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.).

The people there was very welcoming and nice. Also the location directly at the beach with great waves is perfect, especially for surfing.

South AfricaIts the 2nd time we have stayed there and both times the bedside lights didn't work, this time no plugs worked at all in our room so couldn't charge anything 🙃 but gave us more quality time i guess. The bed in our room was extremely hard.
The view is breathtaking, however if you have a bottom floor room the bush is in the way of the view. Otherwise its perfect 👌

AustriaOutdoor furniture on the balcony was broken. Screws are sticking out of the wood. Needs to be replaced immediately. Ashtrays from previous guests were not removed from the balcony. Mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. Kitchen for self cooking is very badly equipped. Fridge is filthy. The property offers the most unprofessional surf lessons/ rental I have ever seen: Asked multiple times for a intermediate lesson and got only a basic / beginners class. They rent surfboards but don't even have wax for the boards. Wetsuits are filthy and not washed properly. I recommend "Salted Surf School" instead.
Amazing location and very friendly staff.

South AfricaBit of a distance to communal ablution block. Parking area had limited space and no parking available when going out and coming back late evening/night.
Loved the sea view. Could lay on bed with door open and enjoy the sea view. Small rustic log cabin. good for a short fun stay. enjoyed the setup and friendly staff. Common social area, bar restaurant, Braai area good and great to meet all the travelers. Communal ablution block was clean and tidy at all times. Beach access was a big bonus only a short walk away.

South AfricaI was excited to take a nice bath when I opened the tap the water came out all over the floor and not in the bath. Also didn't have a kettle in the kitchen, asked for one and was told they're bringing one, it never came. Bedside lights way too bright.
The view, the sound of the ocean, the cleanliness and the shower. There is a lovely island vibe here for real. Definitely a good spot for a group of young people. Didn't have of their food but there were a variety of meal options.

United KingdomDespite enjoying a good party myself, the hostel hosts party events at their own bar which can jeopardise your surfing lesson the following day if your instructor joins. ;-)
Awesome hostel with sea view and awesome sunsets. The hostel is pretty large and provides parking, a big community space with a bar and a big kitchen. The hostel provides surfing lessons which start directly from the hostel which is super convenient. Unfortunately our instructor was hungover from the party the night before hosted by the hostel which meant our lesson wasn’t great.
