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.).

South AfricaThe location was not the best, but seemed quiet enough. My mattress was as hard as a rock, and very uncomfortable.
Lovely view, food was great. Loved that everything was on sight, restaurant, bar, etc

AustraliaWe had an incident at the property but the staff were very good and the problem was resolved. Hence, why we are still giving them a 7 and would recommend to other people to stay there.

CanadaI was there for 2 nights. First night I didn't sleep because the owner's son and his girlfriend came in late to party....she got very drunk and was screaming until 4h a.m. Running in the hallway we're all guests were trying to sleep, and laughing, screaming & talking loud near the pool table and bar area. The door was open between so we heard her/them all night. Terrible when no one is there to tell them to quiet down. She/ they are not guests so they should of keep it down or get out of there. Hard for us to get up early to go surfing and enjoy our day when we haven't slept. The second night was perfect & quiet. Everyone was quiet !!!!
The location, sunrise, kitchen and the view was great !!!

South AfricaThere was a mix up with part of booking, where a ladies worship group thought they had the whole of one accomodation building to themselves, but did not and procedeeded with loud rituals at inappropriate times of the early hours of the morning, but at least it was only one night, and we were adequately compensated, for the disturbance.
Staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful

South AfricaIts the 2nd time we have stayed there and both times the bedside lights didn't work, this time no plugs worked at all in our room so couldn't charge anything 🙃 but gave us more quality time i guess. The bed in our room was extremely hard.
The view is breathtaking, however if you have a bottom floor room the bush is in the way of the view. Otherwise its perfect 👌
