How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

- • Stayed 2 nights
A coffee plunger lid broke (it was clearly old as it broke along the wooden seam). We reported it to house keeping. Once we had checked out we were called 2 hours later and told we had to buy a new plunger and replace it. I then had to drive back to Kenton to buy a simple plunger and drop it at the accommodation. This was extremely inconvenient and unprofessional

A heated bed and slippers would be an added touch to make it more cosy in the winter. For the price and being a luxury stay, a back up generator would be an added bonus. Ensure alarm systems are shown to guests. We had an incident with them going off late at night! However, the staff were very helpful and at the other end of the phone. 😊 Pool pump was very noisy from the main bedroom- we needed to turn it off at night.
Absolutely beautiful apartment! Way more than we would expect from a self- catering. So nicely done with everything you could need. Many candles to light during load shedding! We loved our stay- very comfortable, especially the ‘comfy sack’ in the living area! Portable radiators, soft dressing gowns and plenty of fire wood helped with the cold of winter. Felt very safe. Daily house keeping. Kenton on Sea is magical. One of the highlights of our trip- don’t miss it!

Private, secure and secluded. The only thing missing is a view but the pool, patio and attention to detail make up for this. Proximity to estuary and beaches makes up for the lack of view.

The accommodation is very spacious and beautifully decorated with a lot of thought and no expense spared. The "Indigo" theme was carried throughout. Well equipped and very comfortable. John, the manager, was very friendly and helpful. Pity we only had one night there.

Couple of issues Front door jammed and we were locked in. Credit to John he got the maintenance team in double quick. There were a few occasions when we were without water. Quickly resolved but none the less inconvenient. Needs looking at.
From the super efficient and super friendly welcome from John to the wow factor as soon as we entered the apartment and then the unbelievable space available to us we were absolutely delighted. So much so be doubled the length of our stay. This a testament to the property because apart from the beach there’s not that much to Kenton on sea. That said if you want a complete chill break and a stay in sumptuous accommodation give it a try. All in all it’s a credit to the owners and the management team and we felt privileged to have been able to stay there.

The indoor fireplace (it's winter) and bean sack was the highlight and endless amounts of wood was an added bonus. If it was summer I'm sure the outdoor shower would be the highlight.

If there can be a special host transport that can take visitors to the beach even to the shops etc, with additional cost of course if need be or can be inclusive to the booking. Even if one use his or her own transport, one visit to relax and it would be much more interesting if services of been driven around were available. That’s my opinion.
Peaceful and completely comfortable
