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 AfricaI think the rooms needs a little TLC. Paint on walls are cracking quite a lot, damp and mold damage visible in the rooms and showers. For what we paid per night over Dec, I do expect it to look a little better insise.
Always a pleasure to stay at Ocean Reaf, been our 5th time there and will be back again and again

South AfricaThere were renovations taking place when we were there which meant that there was some confusion with the parking arrangements. I have no doubt this will be an exceptional hotel when the renovations are done.
The breakfast was Ok. The prices were high and at times the food arrived cold but other than that, the breakfast was fine. The location was exceptional. For such an isolated location, the establishment is missing a trick by having a good rather than exceptional kitchen.

South AfricaZinkwazi does not have decent shops, so come prepared with your groceries when staying in the self catering units to save yourself a 40km round trip. There are some aspects of the hotel that shows it's age, however it did not bother us two much.
The two bedroom apartment was larger than expected. We stayed in the front unit at the top level, the view of the ocean was very beautiful. We enjoyed the gas grill on the stoep. The hotel is very close to the beach with a well kept walking path through the short bush section.

BotswanaPoor cleanliness. Bathroom and kitchen was not too clean. Kitchen utensils were in a poor state. No other options for meals or snacks besides the restaurant. There were no kids activities besides the jungle gym. There was no Christmas theme during the festive season. Complimentary water was only available on the day we checked in.
Wonderful location. Rooms were nice and spacious.

South AfricaOur shower floor was not draining water properly, nothing a bit of unclogging won't fix.
Beautiful place. Comfortable suite. The staff was very helpful, from the receptionist to the waiter. Food was exceptional. My partner had the lamb shank, and he couldn't stop raving about it. The food was brought up to our room at our request and was the best service. Breakfast was filling and had a lot to choose from the buffet. Definitely coming back.

South AfricaThey struggled with load shedding, and weren't able to give us an access card for the first night, so we had to get reception to let us in to the room, but it all got sorted pretty quickly.
The Hotel has its own direct beach access. Staff were courteous and professional. Bathroom was really clean and the shower was great.

South AfricaFew cockroaches in the room, shower floor didn't drain while bathing which was a bit dangerous due to slippery floor, this is due to poor tiling. I was particularly concerned as I'm recovering from a major back injury and I'm still battling with my stability.
The facility is fantastic, Beach access was awesome! We will be back as my family loved the venue and area, hopefully next visit will yield 5 stars and all smiles! :-)

South AfricaWifi signal on TV was very low, did not work as well as expected. Coffee and towels did take time to arrive in the morning, would have preferred if it arrived earlier. Would have preferred butter as condiments, had to shop around for butter in Zinkwazi, hotel does not provide butter and decided to sell us butter at a ridiculous price
Amazing views, modern finishes.
