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 reviewWhen we checked in we were greatest by 2 ladies with big smiles and they seem to see that I was exhausted from the 8 hour drive and offered me a complimentary glass of wine and my husband had their amazing coffee. We were walked into the dining & lounge area and the view if breathtaking. Our room exceeded our expectations my daughter loved her bed and my husband loved that he could walk to fetch his race number for the marathon. Breakfast was amazing freshly squeezed juice with the most amazing muesli. The fire place at night gives a relaxing intimate moment, with a glass of red wine in hand I enjoyed a relaxing moment with great conversations with the staff. We would definitely book this property again
Maybe they could look into daily housekeeping servicing of the rooms but it was not a train smash as we quickly made our beds and went to paint the town as we come from Wavecrest beach hotel and spa and we were in need of different views.

Verified reviewLOVED THE BREAKFAST AND THE LADIES WHO QOEK AND RUN THE VIEWS. WE FELT WELCOMED AND THEY WERE VERY KIND AND HELPFUL.
The only thing that could be a plus is to put safety gates on sliding doors so you can keep the doors open during a nap without having to worry about Monkeys visiting and/or an aircon. Other than that our stay was perfect & homely

Verified reviewHouse is located high above Knysna so that you have an amazing view over the bay. Room has been very spacious. Host has been very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice.
It has been a little unlucky, there hasn't been a baby high chair.

Verified reviewIt’s a nice & quiet place with beautiful views. Super nice staff, so friendly, lovely breakfast
The steps that go up to the rooms, not ideal, there’s no elevator & you need to carry your heavy luggage with you

Verified reviewThis is the best fruit art I have seen in any hotel or B+B and she did it differently every morning. Fresh fruit with such a big variety. Full continental breakfast's for each and every guest with a nice cup of coffee, Clean rooms with fresh towels daily, , games to play, books to read, daily laundry service, Sundowners on the lovely stoep overlooking the Knysna Lake in the evenings, seeing the birds going home at night, the lights over the lake at night, the manageress's advice of what to do in the area helped us to get to the Heads view point, the beach, the hiking trail, church on Christmasday etc.
That we had to leave early :(

Verified reviewThe view was fantastic!
Knysna is not a place to travel with dogs. All restaurants in whole Knysna don’t allow dogs. Since the guest house is not self-catering the only way to get food is to order. But there is even no delivery to the guest house. You have to collect it. The guest house is nice but we can’t recommend Knysna for travellers with a dog.
