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 AfricaOnly that we were unable to extend our stay because so many other people obviously know about this place (jokes!)...nothing to complain about.
The views outside our suite must be unparalleled. We had bright sunny, if somewhat chilly, weather that emphasized the jaw-dropping beauty of the waves coming into Lookout Beach. It really is glorious. The staff were very quick to help us deal with our trailer (this was a break during our camping trip) and were always friendly, helpful and informative. After a bracing swim and body-surfing at Lookout, we spent a delicious half-hour warming up in their heated pool across the road continuing to drink in the lovely sea views. The restaurant serves delicious meals in the evening, one of which we shared with old friends who happened to be visiting Plett at the same time. The breakfasts were superb, with lots of variety to suit anyone's taste and allowing us as ever to enjoy the blue skies and seas, even from an inside table. The beds were sumptuous and the room was tastefully tastefully decorated. This really is a high class establishment that has attracted a strong interest from international visitors. It certainly deserves every bit of the high reputation it has built up and made the most of its almost unique position.

United KingdomThe pools were small and not enough room for sun beds. The space in between was limited hence felt a bit cramped.
The breakfast choice was excellent, the restaurant was excellent for dinner as was the complementary mini bar. The views were breathtaking, and the staff were attentive and cheerful. The general decor was beautiful. Great security.

Located within easy walking distance of Main Street & the Whale viewpoint.The view from the hotel is magnificent. It is worth every penny to book a Seaview room. Our room was very comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at the hotel on our first night. All the staff and management were friendly and very welcoming. Car parking is directly outside the hotel.

United KingdomNothing to dislike
The views are absolutely stunning, and the rooms were so comfortable. What made our stay next level amazing was the team that works there, who when they knew I was pregnant and my partner was injured went out of their way to make us feel as cared for as possible. I’ve never been so well looked after, we can’t wait to come back and see everyone again!

United KingdomThe balcony was too small to sit on. i think all the balconies are much the same.
Lovely room and common areas are full of quality. Felt really relaxed and safe whilst in the property. Our room overlooked the ocean vista and crashing waves. The patio area for breakfast and evening meal also have a ocean view and on one day we could view dolphins in the nearby waters.All staff were so pleasant and accommodating. A glass of sparking wine at breakfast was a nice touch.

United KingdomThe pool area didn't have enough space. The Smoking area by the pool was too close to the breakfast/terrace area - smoke came over. The Smokers in that area blocked an important part of the beautiful view. We had 8 bikes with 10+ bikers who dressed very poorly for what is supposed to be a 5 Star Hotel
The setting was glorious. The inside of the Hotel had beautiful furniture.

United KingdomThe only thing we would have loved would to have had sitting areas outside in the evening specifically for drinks. There is a lovely bar inside the hotel and lounge area, but the seating area outside in the evening is for dining. There is an infinity pool and sun loungers which have beautiful views, but means reduced access areas in the evening. Would be great if the sun loungers could be removed and replaced with tables/chairs for drinking in the evening.
This is the most beautifully decorated hotel we've ever stayed in …. a real boutique feel. The staff from the greeting at check in and throughout our stay were so friendly and lovely. We had a top floor room with front and side views of the ocean and beach (room 36) …. just wow. On arrival we had in the room a beautifully handwritten card and treats to celebrate our wedding anniversary which was a special touch. The hotel is in a great location in walking distance to the town with shops and restaurants, plus directly on the coastal path. We stayed 5 nights and used it as a central base to visit west to Knysna and east to Tsitsikamma rather than keep changing hotels and it was a delight to return to each day. Breakfast and dinner was great, especially sitting outside looking at the ocean.
