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 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 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 AfricaIt felt like the host wanted to literally shove us out on day of checkout with niceness gone down the drain...as if she was addressing 6 year Olds and the time was 9:45 and we had already packed out stuff in the car

South AfricaPlace has a damp smell which can be a bit overwhelming especially if you're staying for a week, other than that I can't fault it or the hosts. Just for clarification, picture of the property is accurate , it's the white house but it is across the road from the docks.
Location, warm hospitality of the hosts , they responded immediately when we needed anything, the 3 bed cottage is very spacious and perfect for a family holiday, Kitchen is fully stocked for all your cooking needs, we had visitors who came to watch football world cup with us , Pat was kind enough to offer us additional crockery and cutlery to cater for all of them, and they didnt even complain about the noise. Thandie was amazing as she helped us to keep the place tidy. Pat and Des were great hosts.

South AfricaFacility in desperate need of renovation. Paint, new towels ext. 3 Rooms but only 2 bathrooms. If you stay in the 2 nd Bedroom at the top, you have to walk through the main bedroom to use the bathroom. 2 nd bedroom is very small, you can hardly move around the bed. The 2 other bedrooms where nice and spacious.
Very well located. Nice view.

South AfricaThe hostess(Pat) was extremely rude! From the day of arrival until our early departure. On the first morning, we didn't have hot water. Reported to her via a phone call whereas she's in the same property, (she couldn't come and see us as her guests as she claimed to be sick. Even though we saw her outside). The water issue was not sorted, she continued to be rude over the phone making it seem like we are stupids not knowing how to switch on the hot water. We then couldn't take her terrible attitude and decided to cut the stay short. We requested a refund of the remaining evening, even during that process we had to fight with her. She said she did the transfer however money has not yet reflected in my account. Pat is a really horrible host. I wouldn't recommend anyone to book there. Also, the property is not at the dockside as described when making the booking. It's hidden in the bushes.
The house was clean and big enough for 4 adults.
