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 Africareally enjoyed our stay at the beach villa. Thandi made us feel more than welcome. The breakfast was great and the location superb nothing is relaxing as waking up to the sound of the sea and the fresh breeze. The owner is so hands on even though it is remotely we felt his presence. I really recommend it :-)

South AfricaNow I've been at quite a few places, where the treatment at most of the places were excellent and at some not so decent. This host though, is amazing. He has a warm heart. He connects with his guests as if he knows them long before the stay. The staff were just as warm hearted! The room, facilities and view were breath taking! Thanks again for a wonderful stay, to many more to come!

South AfricaChairs in the restaurant very uncomfortable and low...cushions would have been nice.
Breakfast was fine. The security gate off our room onto the veranda was impossible to lock/unlock. There was a rather unkempt woman hanging around (the owner?) smoking rather lowering the tone of the establishment.

South AfricaParking was big issue. Very cramped - should direct people exactly how to park on arrival to prevent problems later on. Bathroom had a window which could be opened but the room only had 2 small windows (fixed, cannot be opened) and an aluminium sliding door onto the patio. For security reasons one cannot sleep with the sliding door open resulting in the room being hot and stuffy even this time of the year - in December to February it will be terrible. Modify the 2 windows so that they can open or install a trellidor inside of the sliding door to allow air circulation in the bedroom. Although a fridge was provided it was empty - at the price of this accommodation they could at least provide 2 bottles of mineral water. A tea/coffee station was provided in our room but only 2 black tea bags supplied.

South AfricaA few pointers: the view so wonderful, but the bedroom that i stayed in is configured badly - the bed faces a wall - you could be anywhere - the bed should face the magnificent sea. The room felt a bit musty, stale smelling and didnt feel fresh. There were no channels to watch on TV - only a very select few. There should be Netflix and other on demand channels, also there should be access to snacks (chips, chocolates) and drinks to purchase on premise. Also the outside furniture is not the comfiest - hard to relax on our balcony for long periods.
The location was absolutely amazing! best location I have ever stayed at and I will travel quite extensively. Thandi was fantastic and the breakfast was lovely.

South AfricaThe pictures definitely need to be updated! Doesn’t really reflect the current state, for example the enclosed pool etc. We were without lights, extractor fan and room fan for the entire stay, it kept tripping.
We loved the location and views. Beside this, what stood out most were the staff, which is one of the Villas greatest assets, from start to finish. Well done Thandi and team!

We liked the breakfast and the view was perfect. And we liked the walks on the beach and the shops was in walking distance. And the bed was very comfortable. We also liked the pool although it was a rainy weather.
