How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

My husband mentioned to me that the portable heater unit for the bedroom made some noise which he was sensitive to, so he switched it off but the room temperature was still comfortable, we used the heating blankets and the bed was comfortable and warm enough to sleep in.
It was a very short stay for us but we've enjoyed it. No cooking facilities, coffee machine is easy to use with capsule, it is a room with en suite bathroom that is part of the host's house. The room was comfortable, heating was adequate. Room environment very quiet at night and comfortable to sleep. Bathroom is wonderful and tastefully designed.

Suggest you put a doormat inside the door to save the carpet on wet days. Also put some kind of durable cover on the sideboard to save its surface. These are just suggestions for your sake - we really lived our stay there.
Great location and super clean and comfortable and quiet. Very tastefully furnished.

There was no TV in the room, that didn't bother us as we were out most of the time, might be a problem if the weather isn't good. Ensure you have a good book with you.
Lovely comfortable room with everything you need for a few nights stay. Fabulous shower! Comfortable bed. In a good location for local amenities- shops, cafes and restaurants, close to a bus stop and a short walk to the beach. Would stay again and would recommend.

(Everything was perfect.) We had a fridge but were also kindly provided with a microwave so we had a hot meal, too.
The room is a sanctuary is a beautiful neighbourhood, along even more beautiful beach. Everything is clean, bright and super-comfortable. First cup of tea of the day taken on the sunny deck is pure bliss.

We are dog people, love our dog. But the two little dogs bark all the time especially when left at home alone. So just be prepared especially if you aren’t dog people. There also isn’t a tv. Which is no big deal for a night but multiple nights would have been nice!
We stayed 3 nights. The location of the suite is very nice. It was very safe and easy parking. Restaurants and beach all a 5 min walk away. Bus stop at end of the road perfect to take to the city. The bed was so comfy and given plenty of types of heat- radiator & heated blanket! The shower was nice and linen lovely. Coffee and wifi provided.

Bit tricky using the security locks on gate and getting suitcases through but OK. Maybe trim the bush by the gate.
Cosy but adequate for a one-night stop which was exactly what we wanted. Ideally located for us to go to The Esplanade in St Clair.

As they were not giving us breakfast, they should have told us, so we could have brought some food. There was a toaster but we had no bread to toast. There was only one chair for 2 people. So one had to sit on the bed. It was expensive for the little we got.
There was no breakfast supplied.
