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 AfricaKombuis spasie is baie klein wat dit ongemaklik maak om kos voor te berei ens.
Baie oulike plek. Beddens was baie gemaklik. Goed geleë, kon strand toe stap en naby genoeg om te ry na toerisme bestemmings. Baie netjies en stylvol. Gemaklik met 'n wasmasjien en liggies wat reeds herlaai was en reg was vir beurtkrag. Vir die prys is dit regtig die geld werd. Sal dit aanbeveel.

South AfricaThe fridge didn’t work. We were unable to park our car in the garage. We experienced strong rainfall on the first evening which resulted in water leaking from the ceiling. We had to move to the other room as the noise from this was quite disturbing.
I liked the space which was available at the house.

South AfricaTo start with, it’s a cleaning fee. At the very end of the booking process (one step before pressing “pay”) for the first time you get the information that a “cleaning fee” of around 40 euros/dollars will be added to your payment. So, the price that you actually pay is 40 euros higher than advertised. In addition, since a damage deposit of 250 euros is obligatory, be prepared to have some spare funds if you want to get the keys for the accommodation which you have already paid for. The “damage deposit” should be paid via bank transfer “in advance and on time”. We asked the owner for her bank account but haven’t received anything before our trip started. It was agreed that we will pay a deposit in cash, upon arrival. Following the house rule of “no entry before deposit is paid” we had to count money virtually on the street – not usual, not safe, not pleasant… Finally, a local representative was surprised when we asked for a cash receipt! A few phone calls and unpleasant discussions with the owner (additional 15-20 minutes) resulted in some receipt. After spending around 45 minutes outside, and in full sun, we managed to get in. So, the start was far away from being good and friendly. It continued with the discovery that “beachfront” was not exactly beachfront but some 10-15 minutes away (if you know the way). Swimming pool was not within the property but “available” some 200 meters away. Free toiletries were promised in the property description but were nowhere to be seen. After enquiring with the owner, we were prompted to visit a local Spar shop. Internet connection was available, but unreliable and very slow. Don’t count on it for any serious work!
It’s a nice, comfortable and clean apartment. However, much more is needed if the owner wants to be a good host. One thing for sure, we will not come back again!

South AfricaWe took exception to bad attitude of the owner with respect to the required R5000 damage deposit. (I have never before been asked for a damage deposit) After paying the deposit by EFT - which did not show up in her account immediately (because it was not an instant pay transfer) Despite showing proof that it had already been taken from my account, we had to draw an additional R5000 cash and leave it with the manager otherwise we would not be given the keys to our room - which we had already paid for in full. So we effectively - we paid R10,000 breakage deposit for a 3 night stay! So be aware! If you are staying at Serendipity - you will NOT be given the keys to your room unless your deposit has CLEARED in her account. This really spoilt what was meant to be a nice relaxing weekend away. For this reason we will definitely not be back. Access to the upstairs room via the side gate is awkward because the yard door opens the wrong way. The external stairway is narrow, steep, and not covered. Difficult when it is raining and you need to get your luggage upstairs - we got very wet. The rooms were comfortable and clean and location is convenient.
