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 AfricaIt would be great if departure time could be extended from 9:00 to 10:30 to allow for an unrushed beach walk and breakfast before leaving.
It is an excellent location, and the host communicated via WhatsApp, which was helpful while travelling. The apartment was clean, neat, comfortable and secure.

South AfricaA fantastic unit that caters for everything, a home away from home. We loved the sea view, such glorious sunrises. Great place for a family, beach within walking distance and there was a sparkling blue pool. We had a fabulous holiday and will certainly book a return trip. Thank you Sandy.

South AfricaIt may be useful for the apartment owners to consider investing in double glazed windows and sliding doors, to 'sound proof' the apartment from the tidal wave noises which are amplified during the night and tend to disturb a healthy sleeping cycle needed for relaxation.
Beautiful apartment overlooking the Indian Ocean. The apartment is neat and has all the needed home accessories. The complex also feels safe, clean and makes for great beach adventure for some of us that get to visit the coast once in a while

South AfricaNothing to do with this specific apartment however I had to go down to the car gate to get my food deliveries, in most places the security lets delivery drivers in to deliver to your door. Maybe the complex needs to establish a system for this.
It was clean, had an amazing view of the beach and in a safe area. I even extended my stay.

South AfricaThe building has a generator that keeps lights on around the complex during load shedding but the elevators don't work which could leave a disabled person stranded for a some time, make sure you check the load shedding schedule for the day and it won't affect you. bring a few extra battery lamps and power banks for load shedding. a small gas stove for the unit would be nice too so we could make coffee during load shedding.
great view of the ocean and beach, 2 swimming beaches within 300m away, plenty of restaurants around, a checkers and a spar near by. braai facilities, a swimming pool, great fishing spots near by. security is excellent, felt very safe. All staff were very friendly and accommodating. The unit has 2 bathrooms with showers that my semi disabled parents could easily get in and out of. There is a board walk along the beaches that my Mom could walk on which is level, the ramp from the pedestrian gate to the board walk is a little bit steep but manageable (about 4.5m long with a 1m incline). The balcony has a roof so we could sit outside and watch he ocean all day whether it rained or it was very sunny. The unit has an inverter that lasted the full 4 hours of loadshedding we had. The inverter only powers the tv and wifi but there are rechargeable battery lamps provided. We were extremely happy :)

South AfricaAlthough it is self-catering, it would be nice to have a few sachet of coffee, sugar, milk or water in the fridge on arrival. (Atleast for one cup per person) The UPS is very old, after power failure it only lasted for about 15 minutes. new inverter is going to cost you about 10k, but will be able to power the TV for atleast 5 hours. The old inverters also takes more electricity to charge - and they dont last long. It is also costing you more in the long run. Newly painted walls, but the place did smell odd though as the walls were freshly painted. (Beautiful ;) Overall, I will stay there again. The view is just gorgeous. I will recommend this place.
Perfect Location. Beautiful view. Clean apartment.

South AfricaThe property spoiled us with luxury and provided a 4 star hotel experience. The apartment is furnished with high quality equipment and furniture which creates a sense of comfort, tranquility, and relaxation. The linen and the apartment were fresh, tidy, clean, and crisp. The Kitchen: The kitchen is equipped with all the equipment a chef could ask for. The hand blender was a real treat as we could make lovely pancakes on the rainy days. We enjoyed using the sandwich machine to make some classic cheese toasties. We enjoyed cooking with ease having various kitchen tools to our disposal. Being provided was dish soap, cleaning cloths, and drying cloths was thoughtful, practical, and useful. The Bathrooms: Wow! The water pressure was fantastic! The showers are equipped with shower gel, liquid hand soap, and toilet paper, which was amazing. Thank you for the thoughtfulness of providing these small items that add to comfort. Towels are clean, sufficient sizes and there are more than enough for every person. Luxury spoils: The apartment is equipped with a very big and lovely beach bag, variety of beach toys, smart tv (we logged into our disney+ account and had wonderful movie nights) and good wifi. The host and staff Walking into the apartment, we received a warm welcome from the friendly and kind cleaner. The host, Sandy, is very welcoming, resourceful, and helpful. She responds quickly to inquiries and provided us with information such as the loadshedding schedule before we could have even thought of asking. Her attention to detail to provide a comfortable stay is highly appreciated. The Beach: The wooden walkway stretched along the beach was a beautiful path for the daily jogs or evening walks. The beach is safe and clean. The pool in the compound was clean and great. The property has an outdoor tap and shower for rising the sand before entering the apartments. This was lovely as the apartment remained free from unwanted sand.
