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 reviewWelcoming and personal atmosphere, no problem even when we arrived late. Wonderful breakfast, very flexible and helpful staff when we needed to eat earlier to make it in time for departure. Absolutely gorgeous little cottage next to the pool, in a beautiful and calm garden.
The beds in the room was not as comfortable as those in the cottage.
Good day Helena, thank you for the great review. it was a pleasure hosting you and your family.

Verified reviewWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming B&B! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The rooms were cozy, beautifully decorated, and impeccably clean, offering all the comforts of home and more. The attention to detail throughout the property was evident, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The breakfast each morning was a true highlight, with fresh, delicious, and locally sourced ingredients that made the start of our day perfect. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made excellent recommendations for local activities and dining. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay—this B&B is a true gem, and we’ll definitely be back!"
Thank you so much for your review Ayanda. We work hard to make every stay memorable. We where blessed to have you in Knysna. we look forward to welcome you back at Stannards

Verified reviewWe enjoyed our stay at the cottage, it was spacious and neat. The hosts were very friendly and accommodative. The location was very convenient for us and quiet, which resonated with our wishes. We would definitely book again.
It seems the alarm is activated in the evenings, which is odd because as a guest I could be coming into the property at any time of the night and I don't expect a knock at my door at midnight from the security company and owner to check if I just arrived. I appreciate the security and I think they need to secure the place without inconveniencing the guests.

Verified reviewBreakfast was good. The location was ideal and was well presented. Lovely gardens and pool. The owners were very welcoming and hospitable. Also, very useful was the laundry service.
We had an ingress of water, one night, due to a heavy rain storm. This caused water damage to seats, blankets and some clothes. A freak incident but concerning.
Thank you for the review, Mike. That was a really bad hailstorm with quite a lot of rain. We have already had a consultation with the engineer and roof repair is well under way. Sorry once again for the inconvenience. We endeavor not to have such incidents.

Verified reviewThe room layouts were perfect for us and the house is spacious and beautiful. I was sad we couldn't stay longer but will definitely look at booking a longer stay in advance next time.
The only thing missing for us was a bath, because I have a toddler, but for the rest we loved everything about the unit, the team and the location.
