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 are 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 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.).

South AfricaThe property is an older building, but once inside, it is modern with fabulous finishings. It has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The location is right on the beach with excellent access and very good security. You are within walking distance to very good eateries Some snags, but all in all, wonderful. Our family of four adults and one child enjoyed it tremendously. We will be back.

South AfricaNothing, to write home but a little loop was the cadac that was empty when one needed to use it to braai on a rainy afternoon.
The location is fantastic. The rooms were spacious, and it felt like home away from home. It had everything and more. The inverter took it all, nothing is a turn-off like the load shedding whilst on vacation, but we never had an issue. We were stone throw away from the beach and the shops. Beautiful place.

The location and direct beach access is incredible! The inverter was an absolute blessing as there was load shedding twice a day. Our host , Charlotte made us fell welcome met us on arrival. She also ensured she was available for anything should it be required. We would highly recommend !

South AfricaIt cannot be faulted, everything was as hoped for.
The most important part of the vacation was finding an almost perfect apartment for my grandmother who uses a walking stick & my aunt who's disabled, so the apartment had to be on the ground floor with exceptional views close to the sea because our last vacation to Ballito (a different location) wasn't as enjoyable because the apartment was at the far back of the compound, the stairs leading to the gate at the beachfront were a mission to navigate for my disabled aunt & on the days where she'd want to sit and eat outside she was disappointed that she could barely see the beach at all even though it was a beachfront establishment. Therefore 3 Driftwood was more than 'almost perfect' it brought everyone joy & comfort...the apartment is literally by the beachfront with nothing between you & the beach, the patio was large enough to accommodate all five family members making it perfect for our braai on Saturday evening. The inside was just as perfect, it's bright, spacious & the furniture is beautiful.

South AfricaThe property felt like a home away from home for the girls. Everything was clean and a clear indication that effort was put in preparation for our arrival was evident. Unfortunately I couldn’t travel with them but I heard and saw only good things about their stay. Yolandè, the host, is truly one of a kind. Very considerate and went the extra mile for the girls and I. She prepared snacks for them for the road. Definately a 5* stay and service for a fraction of the price. We will definately be back and we would recommend this property to anyone🌺
