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.).

IrelandWe had a lovely stay in Glow Boutique Suites and Guesthouse. We loved the clean, spacious rooms, our warm greeting on check in and every day we were there, and the delicious breakfast. Would definitely recommend staying here if you have a car.

Everything was great. Friendly staff and owners. Rooms and bathroom is a decent size. Sea view from the room was good. Very good breakfast. Safe parking. Location of the guesthouse is perfect if you want to be close to the buzz but not want to live in the hub.

Would definitely recommend it to anyone staying close to Hermanus with a car. Location means that you need a car to access local restaurants etc.

GermanyBeautifully situated in a quiet area, it’s just a short walk from the Coastal Walk, making it easy to enjoy a scenic stroll to Hermanus for a meal. The accommodation is tastefully and stylishly furnished, offering everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The pool area is well-maintained, with plenty of sun loungers to relax. Excellent WiFi, which was fast and reliable - perfect for those who need to stay connected (thanks again for beeing so helpful regarding our work issues!). Ron & Philip, along with their wonderful staff, were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast was another standout, with fresh fruit, a great selection of bread, delicious coffee varieties, and made-to-order egg dishes. The freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious & a great touch! If we had one small suggestion, it would be to perhaps add some parasols by the pool for a bit of extra shade, as it can get really, really hot - but this is by no means a complaint, just something that could make an already exeptional stay even better. We loved it so much that after spending one night elsewhere (as Glow was fully booked), we happily returned! We would come back anytime - highly recommended!
