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...).

I visited Kennedy's beach villa recently and was very impressed with this home away from home... Amazing views, warm welcome, close to beach and restaurant, tranquilly peaceful, very spacious and hot tub. The villa is extremely comfortable, a true getaway work some interesting history and amazing people. I will book regularly in future at this amazing gem I discovered. Thank you Kennedys Beach Villa!!!

United KingdomKennedys is a hidden gem with the most peaceful surroundings on the Onrus River, with the ocean a very short walk away. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so at home and like long lost friends. Mrs Kennedy is the loveliest lady and she takes such pride in her beautiful place and wants you to be at home and to enjoy. James is the sweetest man, attentive to your needs and with the biggest smile on his face - my daughter thought he was just the best when he brought her a fluffy pink hot water bottle! The villa is large and open plan and has old world styling but feels so calm and peaceful. You overlook the river and the sea and you can take a walk down to the riverbank and enjoy a meal watching the ocean waves. We slept beautifully and it was very quiet. We will definitely be back, not letting this little treasure be a one-and-done visit!

South AfricaThe meticulously selected antiques added to the charm and the fireplace is simply incredible!! A lovely stroll through your own private little forest to reveal a secluded private lawn RIGHT on the river where we enjoyed a glass of bubbles, watched the waves and the birds and enjoyed a quiet moment together.

United Arab EmiratesThe room was big enough but there was only one large bed and other two bed mattresses were laid for us. I think even though the room is big it is not equipped to fit 4 persons. It is good for a couple. In the kitchen I felt utensils could be more cleaner and instead of loose sugar in the jar they should provide packs of sugar as it gets infested by ants. Also, there were no curtains in the room… it was cold so we thought curtains would have helped the room to be warm.
The location was amazing. The backyard leads you to the beach. The host couple were wonderful and James was exceptionally good care taker. He made us feel comfortable by lighting the fire and helping us with our luggages.We got the largest room because we were family of 4. It had old world charm feel with antiques everywhere. There was bed warmer as well for the large bed. Good thing was that whole place was for yourself with complete privacy.

South AfricaThe Kohl Kohl was not working.
I needed a port in a storm and Kennedy’s provided the haven I was searching for. It is, peace for the body, tranquility for the mind and serenity for the soul. The Villa is a grand old dame, antiques with interesting stories, quaint furnishings and the bed is so comfortable. The fireplace warmed me on several evenings. After a small mix up with the booking, which Mrs Kennedy so generously and timeously rectified, I am glad to say the lady is as grand as the magnificent villa is, Thank you! oh if not for James who just seemed to know when to appear. What warm and wonderful man. He goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfection and you are smiling. My gratitude is huge. 🙏💫🌸

I loved that the electric blankets was on and ready for me to get into bed and relax. Especially, seeing that it was winter. Great attention to detail.
