Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

South AfricaWe had to leave! There is nothing we did not like.
If you have stayed in a number of privately owned accommodation you are always a bit apprehensive when arriving at the property. Rest assured when booking at Kalliste all you expectations are going to be exceeded. Therese left fresh bread in the kitchen (and during the week). She bought us dinner on the first night because we would only arrive late, the list goes on. The location could not be better, with great views of the sea. The room and bathroom were lovely clean and very tastefully decorated. Everything one could need, is in the kitchen with coffee pods provided. The flat is private and there is a private entrance. If you plan to be in the Betty's bay area, you must stay here. If it is not available; change your dates!

South AfricaNothing to note.
The view of the ocean was beautiful. The location was ideal and a short drive to Hermanus. The cottage was very spacious and well kitted out with lots of little touches to make you feel very welcome. Ideal for a stay to just relax but also close enough to do many activities in the surrounding areas. Garth and Therese sent tons of suggestions which were all very helpful.

What a wonderful place to stay. Spectacular views of the sea and mountains. Very clean and furnished with attention to detail. Plenty of space and a comfortable bed with comfy bedding. Lovely welcome gifts. Privacy and very quiet location. Only the sound of the sea can be heard. Very lovely, funny dogs. Great hosts. The communication before and during the vacation is excellent and the super recommendations every day can't be topped.

A luxurious, elegant and spacious stay! We were spoilt with fine touches....sherry on arrival, freshly baked bread and complimentary wine. A stunning view of the waves breaking on the rocks to the front and magestic mountains to the back, a beautiful garden with meandering pathways leading to viewpoints on the shoreline. The finest of bedding and furnishings! Solar power and extremely friendly hosts, who gave lots of advice on local places to visit. This stay was a treat, and we will definitely be back!

United KingdomWhat a beautiful place Kalliste is. The location and views right on the beach are stunning and the accommodation is exquisite, all finishings are beautiful and the small touches such as a welcome note, coffee pods, wine and milk in the fridge were very appreciated. The whole experience was made by the hosts Therese and Garth (and the doggies) who were excellent at communicating prior to arrival, welcomed us warmly and kept us informed of what to do and where to eat throughout our stay. This is ideal if you are looking to relax after a few days on the road or a busy time in the city. I hope to visit again in the future!
