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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

GermanyThere's nothing to complain about..
A really nice and small apartment providing everything you need for a few nights with a wonderful garden and surroundings. A very comfortable bed and a huge bathroom with a separate toilet. Information and communication at its best, while everything worked out super easy. It is a bit off from the main city of Knysna which makes it also very quiet. Offers secure private parking.

United StatesThe property is beautiful. The rooms/suites face a gorgious garden and private swimming pool. The rooms are appointed with modern and stylish touches, from the kitchen to bathrooms. We met the caretaker who is a delightful lady taking pride in how the property looks and is enjoyable for visitors. Armadillo Studios has solar power and does water collection - the owners are very environmentally conscious.

Switzerland-
Excellent accommodation. We loved everything about the place: the tropical garden, the spacious rooms, the design and coziness of the house , comfy beds and pool. Unfortunately, we did not manage to enjoy the pool but it looked amazing and super clean. Everything is very well maintained and clean by the staff. I would suggest a 2 nights stay to get to fully take in the facilities and Beaty of the house.

MozambiqueThe only thing that we thought is that the kitchenette is quite small to really cook so you should think of doing simple stuff such as an omelette or a salad, not real cooking (small fridge and small induction plate). You should know that going there. We loved Themba who works there but it would have been nice to meet the owners and greet them.
We really liked the place and our son (6 years old) loved it and asked us when we will go back! We will if we go back to Knysna. The pool which is shared with max three other families is great to have kids mingle and play together in a safe environment and we loved the garden. The room is large and very confortable and the shower is amazing. The area is also very calm and relaxing and we slept very well. It is easy to go jogging in the morning in a beautiful setting and it is close to major attractions points in Knysna. We also liked the Nespresso machine and the possibility to do laundry at a reasonable price.

United KingdomThis place was amazing. I couldn't believe when we arrived and it was so beautiful and spotless, even with things like labelling the light switches. Think heaven and then dial it up a notch. The eco credentials even make you feel virtuous. The building did have a temporary problem with the water supply, but the owners were really responsive and the property manager turned up to fix it - on Christmas Day. The spacious flat gives a real feeling of luxury.
