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 reviewThe host was wonderful and cooked us a delicious dinner at very late notice. The next morning we had another great breakfast. The property has a beautiful view but we were only there for one night and it was drizzling.
Unfortunately it was raining so one had to be careful of all the stairs (at my age). I felt the towels were very small.

Verified reviewWhen I decided to make a reservation it was all about the location and it did not disappoint. What a fantastic direct view on the ocean!
The fact that I only stayed for 1 night, but this was not a vacation.

Verified reviewYou have to be extremely observant of the only two access roads to this bay, there’s a good stretch of around 20km that it is not paved, it’s not a horrible road but it would be a bit bumpy if your car is not high enough. Once you reach this village, it’s peaceful. You’re overlooking at the grand ocean and the host is extremely welcoming! He made sure to wait on me as I arrived late at night and was up first thing in the morning with the best attitude to make a delicious breakfast for you. Rooms are a bit outdated but comfy enough… there’s a dog on the property who is sweet but also very protective of the premises, I would double think before coming with my own pets. Wish I could have stayed for at least 2 nights. Parking is on the outside but with only one access roads, right by the rooms.

Verified reviewI can see why Nick gets fabulous reviews- he is charming & interesting, has had such a fascinating life and cooks a fab dinner & breakfast. We all loved his hospitality. We were 7 Canadians & an ex Zimbabwean. I'll e-mail Nick about some small issues but honestly, it was a great place to spend the night with the waves crashing & Basil wandering in & out! Value for money. If upgraded rooms and a tarred road are on your must-have list, this is not for you. This is 5 star African hospitality, scenery & location!!!!
