How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe had lovely hosts and felt welcome immediately. Not only are the rooms spacious beautiful and comfy but everything we needed was provided for. Extra blankets, a swimming pool with extra towels, body wash and a lovely homemade muesli, yoghurt, fresh bread and homemade jam. French press coffee. Overall we had an amazing stay with the most wonderful people. We were also fortunate enough to see an eagle in their garden and whales in hermanus. I'd recommend a snorkel at Davies pool if you're in the area. Thanks so much Fiona and Bob and Zola, We will be back ❤️
Nothing. Everything was above par

Verified reviewI liked the home made bread for breakfast and sitting on the terrasse with the great view. The fish in the restaurant directly on the beach was great.

Verified reviewNaturally warm and welcoming hosts. Felt comfortable and totally at home. Plenty of safe parking. Quiet area close to everything. Tasty warm fresh bread for breakfast and a help yourself vibe. So relaxing. Lovely enclosed pool area. Instead of the nasty little commercial coffee sachets there was a little jar of good coffee in the room. And plenty of space for stuff.

Verified reviewThe hosts were super kind and friendly, and really made us feel at home! For us one of the best hosts we ever hand - giving us lots of tips for restaurants, hikes, and things to do at our upcoming destinations. The place is also very nicely located right at the river and the bed was amazing - we slept perfect!

Verified reviewFriendly reception. Safe environment
Breakfast very basic. Expected at least a laid table with facilities at hand and not hidden in a cupboard. Wash basin in bathroom rather uncomfortable to use. Could not see through the windows. Difficulty in opening the windows.

Verified reviewFiona was so welcoming and responsive and helped us with directions and advice, the room was comfortable and clean and nice, and we got two homemade loaves of bread for breakfast in the morning, along with a beautiful view, birds singing and frogs croaking.
Nothing, it was great!
