle sounds of the waves is soothing. There is rock haven close where they have good food at a decent price. Also the location is central to most activities in the area. The host is an absolute angel, her welcome and interest in you well been is genuine and caring.

South AfricaDidn't realise it was communal. It's a big place. We luckily had it to ourselves 2 out of 3 nights. Will check carefully in future to avoid communal self catering venus. Magazine rack directly behind loo, not a good idea!
Good location and sea view. Helpful, pleasant staff.

South AfricaRooms have no tv. Sharing the tv lounge with strangers is not ideal. Breakfast was disappointing. A full English breakfast would have been a better preference. Instead, we had fruit salad and muffins. We had to make other breakfast arrangements instead for our stay. The house could be better with a cleaning service that is not an additional charge. Making beds and washing dishes on vacation is just uncool. The path to the beach needs attention. The steps have collapsed, and the gate is very hard to unlock. It would have been nice to know the house has a resident cat beforehand luckily we didn't mind it. The room had no aircon or fan.We slept with open windows as it was very hot.
The house is beautiful, close to the sea and clean. Beautiful braai facilities, well equipped kitchen. The host was friendly and assisted when we needed help.

United KingdomIt was really odd...a fellow guest cooked us breakfast - which was meant to be included, the bedroom door had no lock - which the hostess then put in, the bathroom was outside the room across a common kitchen area, the kitchen area had very little equipment, the beach was far and I wasn't given keys to get though the gates at the bottom for access. It was expensive for this kind of weirdness - we won't return.
the hostess was very sweet and the room had stunning views.

South AfricaNo aircon in the rooms made it a very uncomfortable stay. We were given a portable fan. Also there could be some sharing of kitchen and bath facilities if you dont bookthe entire floor, so something to look out for when booking.
