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 AfricaThere was nothing to dislike, everything exceeded expectations, especially given our last-minute booking and specific needs with our pet. I am a pet lover, so NOTHING to dislike!
I loved the warm welcome from the host, who was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially with our newly adopted dachshund’s socialization and separation anxiety issues. The room was spotlessly clean, tidy, and equipped with coffee, tea, TV, internet, and DSTV, making it a relaxing stay. The property is beautifully maintained, architecturally pleasing, and in a lovely area of Port Elizabeth. The host’s pets were friendly and added to the charm of the place.

Bev!!! You're a star, thank you so much for the wonderful stay. We were a family of 3, mom, son (8y/o) and myself, Bev was sooooo helpful to us, she was even willing to offer us an early check in since we were travelling from North West for a graduation ceremony starting at 2pm. Facility is clean, neighbourhood is safe, everything is just perfect, good value for your money. Again, Bev, thank you so much ❤️

South AfricaNot a deal breaker but when booking, check out times says from 9:30 am to 11am. Should rather start 10am as this is checking out time.
Bev, the owner is friendly and we received a warm welcome. Perfect for a family get away with Beach, Boardwalk and variety of restaurants in a comfortable proximity. Quiet and safe especially have my kids with.

South AfricaWhile the location is in Summerstrand, it’s quite a long walk to the beach if you don’t have a car or prefer to stroll, especially with children. There is a small complex nearby, and the Boardwalk is a bit further, but still a stretch on foot when accompanied by little ones. The night we checked in was quite humid, making for a hot and sticky evening. This wasn’t the host's fault, as she did offer an extension cord to bring one fan closer to the rooms. The noise factor from the fan was just the issue.
Easy check-in with clear and helpful communication from the host, who was also friendly and hospitable—a definite plus. The self-catering unit was very well-equipped, making it a true gem! It also had a spacious bathroom with a shower, and everything was impeccably clean.

South AfricaAlthough we had fans in every room, the nights were very hot. Aircons would have been excellent.
Bev and her team were simply outstanding. Loved all the little thoughtful touches like mosquito repellants that made our stay not only comfortable but home away from home. The uncapped wifi and full dstv and netflix was also a bonus. Daily house keeping at no additional cost was most appreciated. The area is quite and peaceful. The garden, pool and outdoor area was simply fantastic. We loved it so much that we wanted to extend our stay but unfortunately it was fully booked. We most definitely will choose Toscana Cottage as our go to place the next time we in PE
