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 AfricaStayed in this unit before, thoroughly enjoyed it again but, it rained heavily all night and the bathroom is in a separate building from the bedroom with no roof or covering between the 2.
Private, comfortable, clean. Despite getting wet in the middle of the night to get to the bathroom, it was another fantastic stay. Will definitely go back.

South AfricaNo Chocolates or cookies as stated on the list. My teenagers where quite disappointed. Small thing but sure counts a whole lot, especially while a family is going through a divorce :( No toaster as stated on the list. Why even mention it if it's a "non self catering" facility then? 4 people. 4 beds. Cottage only catered for 3 dishes and plates. Again. Small things matter to make all guests feel welcome. Cutlery, plates etc supplied but no means to wash them for re-use? Even a huge bucket would help. We had to ASK for more toilet paper. 4 people, 2 days? I will definitely revisit if they could improve on the matters mentioned. The gas braai on the stoep saved the day. Thank you!
Comfortable and cosy, matresses and linen of excellent quality. Shower works brilliant. Power outlets, fans etc really

South AfricaWe were in shock to find out that the bathroom was outside and every time you need to go to bathroom on a very rainy cold night you have to leave the room and go outside in rain during the night...........and also the host we never met only the cleaning lady , the cleaning lady was super friendly . We wanted to braai pre-cooked ribs which was going to be quick but we were told we could not make any fire as the wind was very strong which was understandable. Then I sent the host a message to find out where we can order dinner that can be delivered , she never replied that night to my text , so we decided to go out and go look for dinner and that way we could have dinner that night.... She only replied the next morning which was already too late.......we would'nt have had so much problem with the place , but It would have been nice to know before arrival about the outside bathroom so we could have requested an en-suite room. The bathroom outside is beautiful and fully functioning no problem about that , it's just an unusual situation to wake up at night from a warm bed and go outside the room to bathroom on a windy ,rainy and cold night.
We were booked at the room called Courtyard. The location of the place is great .The room was clean and met all we needed for the night and the bed was comfortable . Everything was nice and clean.......The putt putt area is the peak of the visit , we have enjoyed that very much. The property itself is beautiful .

South AfricaStayed in the Rooftop Bungalow - The room had a strong damp smell - likely from the carpet and this made the stay unpleasant.
Area was quiet. Beds and equipment provided were clean. Cute little outdoor seating on the rooftop that we enjoyed when the sun came out.

South AfricaWe had not hot water in the evenings. We had to make use of the bathrooms at the Links. What would have happened if we weren't golfer's and did not have access to the facilities at the Links. We were also parked in and my husband had to walk, in the rain, to the golf club. There are tea and coffee facilities in the room, but no kettle. I had to boil water in the microwave.

South AfricaCommunication was really bad. The lack thereof made me wonder if I'm being scammed. No payment confirmation sent. Every communication initiated came from me - which is not what I'm used to when travelling. The toilet was also blocked.
We travelled for a friend's birthday party and just needed a place to spend the night. The place is neat and the staff is friendly.

South AfricaMirror situation was uncomfortable. There was no mirror near an electric point to do your hair. Only face mirror in bathroom that can’t be removed. A full length mirror when you’re getting ready is also a must, especially for the ladies.

South Africa- The upstairs cottage is rustic and some of the beds and bedding is old and lumpy. - There is no stove only a gas braai outside which is in the open sun (no shelter under which to cook) no sink or wash basin other than the one in the bathroom for washing up food items or cooking and eating dishes etc. Considering that it is a self catering facility this is extremely inconvenient. The gas cannister was almost empty making a breakfast a lengthy messy affair. - There is no dining area or nook with chairs inside the cottage only a picnic table and benches outside in the blazing sun or wind which is not suitable as there is no shelter outside in this area. - The is a huge tree in the middle of the property with a very strong pungent smell (like damp carpet) that surrounds the living spaces all the time. Considering the hot weather this smell makes leaving doors and windows open very uncomfortable. - The tree also drops lots of berries that stick to shoes and get into the rooms and living spaces. - The outside braai and picnic areas were all unkept, dusty and covered with leaves and could not be used. - There were many wasp hives around door frames and window frames with wasps present...not safe.
The locations is central and close enough to all amenities. It is a quiet area and close to all the attractions in St Francis Bay.
