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.).

United KingdomWas all great. Can't fault the property. Loadshedding is a pain however the backups were pretty efficient.
Stunning location, amazing facilities, beside a beautiful beach with huge pods of dolphins entertaining us all day. Great pre-arrival advice on where to buy supplies (Thyme and Again farm shop nearby) and Colleen there to welcome us and check us out. Wish we had booked for longer.

South AfricaThe water situation. One wing of the house takes extremely long for hot water to reach Its a 12 sleeper which we were so unfortunately showers need to be staggered.
The location is amazing. The house is stunning photos do not do any justice It was so spacious and the beds are really comfortable. There are 2 braai areas just incase the wind is coming off the sea you can still braai on the side of the house

GermanyI was already impressed by the pictures, but the house is even better then that. The sea view from all bedrooms, the spacious rooms, the design, the living room with table tennis and a billiard table… I could go on an on, it’s the best house we’ve ever been in.

South AfricaThe drain of the main bedroom's shower overflowed quite easily which floods the bathroom floor due to the open shower concept.
Amazing location and house facilities. Had everything and more we could have possibly needed. The house far exceeded the photos we saw. The view of the ocean was out of this world. Would gladly come back and would recommend this house to anyone looking for a luxury beachfront family vacation house.

United KingdomTo describe Villa Mare Nostrum as a luxury villa is an understatement. It is a palatial mansion perched spectacularly above Keurbooms with majestic views over Keurbooms, Plettenberg Bay and Robberg.The photos don’t do this villa justice, it is beautifully decorated throughout, the outdoor and indoor living spaces are spacious and the whole setting is just breathtaking.

South AfricaEverything was great perhaps just adding a pump to the geyser will help to re-warm the shower water quicker when there's a full house of a family.
We had a self catering experience which works best for a large family. The location was superb a short walk to the beach which was very much at peace. The entertainment inside the ensure ensured we all were kept busy adults and kids and there was no dull moment.

South AfricaThis property is exceptional and very beautiful. The views are stunning, the rooms magnificent and attention to detail exceptional (there is even wood for barbeques and fires). The children loved the pool and table tennis tables, and couldn't resist a freezing dip in the infinity pool. Many thanks to the owners for sharing their beautiful holiday home and to Rene for her friendly welcome.

South AfricaNothing! Everything was wonderful :)
Very seldom you get to a place to stay and it is better in real life than in the pics but this was the case with villa mare nostrum. The house is much bigger and open than I expected and really the most perfect place to stay. Everything about the house is first class and we will definitely be back!

South AfricaNothing at all
Everything from the host, to the house, to the location, to the space!! Was completely blown away by this experience. Exceeded our expectations on every level possible. We were completely spoilt with space. Area was really safe and secure. Literally just crossed the road and you were on the beach. The house was equipped with everything you would possibly need. There was even a little mall less than 15mins away if you need to stock up(Woolies,Pick n Pay,Checkers). We canceled all our day trips we planned for the duration of our stay and opted to spending all our time in the house or on the beach. The host Rene was so friendly and always available. We have already booked our next stay at this Villa. Keep up the amazing job guys.
