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.).

AustraliaNot so keen on the winter sheets!
Beautiful setting. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and it was great to have a Weber braai/ BBQ on the deck. Plenty of hot water for showering and bath. Highly recommended - we would have liked to stay longer so we could use the kayaks.

Hong KongThe bed wobbled badly and we had to put a towel under one leg to stop it. Additionally, the bedsheet were very old and rough.
Our room was dried by the beach so the views were amazing. The lovely outside deck was next to the braai and it caters for lovely dinners outside. The kitchen is well furnished and everything is very new.

South AfricaParking bay is small, but thats if I'm being absolutely pedantic.
Absolutely everything!!!!! The location is on the beach and it makes you feel like you're in some small European village by die sea. It's incredibly peaceful and relaxing, you feel as if you're miles from people, but you're actually so close to town, it will take you 5min to get to the waterfront. Will 100% be coming back again!!!!

NetherlandsWe had an issue with the plumbing while we were there - everything was completely blocked due to the tree roots growing in the pipes - but the maintenance guy worked very hard to try and fix it and clean up the apartment. It was a bit cold and we didn't have a heater - heated blankets in the beds would be appreciated. Parking in the tiny parking spots is very tricky, so be prepared!
The location was perfect, right on the water. The beach was very easy to access and had many SUPs and canoes to use. Also a great spot for swimming and walking across the lagoon. The apartment was cleaned every day, which was great. It also had every single cooking item you can imagine. A really perfect, relaxing spot and lovely accommodation and great for kids. We would definitely come again.
