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 AfricaParking is a problem, i had room two, a small double bed, a workshop that is unpracticale, and there are no plugs to use. When you sit on the couch, you can see tv. The shower is an extremely small space in a bath, and the toilet is that you lotterly have to sit in the center because it is squeezed in a corner. The security lght on the outsie of the room shine streight into the room. Wifi does not work in room 2, although the owners said they are going to fix it.

South AfricaLoved this place to bits, tranquil, and very refreshing.. the view is to die for, with the bonus of falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Friendly staff and the place is extremely clean. I enjoyed the beach walks and braai area the most! Definitely worth revisiting.. Great value for money

Germanythe welcoming familiar charme and atmosphere of the place. James is such a great host and super helpful (e.g. contacting organizations for tours, helping with bookings and much more). they really make you feel like a part of the family. Whenever I’m in Durban again I will 100% only stay here. The place itself is amazing, too. Clean, nicely located directly at the beach, beautiful pool, etc.

South AfricaI didn't enjoy the cigarette smoke wafting through my bedroom window or door every morning. Parking was an issue as there was a private function being held on day one, and when I left on day two I had been parked in and battled to leave. I also asked that my room not be serviced (for covid), and placed the sign on the door, and yet someone still went in and serviced.
The room is comfortable, air-conditioning works well and there is a tea/coffee station. Nice bathroom and plenty of fresh towels.

South AfricaI moved from my sea-facing room to one without a view to escape the shouting of the raucous neighbours. Apparently the cops were called and a few of them arrested at 1am.
The guesthouse is close to the beach. James was welcoming and hospitable.

South AfricaThe smell of smoking from the downstairs area drifts into the room. I have a strong aversion to smoke. My room (3) was perfectly fine but the ensuite bathroom is very dated. The one bathroom shown online is quite wow and somewhat misleading if this (or something vaguely similar) is what you are expecting in all the rooms.
The location is truly amazing with a short private path to the beach. The proprietor goes to great lengths to ensure your comfort and is very friendly.
