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.).

PolandWe had a wonderful stay at the house. The house is big enough, nicely decorated, VERY comfortable and 2 min walk to the seaside. Has everything you need. The house owner Wessel was very nice, responsive and helpful. He helped us with everything we asked him for. Swakopmund is a very nice place to visit, with planty posibbilities for active vacation. Highly recomended.

AustriaVery spacious accommodation in a nice residential area within easy reach of the town centre (about a 15 min walk along the beach boardwalk). Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, everything provided that we needed. The host Wessel was very helpful. We loved our stay here and would love to stay again if we ever come back to Swakopmund. Highly recommended!

AustraliaTwo main upstairs bedrooms look straight into a guest house across the road, but not too problematic as the curtains worked well to block out the view.
Friendly host and perfect house for four couples with enough room for everybody. We only made breakfast at the house, but the cooking facilities were good and we could have stayed here a few more days.

NamibiaThere is nothing that we did not like. More extra plugs for cell phones, etc can be useful.
A lovely, clean, well cared for and comfortable house with everything we needed. Four big rooms, each with its own bathroom. A lovely big balcony with a bit of a view of the sea one street away. Enclosed braai area for when the weather is bad. Parking is available in the erf. The host, Wessel, was available, friendly, efficient and helpful.

GermanyA wonderful, spacious house with four separate sleeping rooms, each of them having its own bathroom. On second floor, there's a great terrace equipped with armchairs. On first floor, we found a nice lounge with couch and armchairs to relax. Next room, there is a big table with enough space for 10 people. And, in addition, you can enjoy your meals in a bright breakfast room which includes a chimney for the cooler days in Swakopmund. The host and the colleague who gave us the keys are very kind people. In my mind, Richthofen19 is a great choice. Absolutely recommendable!
