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.).

A most beautiful property overlooking the Indian Ocean. Fabulous room decorated with style and every luxury. We enjoyed terrific food and gorgeous wines from a magnificent cellar. Massage and then golf on near-by championship course as good as any we've ever played on in South Africa. But what impressed so much were the staff led by the lovely Adelle. A terrific team.

Excellent breakfast with fruit, cereal, several options for cooked breakfast. Good generator, water, wifi - not always guaranteed on South Coast. Decent wine selection, dinner good and we appreciated the kitchen's flexibility to cater to my son's preferences. Amazing location with fabulous view of the ocean

South AfricaWhat an awesome getaway. The property is as stunning as the images imply with great views of the ocean and clean rooms. The gardens are so beautiful. It looked and felt like summer in July. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Great views with a short adventure walk to the beach. Definitely worth the trip.

South AfricaThere was nothing that we didn't like. It was a luxurious, beautiful and exceptionally relaxing. We felt like we were away for a much longer time, even though it was just a short breakaway.
The breakfast was not only good, but more than enough. The team went out of their way to make our stay memorable and exceeded all expectations. Thanks for going the extra mile.

South AfricaThe food and drinks were rather pricey
This is truly a hidden gem, we stayed in the exquisite honey moon suite, the views of the ocean are breath taking, we actually were lucky enough to spot some dolphins and a whale from our balcony! Private access to the beach was an absolute bonus. Overall privacy was exceptional, we didnt even have to close our curtains ever. The staff was amazing, always ready to serve with a smile. The art work all around us amazing. Definitely would come back.

South AfricaNothing. 10/10
Everything. It’s such a unique , exquisite property. It’s along the coast and has private access to the beach. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable especially the day bed. The infinity pool is stunning and very private which is lovely. We also got to do a couples massage which was in the most beautiful spa in the middle of the forrest. The food was exceptional, the staff were all welcoming and lovely the entire weekend. This was our second visit to the lodge and 10/10 as always. We will certainly be visiting again. There are also so many activities to engage in outside of the property.
