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 AfricaThe surrounds are very noisy as they are situated right next to a main road. There were a few things fixed with duct tape inside the unit. The front doors' lock broke on our second last day and was removed, so we had to keep the door unlocked during the day when we left to the beach. At least there is a shift lock on the inside of the door to lock at night. The gate was also an issue. It remained open about a meter at night and most of the day. It would not close properly. We even had to help repair it once because we could not get in. A few items were missing in the kitchen and ensure to take a knife sharpener, a kitchen washcloth, foil, and cling film along. The braai is old and warped from all the heat. It needs to be replaced.
The unit is very close to the beach, which is very convenient. Selina and Mercy were there to help all of the time. The inside of the unit is very neat.

South AfricaIt’s not efficient since you have to pay a deposit at a different place and collect the key at the property. The guy at reception wasn’t friendly or considerate. It would be better to have the deposit and key pick up at the same place.The kitchen had a lot of tiny roaches so hygiene is an issue.
The location is perfect, beautiful view from the place.it’s walking distance from the beach and there’s restaurants nearby. It’s also close to the mall. The staff at the property were friendly and the place was clean

The location was excellent within easy reach of shops, bars and restaurants along the beachfront. It was good value for money.

South AfricaI feel like I was not welcome in the first place. I booked 2 Villas. A day before I received a call asking if we are couples I said no then they asked to put us in one unit at the same price that I paid with no discount. I refused. Now they don't want to refund my breakage deposit, they say we left the unit dirty and made excessive noise which is not true. Those who made noise by the pool that was also disturbing us were disciplined by the white guy that I think is a caretaker.
The place was good

South AfricaNot clean enough, even the building itself is worn out. No reception, we had to go check in at some dodgy place 10 minutes away from the apartment. Breakage fee is not reflecting on booking.com. Our room had a fowl smell, nothing fresh.
The Location is perfect and closer to the ocean. And the staff was friendly.

South AfricaThe only downer was the beds were rock hard and not comfortable.
It was convenient for what we needed. However the person whom we dealt with at Ballito backers was rude. As we had arranged that we would be arriving late.

South AfricaThe parking was tight so a big vehicle might battle a bit to manoeuvre around but that’s a small thing to contend with.
It was clean and secure. The aircons were amazing, well needed in the humid climate. Not modern but very clean and comfortable.
