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 AfricaThe front door is getting stuck and very noisy, the toilet is leaking, windows do not close properly, shower access is very small, shower head is very low for tall people like me, braai is rickety, table and bench outside has had better days, no broom were available to sweep the unit, dishwashing liquid provided was no good.
Access to everything was great, the bed was very comfortable. Our children stayed at #22 and that unit's layout and presentation was perfect.

South AfricaThe write up and description of the property for its listing is inaccurate and misleading. The photos, however, are accurate. It is not an apartment, these are self catering chalets, this is actually written on the wall on the entrance into the property. There are not satellite channels there is one channel. The "dining area" is a nook/counter that runs from the kitchen against the wall with barstools (there is no dining area). There is no terrace with river views, this is at the end of the property. There is no private pool, there is a communal pool for the residents and holiday makers staying at the chalets. There is no "outdoor fireplace", there is a small steel braai on the patio. The main bed needs to be changed out desperately, it is extremely well worn. We were only provided 2 brown sugar sachets and 2 coffee sachets, for a stay of 4 days (and this chalet fits 4 people) Luckily we brought our own, but do not expect to get tea, sugar or coffee - bring your own! Similarly we were only provided 2 rolls of toilet paper for a stay of 4 days and for a chalet that fits 4 people. This also didn't matter too much as we bought our own, but just FYI (especially if you accidently drink the water and get sick) Buy bottled water! There is no wifi, id highly recommend the owners install wifi asap. This is a dealbreaker for both holiday makers, especially out of country tourists who use wifi for everything and families with kids who use it to entertain them We also had a couple run in's with our holiday'ing neighbours swearing and screaming at each other, however this is something that the owner cant control, but should be kept in mind, that the patios of the chalets are barely separated. So it is definitely not private.
My partner and I had a lovely stay at Manzini Chalets. The chalet is small, quaint and fully equipped to have everything you need to enjoy a short stay in St Lucia. We appreciated the cookware the most as it was very decent cookware and with it being self catering we cooked for ourselves every morning and evening. Jaeney who met us and handed over the keys was very friendly and exceptionally helpful, especially in showing us the various maps kept in the chalet, the nearby activities, where we could book tours etc. The parking is secure and there are security guards 24/7 which set our minds at ease. We were provided with extra water for the cistern for load shedding which we were grateful for. Despite a rocky start with dirty crockery, the rest of the chalet was spotless, clean sheets, bedding and towels all provided. The chalet is airconditioned but my highlighted feature was the remote controlled fan and light, which I loved and am now intent on putting one in my own home! The location is great, its on the main road and is nearby to both the cultural stalls / market on one side and on the other is the way to do the hippo and croc tours (4pm is the best tour to take!) It's safe, you can walk at night to and from the many restaurants in the area. We ate at Barracca one evening (Highly recommend their Schnitzel), drinks are a little on the expensive side but they do also have a wide range of cocktails and their mojito is the best ive ever had. There is a Shoprite and Spar further down the road, some clothing stores, outdoor stores and a pharmacy - basically everything at your fingertips Would definitely consider coming back if wifi was installed

South AfricaNo comfy chair to sit on a carpet would be nice at side of bed in winter. An instruction manual for stove and tv would be nice. Shower head kneads cleaning out with vinegar or bicarbonate of soda then it would spray nicely and the temperature of your water needs turning down it is red hot the minute you turn on tap. Otherwise all good.
l liked the peacefulness and how well manicured the complex was lovely and clean and a sparkling clean pool.

South AfricaNO FAN in the second room. My child had to sleep next to my double bed on a mattress on the FLOOR the entire stay. Very uncomfortable as space always an issue and bed full of sand. We did request for a fan- with NO luck. Parking an issue when fully booked. Linnen and clean towels only changed on day 4 of our stay. (27 Dec-7 Jan) Towels dont dry easily in humidity and started to smell after a while.
Great location. Stunning pool in complex. Laundry facilities great! Well equiped kitchen. Additional box freezer like other units would've been a plus.
