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.).

GermanyWhile the staff was friendly, the service was slow and not always very committed. The owners are not around and we only saw the service staff at breakfast. Overall the accommodation is very beautiful, but the service does not live up to the price of the stay.
The property is beautifully maintained. The garden is very nice and the rooms are clean if not the largest. You can get beach towels and the property has a sun umbrella and beach chairs which you can borrow for free for use on the beach. The breakfast offers a very tasty sourdough bread, fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurt and the usual egg based breakfasts. The neighbours cat also came by every evening to get her fair share of stroking and cuddling. :-)

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything about the property we didn’t like. The staff were nice when they were there. We only really saw them in the morning for breakfast. It would have been nice to have them around for a couple of hours later on in the day to answer questions sort out transport etc.
Well maintained property with really nice communal area. The interior of the room we had was really nice and it felt very homely because of all the nice ornaments and decoration. The room was spotlessly clean, the bed was really comfortable and it had everything we needed. The breakfasts here were really good and set you up perfectly for the day ahead. Communication with Chereen was excellent throughout. Freebee the cat is such a character and we enjoyed playing with her everyday and we made sure she got a bowl of milk each time she visited! We had a feeling she probably ‘plays’ each room this way. She’s a cat with sass!

Wonderful service and hospitality from the staff - very welcoming and had a welcome bottle of wine and strawberries as had told them it was our honeymoon. The whole vibe of the guesthouse was lovely and comfortable. Rooms large and comfortable beds, decor nautical and modern. Helped us arrange any day activities - short drive from Roberg Nature Reserve. Breakfast was great and lovely outdoor setting.

GermanyThe waiting time for our second coffee was long 😉. In the night there was a bird „singing“ loud for hours and hours right in the tree close to our room. But that’s Africa, I guess.
Breakfast was cooked fresh every morning and served in a nicely manner. The premises were great and perfectly decorated. Very nice atmosphere.

South AfricaI stayed in the New Story Suite and the bed is in need of a new mattress. It's a bit worn out on the sleeping sides so there's a ridge in the middle. Also, I didn't see a cat anywhere but I would recommend anyone wanting to stay there who's allergic to cats should take extra strong antihistamines with them. I fell asleep twice with the brown blanket on me that was on the bed and both times I woke up with the typical cat allergy reaction. It was only after the second time that I realised a cat must be getting into the room while I was out and sleeping on that blanket.
Evans was just amazing, he's proactive and thoughtful. The breakfasts were truly fantastic. They really have thought of everything to make your stay at Long Story memorable. Everything is exactly as advertised on the site, it's a beautiful spot.

United KingdomWould like some food on site apart from breakfast but understand this is not what you do.
This place is small and homey. Really lovely room (middle suite) , excellent quality furnishings and felt a little luxurious along with super comfy. Only 5 rooms so always felt you could get staff attention if needed. Evans and his colleagues were super helpful and accommodating. Would have loved to have stayed longer and chilled out more but alas no time!
