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 AfricaThere is nothing not to like about staying here. The unit is always well kept and clean.
The location is fantastic! The unit has everything you need to enjoy a stay in St Lucia and the access to the swimming pool is as is if you have the pool all to yourself.

New ZealandWater pressure was light, not too bad. Would have been good to keep toilet rolls in house, staff come in every morning but we ran out on the last morning. Maybe some tea, coffee and sugar sachets being kept in the cupboard would be nice 😊
Odette was lovely. Eating area and kitchen was great. Was what we needed and meet expectations.

South AfricaCleanliness was not good on arrival. But was taken care of after our complaint. My wife encountered some cockroaches. That we only saw the host once during the complaint was somehow disappointing. It's not a beachfront location as advertised. Rather 2.5 km by car.
St Lucia is lovely. Fantastic beaches. Monkeys everywhere. Also in town. Relaxed and secure atmosphere. Spar supermarket and almost everything else is in walking distance. The terrace right next to the pool allowed us to keep an eye on our children. And the outside kitchen was great. The beds are very comfortable. Aircon in two bedrooms.

South AfricaWould be nice to be able to lock the kitchen when you are out. Not just for the animals but for security.
Comfortable holiday home to share with family. Could imagine it would be loud in the summer being so close to the pool.

South AfricaThe name of the place is different from the sign on the road. Also unfortunately the only contact number was an international number, but with a quick email everthing was sorted. These were very small things and did not make the trip negative.
The place was very spacious, and it overlooked the pool. I like that the windows had insect proofing. The catering facilities were really good. Will definitely book there again

South AfricaContact on whatsapp had a rather rude undertone to messages - no friendly attitude. Old outdated furniture... The outdoor kitchen is a disaster. We were told that the monkeys could not open the cupboard doors (most of which had broken latches). Well, the monkeys repeatedly got every last item we had, opening all doors, urinated on all surfaces and destroyed everything in the kitchen - on multiple occasions. This outdoor kitchen is not a good idea and will eventually make someone sick. We spent a small fortune on cleaning supplies and I still do not know if it was hygenic to eat from. A concertina door of some sorts would have prevented this. Beds were very uncomfortable, bedding poor quality. Not all bedrooms had aircons, which is a necessity for a good nights sleep on vacation. This property cost more than many others offered, yet sadly provided a rather unpleasant cleaning experience with lack of sleep. Having UK visitors here was embarassing.
The outdoor verandah was great, until 8PM when security guard essentially told us we were not allowed to talk as it made a noise. So no chatting around the braai outdoors. Swimming pool is huge and well maintained. Plenty sleeping space for families.

South AfricaNothing not to like and that which may be a problem to some is just the way it is in St Lucia - monkeys raiding your breakfast by day and hippos by night that wonder around. That's just something to be aware of, not to complain about!
The town of St Lucia is a gem. The scenery and surroundings are magnificent, add to this Bushpigs Haven. Set on beautiful sub-tropical gardens, 3 bedrooms with great beds, a patio that extends and overlooks the biggest swimming pool I've ever seen at any guest house, anywhere in South Africa with a very well equipped outdoor but covered kitchen area with everything you can think of and the privacy offered and the location is unmatched. From here you can walk to anywhere in St Lucia safely.

South AfricaNot a nice setup with the outside kitchen and the monkeys. For a short stay probably doable. 1 or 2 nights. I did not like going outside early for your morning coffee, the monkeys is hectic if you leave anything outside. The place needs a deep clean and some upgrades. Cockroaches was a bit bad. Would have appreciated wifi.
We enjoyed the large verendah when no one from the lodge was in the pool. The location is good, but I think every place in st lucia is walking distance. Very nice pool as well

United KingdomThe apartment was musty and as it was higher than the rest of the site the smoke from the fires all came in the vents to the rooms whilst empty so when we arrived it took a while to clear.
Good location. Good size rooms - unusual setup which worked ok. (Kitchen outside)
