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.).

We loved absolutely everything about our stay at the Double Dutch. Kate and Nathalie greeted us when we arrived with a warm welcome. We were upgraded to the Pelican suite, a real treat. The suite is decorated and furnished to a lovely standard and comes with a large bathroom with a shower and rolled top bath. The wow factor of the suite is the view of the garden and lagoon, the gardens are immaculate and full of beautiful plants and flowers, a real paradise! Kate and Nathalie served a delicious breakfast, we enjoyed sitting in the breakfast room enjoying the views. Kate and Nathalie recommended two local restaurants during our stay, they were both fantastic. Nathalie displays her amazing artwork in the guest house, what a talent! We could not leave without buying one of her prints, we will always look at the print and remember our stay at the Double Dutch. We highly recommend the Double Dutch, wonderful owners who care about their guests and the service they offer.

GermanyWhere to start! My father and I loved everything about this property: from the owners (I cannot stress enough how heartwarming they are!), to the staff, to the amazing location, the view, the facilities, the room. When you arrive, you immediately get greeted by two very friendly smiling faces. Klaske and Nathalie make you feel straight at home. We weren’t too sure what to do in Knysna, but within 10mins, Klaske had already booked our activity for the next day, and had booked a fantastic restaurant for dinner. We also had some laundry we wanted to wash and had missed the daily pick-up, but there again, we were given a wonderful recommendation for a laundrette in the area (laundry was done within 24H and this during Christmas time). Breakfast was always a treat as both Nathalie and Klaske are there to greet and interact with their guests. And when we were lounging by the pool, Nathalie came around to ask us whether we needed anything. The atmosphere is very familiar and homely - like a home away from home (which is exactly what my father and me needed). Our stop in Knysna and ultimately our stay at Double wDutch is our favourite of our whole Garden Route trip and we cannot wait to go back. Klaske & Nathalie: dankie, arigatou, danke, dankje, merci beaucoup!

The B&B is well situated with the chalets' verandas overlooking the water at Knysna. Our hosts were helpful and we followed their recommendations for dining and shopping/local markets etc. The property is about 5 min drive from the centre of Knysna and generally we enjoyed the pleasant, friendly vibe.

NetherlandsDouble Dutch is magic, and the ladies who run it are amazing. A short drive off the main access road to Knysna, the B&B has amazing views of the waterfront and the Knysna Heads. The property itself is beautifully designed and maintained, and the rooms are excellent. Breakfast is prepared by the owners themselves and starting your day watching the scenery is bliss.
