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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United KingdomNothing- it was a lovely visit
The hosts were amazing. Adrienne provided lots of local information and was so helpful. Berni also provided some additional input. The location is excellent with the beach so close and a couple of local restaurants within a 10 minute walk. Breakfast was served with a smile and the offering was plentiful with fresh fruit salad, pancakes and a cooked breakfast with home made breads. Our hosts took an interest in our daily activities and provided helpful input where necessary. There was an outside pool which we couldn't try due to the weather.

United KingdomThat we didn't stay longer
Best stay during our trip to Cape Town and garden route (and we stayed in 7 different guest houses). The host are super friendly and they pay lot of attention to detail with decoration and small, but useful details in the room. Superb breakfast which includes continental and traditional english, very clean rooms and facilities. Nice and safe location with walking distance to restaurants and market. Beach is just 3 min from the lodge.

Adrienne and Bernie are wonderful hosts who couldn’t do enough for us. Excellent location close to Robberg beach and Nature Reserve. Beach chairs, parasols, body boards etc are all readily available along with beach bag and towels. They have thought of everything to make your holiday special. Delicious breakfasts with excellent choice and so kind catering for my husband who has coeliac with delicious pancakes and muffins. Lovely pool to relax in and cool down. When locked out of our car they went out of there way to assist , giving up their valuable time. Extremely helpful and informative about the area with maps and books all available. It is exceptional and we definitely hope to return one day.

GermanyIf we really had to criticize something, it would be the hand shower, which in our opinion is not optimally placed.
We received a warm welcome, so we felt welcome immediately. Finch Cottage is very well appointed with lovely biscuits and a sherry as a house gift. Very good breakfast that leaves nothing to be desired. Bernie shared his knowledge of birds with us and both of them gave us good tips for excursions. I informed Adrienne that it was my wife's birthday during our stay. She organized a birthday cake, which the staff serenaded over. In addition, Adrienne professionally removed a tick from my wife's leg. When saying goodbye, there were tips for the onward journey. Adrienne and Bernie were the best hosts during our four week trip. Should we come back to Plettenberg Bay, Bayside Lodge will be our first choice.
