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.).

GermanyThe rooms on stilts are unbelievable and the view on the atlantic from the balcony wonderful. The beds even had warming blankets - how perfect in winter. The room itself was pretty well insulated. Breakfast was nice.

GermanyThe location is very good and I like the unique style and design. We were a group of 4 staying in room 1 (no view) and room 6 (sea view). While in room 6 everything was okay, room 1 seemed to have some maintenance issues as the toilet was making weird noises, also the bathroom was quite claustrophobic. While the design is unique, other properties in this price range have a bit more of an attentive touch when it comes to the small things like proper amenities (soap, shampoo, shower gel and body lotion should be standard). Otherwise all good.

United StatesIt would have been better to stay longer!
We enjoyed every minute. Excellent staff! Big roomy accommodations, good comfortable beds with great linens. Comfy couch and nice coffee station and mini bar. See the birds and even camels as you walk to breakfast. Excellent breakfast. Walking distance to beach and several eateries. Easy walk to downtown shops.

United Kingdomour room was the closest to the road so it was quite noisy at times. There seemed to be some sort of car/bike meeting in the local neighbourhood so lots of revving engines which was a pain. If you do stay try and get a room nearer the water as these are farthest from the road and probably have a better view too. Maybe they only give the rooms nearer the road to Booking.com clients!
Nice room with great facilities. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

United StatesView from balcony close to ocean and Swakop River. The guest house was on stilts, over the dunes. The cottage itself was very comfortable with little fridge in room, bug spray which was useful as it was the rainy season. The staff was EXCELLENT and VERY HELPFUL, pleasant and COURTEOUS……Elsie, Silas, Johnny were some of the names I recall but there were others! Breakfast was served in an adjacent cottage… a variety of eggs cooked to order, fruit, yoghurt, cereals, breakfast meats and delicious coffee . The office was willing to keep our luggage on site and we left our rental car in the parking lot adjacent to the office while we took a 2 day, 1 overnight desert tour.

RomaniaWe loved our cabin at Stiltz - it was roomy, built with natural materials, very nicely decorated and super comfy. The walkways of the lodge gave great views over the ocean and we saw various birds and even camels. The staff was super friendly and kind, the shower was great and the beds were really comfortable. Definitely recommend!

The main attraction is the facility itself. Rooms lovingly and professionally hand crafted of wood. A real pleasure. The stilts concept is also really nice.
