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...).

South AfricaThe fact that there was no breakfast but I believe it was stopped during the Covid period but hopefully it will be served again in future... Limited access to Wifi. Difficult parking space when the property is fully occupied Small bathroom, hardly space to move around. Not sufficient air-conditioning.
Location is ideal. Not far from the beach and City Centre.

South AfricaThe kettle had to be placed on the floor for use because the cord was too short to reach the plug. (see photo) Sliding shower/toilet door was off the rails when we arrived and therefore would not close. Room was right next to the kitchen and, as a result, every noise emanating from activity in the kitchen could be heard in the room. This is most disturbing whe071 164 3162n the noise occurs at 5am. The size of the room left a lot to be desired. It was approximately 3m x 3m. The door handle was stiff and difficult to open. I would recommend the room be reviewed and only rented to guests as a last resort.
Staff were friendly. The room was clean. Parking area was adequate. The speed of the WiFi was excellent.

ItalyThere is a 10pm curfew - by this, I mean that you do not have to be back in the room by 10pm but of course, with other people staying is such close proximity (the rooms are tightly packed here,) you need to be respectful and quiet by 10pm. We didn't have an issue with this - There is a communal kitchen that you can use BUT you can only use the kitchen until about 8pm. Apparently there is an issue with sound in the kitchen reverberating through the house. There are no signs for this and if we had run late on one day, we would have been in the kitchen long after 8pm and I think this would have caused problems for us and the owner. I think a small sign for this would help. We also had issues with the plugs in the room, there aren't enough situated with enough points for all the room equipment (fridge, aircon, bed lights etc,) and everything we brought with us like cell phones etc. We also noted that the fridge hadn't been plugged in prior to our arrival so even though its self catering, you will initially need to see if you can store your fresh goods in the main communal kitchen before transferring them to the small room fridge. I will assume now that the small bar room fridge is mainly for drinks but we had too much food for 5 days and 3 people that we needed it for this. Finally, I stay at a lot of places but this place does not offer breakfast or the like and this is what got me in terms of its pricing: I've realised that they charge just as much as places that include breakfast. They are 100% honest about this upfront and it was my fault for not recognising there wasn't a price difference, however, next time I may choose a cheaper place without the breakfast or the same price for a place that does.
I initially spoke to Jo (one of the owners I think,) and she was wonderful - we ended up pool side in one of the Flintstones buildings which was the real bonus staying on the property. We also dealt with Pat who was the building manager and she was fantastic! She assisted with all questions and information for the area and also with daily things. Heini, the owner, also made the stay good as he checked in on us and explained a few things at the venue.
