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 KingdomStayed here as doing a Shark Cage dive which the lovely Nicola at the guest house also arranged for us. Perfect position for the dive and the fabulous restaurant apposite. Comfy spacious bedroom and a nice touch was the honesty box in the communal area for wine/beer. Great decor throughout. Really enjoyed our stay. Also the 2 ladies in the morning were very friendly and kind to us. Would highly recommend!

United KingdomThere is nothing I could point to
Very helpful and kind experience at a beautiful guest house. Helped with last minute dinner reservation for a large group many of whom were staying at another location. Accommodating by providing access to room for shower after diving and held breakfast. We would definitely have been happy to stay longer and it's on our list of places we would return to if in the area. We would absolutely recommend this guest house.

the bedrooms were big with big attached bathrooms. It was very close to the shark diving tour meeting points. It served my purpose well. There is a restaurant right opposite that has an excellent menu. The place felt very safe.

United KingdomNothing!
This place is a little gem and we are so glad we made a last minute decision to stay here! We wanted to do a boat trip in Gansbaai and as it’s a long day trip from Cape Town we decided to extend our trip. Nicola was extremely friendly and welcoming from when we made our booking, contacting us with travel information and directions. She also made some dinner reservations for us and her restaurant recommendation was superb . We got a very warm welcome on arrival, the guest house is delightful and we were really comfortable there. Everything we needed was provided, in a beautiful setting. Next day, we were provided a lovely breakfast before we set off on our boat trip. We were permitted to leave our bags and car, for collection when we were finished. Nicola also gave us some advice on places to visit nearby and we enjoyed the rest of the day in the area. We wish we had spent longer there! This place is lovely and the host is so kind and accommodating.
