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...).

United States of AmericaWell, we didn't know how to get in at first, it's a gated area. So they could have let us know what to do ahead of time. But there was a call button there that we found.
The location was good, near the coast. The room was comfy. The woman at the desk was helpful, answering our questions and booking a tour for us.

FinlandThe staff at Olaf's is very friendly and helpful. The guest house is quite small, as far as I understood, so it felt very cosy to stay there. The location is amazing - close to the ocean and a few steps up along the street bring the view of the mountain range. There are some good cafés and restaurants nearby, and a hop-on-hop-off bus stop is also near. A good low-key quest house.

We really appreciated being able to check in shortly after noon on our day of arrival and also to stay in the lounge until 2.30 pm while waiting for our shuttle to the airport on the day of our departure. Hazel was very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit salad, granola and yogurt as well as a variety of breads and eggs made to order. Location is very quiet in residential neighborhood in Green Point, close to ocean promenade and Green Point park as well as in walking distance to Main Road with lots of eateries, bars etc.

Czech RepublicJust suggest to be careful of all your belongings and use a safe (or have precious things with you) in case you have some jewelery or higher amount of money.
Great, quiet location, very close to the sea promenade, close to Hop on/off bus station. 7 minutes by Uber to Waterfront, also achievable by foot taking a nice walk along the ocean. As for accomodation, nicely equipped, nice living room with space to have breakfast or just to sit and have a drink. Very pleasant atmosphere. We enjoyed Cape Town and the stay at Olaf's a lot.
