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 AfricaUpon booking on booking.com viewing my room details it was not the same. I find that it was misleading and nothing that I actualy wanted. That was rather unsetling. It also stated jacuzzi but on arrival when I asked about the jacuzzi they didnt have one. It also stated aircon but we only had a normal ceiling fan hat harly did anything

South AfricaThe R1000 deposit must be made in hard cash on arrival, the property is generally of a poor standard for a family resort (the gravel road leading to the property was the red flag), the bathroom facilities are disgusting (no shower door, toilets not working). Beds are hard as a rock and the free breakfast was worse than what you could make at home (Koo beans and scrambled eggs), we refused to wake up for breakfast on the second day.

South AfricaThe property is not that clean. Some of the rooms beds mattresses are completely finished. Spa massage staff are perfect for the job, but the facilities could use an upgrade. Checking in procedures are not up to standard as we had to wait for about 5 to 10 minutes before being checked in, due to minor reasons.

South AfricaThe resort is not as clean as some of the pictures indicate, we were very disappointed with our stay. We paid for 3 standard rooms, all 3 rooms were completely different and not up to standard. The rooms were not cleaned adequately, there was dried brown dirt stuck behind the basins and a lot of construction work left incomplete. Some windows were cracked and unable to close, bathrooms were small and cramped around the lavatory area, shelfs were dusty, draws did not open and closer properly in all 3 rooms. I found many dead insects in my room leading to a very uncomfortable stay. The indoor “hot pool” was room temperature at the most and due to the humidity and poor upkeep of the pool the room walls were mossy. The other pools were okay and in better condition Lastly, the intercom at the gate needs to fixed ASAP. My family and I went out from the resort and returned back at around 6 pm – the main gate had been closed and we tried profusely to get a hold of reception. The intercom did not work nor did hooting 3 times – we were left idling as nobody opened the gate. I had to phone reception to get them to open, the person who answered could not understand me – it was a disaster. Overall, the resort is under construction but has been poorly designed leaving some rooms (like the ones my family are I stayed in) incomplete and in poor condition. This resort is definitely not an 8.2 and not worth it at all for the price.
Breakfast was the best thing about the place.
