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 AfricaWhen we got here some of the cups and glasses were abit dirty. I feel the showers could be properly cleaned, you can see the mould and mildew build up which unfortunately led to my youngest child of 3 getting a fungal infection. We ate at the restaurant and the food was great but the time waiting for the food to come was really long and that was highly annoying. We here with kids so waiting for food is a no no. The carpet in the lounge doesn't seem clean and when sitting in the lounge in the evening it's like small bugs are biting us. I would suggest to rather remove those altogether.
Apart from what I stated above ,this place is a real Gem

South AfricaPrice vs value of restaurant - can be better. Limited options not reflected in price. Had some water pressure issue but was sorted out the next day by housekeeping. Could have been prevented with thorough check of room before guests arrive.
Beautiful views and good sized apartment with everything we needed. Friendly staff.

South AfricaThe staff needs to be more efficient in performing there duties especially in the restaurant. You wait for hours before the waiter attends to your needs.
The menu for breakfast was overpriced and the selection was not varied. For a buffet breakfast you didn’t have much to chose from that was on offer. If you did want the buffet you couldn’t chose from a set menu. I had breakfast at Zinkwazi Langoona. That breakfast was out of this world and very reasonably priced.

South Africalong wait for cold dry pizza room service Aircon in lounge didnt work
Staff were extremely friendly Manager on duty took my constructive feedback well, Made notes in her book to ensure everything i brought to her attention would be resolved. She tried to refund me for Pizzas that arrived cold and a bit dry (room service, took over an hour for pizza) however i refused as slip ups do happen. Manager was extremely appreciative of my feedback. i will come back to this resort based on my overall experience, The staff and the management being so accommodating and taking extra time to listen tentatively to my feedback

South AfricaFor a 4-Star hotel I expected a lot more from a customer service perspective. Right from the check-in we noticed it. In general we found the staff to be somewhat unhelpful and unfriendly which was rather disappointing (except for Mr. Lallie who was friendly and brought some structure to the chaos and seemed to be involved with organizing everything). The staff "seemed" unhappy to work there and it reflected in the way they treated the guests (maybe they were tired after the busy holiday season). The breakfast was late every single morning (they say it is opens from 7am, but they were rarely ready by 8am with everything). The breakfast itself was fine, nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave about either, it was pretty much exactly the same every day, 3-star at best. On face value I would say there seems to be an issue with the general management (or lack thereof) of the hotel. If this can be resolved, this hotel can once again be a true 4-star hotel.
The hotel, property and location is absolutely beautiful. It has great beach access directly from the property via a beautiful walkway through lush dune forest (with some stairs to climb). The room itself was very clean and well appointed, except for the couch seat in the living room which has seen better days. Everything worked fine and we didn't have any complaints about the interior of the room. We stayed in an Executive Suite and it was equipped with a kitchenette, but there were only 2 glasses and 2 cups and 1 spoon - but it was not advertised as a self-catering unit, so it didn't bother us. Unfortunately we ended up with a room right above the pool and dining area (and right next to the kitchen), so don't expect much privacy and tranquility if you stay in rooms 1 to 4. Fortunately we had a great sea view which made up for it. Overall the hotel itself is great, and our stay was enjoyable and you cant beat the location in Zinkwazi.
