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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United KingdomNothing, all great! A water dispenser in the kitchen would be a great addition to avoid having to carry water up the stairs from town if not with a car.
Lovely guest house with lots of attention to detail in its design of all areas and comfortable rooms. Lots of nice seating options outside and lovely garden. The room was very comfortable and felt like home. Lovely owners great internet and very relaxed and peaceful.

DenmarkSascha and Chris have created a lovely little oasis in Tofo. It feels more like visiting close friends or relatives as opposed to staying in a hotel. The room was clean and the bed among the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The shared showers and bathrooms are clean and tidy, and in the kitchen you will find everything you need to cook your own meals. There is also a fridge with beer, cider, and water that you can grab for a reasonable price. Every week they throw a BBQ, and it's the most joyful thing. Lastly, the location is just next door to a dive center that offers you discounts and the beach is just a few minutes walk away. There are also hammocks to unwind in after a day of diving, surfing or just playing on the beach :-)

South AfricaNothing! We felt very safe and secure there.
Beautiful property with great amenities and a comfortable private room. The location is perfect, only a short walk to the beach and the town. The communal kitchen was very clean, as was the rest of the property. Chris and Sasha were very friendly and helpful hosts, with lots of local knowledge to share and excellent kite surfing instruction/facilities.

United StatesThe bathroom stalls don’t actually properly lock so I did get barged in on one time even though I locked it! Small inconvenience but would be nice to fix We think a drying rack for dishes would be more sanitary and better than hand drying with the damp rags. This was the first hostel we’ve been in without dish drying racks
They’ve done a really nice job with this hostel. Cleanest hostel ever. Super nice owners.

GermanyEverything was amazing BUT.... nothing :)
A backpackers heaven, made from backpackers! Chris and Sasha established a jewel in Tofo. 2 minutes to the beach, 3 minutes to the village center where you get all the necessities you need. You get a discount at one of the dive centers when you stay there. The kitchen is probably the best in whole Africa. Everything is clean and there's so much heart in every little detail. You would miss the best time of your life if you're not staying there

The accomadation is beautiful and the atmosphere even more. You'll meet there really nice and interesting othere travelers and Sasha and Chris manage somehow to creat a surrounding that lets you want to stay way longer than you've planed. Highly recommended!

Polandall great:)
Very nice place run by a lovely couple from Holland, short walk to the main beach and town centre (but steep stairs and partially not lit at all after dark so a torch is useful;)), also not long and pleasant walk to Tofinho (actually the walking options on Tofo beaches are amazing), very nice garden with various seating options, fridge with inexpensive beer available on the spot, kitchen very well equipped for your own cooking. The owners also have surfing equipment and run kite lessons but we haven't used it - other guests seemed happy though. There's a nice atmosphere in the venue in general, the owners make everyone feel welcome and often interact with guests in shared areas. Loved our stay there.
