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 AfricaBy changing the blend of the roasted coffee beans the taste of the brewed coffee served in the restaurant can be improved.
Our apartment had a great view of the ocean and we watched the movements of the various ships dropping and weighing anchor. We also watched the various activities in the pool areas. From our apartment it was easy to walk to the Umhlanga 2.5 km path along the beach.

United KingdomBreakers used to be fantastic but since the passing of the previous general manager & Vacation Resorts & Booking.com, the resort has become,”Tired”. At weekends it can also get extremely busy as they allow non residents in to use the facilities & the noise & disruptions are not good.

South AfricaDidn't have a dish cloth to wash out dishes in the room which seemed counterintuitive when you had soap. Unfortunately we were there during the anc conference so Saturday late night partying on the balcony kept us up. Not having enough back up lighting or inverter for TVs during load shedding is not a great experience. Just one light in the lounge is not sufficient.
First time returning in maybe a decade and the up keep has been great. Facilities,etc are a perfect for a self catering stay.

United KingdomNot a problem but would need to drive or get a taxi into town center in the evenings. Hotel bar closes a bit too early @ 17.30 Were given the option of a smoking room on booking but on arrival we were told it was a non-smoking hotel and had to go outside to a smoking location. Would receive a fine if we smoked on the balcony.
The rooms were comfortable and well equipped. Facilities are great with loads of things to do to keep you busy. It is a good walk to the lighthouse and centre of Umhlanga but not strenuous along the promenade and eateries avaliablein other hotels along the prom for refreshments. Lovely little cafe along the boardwalk when turning left out the beach entrance.
