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.).

South AfricaThe triple room is rather small and more suitable for a couple with a small child.
Paternoster Hotel is part of the heritage of the town. The beach is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. We booked a triple room at the last minute for 1 night sharing amongst 3 adults. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice. Enjoyed the evening and morning walks at the beach.

United StatesThe lighting could have been brighter, but that's nitpicking compared to the fun of staying at this hotel.
This was a fun place to stay! It's a popular centrally-located hub of activity in Paternoster, combining the hotel, its famous panty bar, and a restaurant with indoor, outdoor, and veranda seating. Full of friendly people. Our room was more than adequate for a couple of nights and had a corridor that conveniently led to the hotel's secure parking area. Being towards the rear of the hotel meant it was quiet despite the activity in the front. We ran into some friends unexpectedly, so purchased some crayfish (spiny lobster) from local fishermen and had a tree-shaded 'kreefbraai' in the picnic area adjacent to the hotel, which for a few rand extra furnished us the pots, dishes, and flatware needed for our feast. A nice cooked-to-order traditional full-English breakfast was included. Plenty of other restaurants withing short walking distance or a quick drive, and beach access is right across the road and down a gentle hill. You're going to end up here at the hotel at some point anyway, so you might as well stay for a couple of nights.

Laundry facilities available at Sea Breeze, walking distance and very well priced. Breakfast met our religious requirements.

South AfricaLocated next to the main road, pedestrians passing are loud, really loud, the staff would yell a reply back, not considering guests. On a Saturday morning the locals visited the bar, it was not pleasant.
Breakfast was very basic. but nicely prepared and enough to start the day. Would have preferred a juice, yogurt and some fruit.
