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 KingdomOur host was very helpful and welcoming She went above and beyond to help us packing some art work that we purchased.. Lots of helpful leaflets in the guesthouse on how to explore Hermanus. It’s a shame we only planned the morning for whale watching. The town and the whole area has much more to offer..

South AfricaWe enjoyed our time at Walker Bay Manor Mansion, and the accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was tasty and a nice way to start the day. The location is very convenient (close to the cliff path and centre) and we also received useful advice from Marijke about things to do and restaurants to visit in Hermanus. Overall this was a very pleasant stay.

We enjoyed staying at Walker Bay Manor Mansion. The location was perfect for exploring Hermanus and having quick access to the cliff path. The pool and garden was wonderful and we spent most of our afternoons relaxing in that area. Breakfast was also amazing and the staff was top notch.

AustriaWe stayed in the smallest room, which faced the garden where the breakfast was served, so you could hear people staring 8am. It did not bother us as we were waking up anyway, but if you want to sleep in get a different room.
The host was great and gave us a lot of suggestions. Communication was easy. Breakfast was amazing. Location is great, right next to the shore and a beautiful cliff walk.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything we didn't like. As with most accommodation it'd be nice to have a few more hooks to hang things in the bedroom and bathroom.
The host was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. They gave us recommendations of where to eat in town. The location of the house was perfect.... couple of minutes walk to the coast where we spotted whales!! We stayed in a private room with en suite and there were lots of lovely little touches from water to electric blanket and an honesty bar if you fancied a drink. The breakfast was one of the best we had on our trip. Would highly recommend to stay here.
