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 unit was clean and tidy. Beautiful views. Peaceful and relaxing. The beach was only a short walk away. The hosts Alan and Viv was very helpful and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The fishing was exceptional and managed to catch a few fish on our stay.

South AfricaThe South Coast has water shortages but South Sands has 7 water tanks!!! The community of Glenmore needs to address the water issue with the municipality as people and businesses are suffering without any water for awhile. Alan is a champ because he's always in contact with the councilors. Thank you Alan for being so accommodating, helpful and thoughtful 🙏
Clean, tranquil and beautiful 😍 the property was so comfortable and spacious. Alan and Viv put alot of love into this gem which is well equipped (even has a first aid kit). There's alot of stairs.... to trek luggage is a workout but once you're inside the property you'll forget about everything. Plenty of warm bedding, kitchen has everything (just needs an airfryer 😃) deck was my favorite place to just chill and do lots of whale spotting 🐋 Can't wait to come back again ♥️

South AfricaEnjoyed every moment there!
For a very refreshing change to the norm, the place advertised looks much better in presence than the photos on the website! On the Beach @ South Sands. No.2 is an absolute gem of a place to stay and absolutely worth every cent! Proximity to the beach is fantastic! The thoughtfulness of Alan and Viv is exemplary and market-leading. South Sands No.2 has been thoroughly equipped with all catering requirements for everyday usage. It is definitely a 'home' away from home! @ South Sands No.2 is an absolute gem on the South Coast!

United KingdomWe had a lovely family holiday at On the Beach over Easter. Alan was very communicative throughout and shared detailed instructions for everything to make our stay as comfortable and safe as possible. The unit itself is very well equipped for a self-catered stay and has rechargeable lightbulbs and portable lamps for load shedding. The complex has its own private path down to the beach – it’s only a minute’s walk away. The area felt safe for runs and walks and the beach is pristine. There are many other tourist attractions in close proximity, including the Munster Classic Car Museum and the Red Desert. One thing to note – there’s a fair distance between the parking and the unit with many steps. This may be an issue for people with mobility issues. I highly recommend Alan’s place – we had a 5-star stay!

South AfricaThe steps from the car park to the unit (& to the beach) kept us fit! Anyone with the slightest mobility issues will not navigate the stairs as they are hectic. Carrying the luggage etc was not easy at all.
Clean, comfortable, great view, easy access to the beach & essentially home away from home with a beach😊 Completely safe with highly effective & efficient security measures. We really enjoyed the time & can recommend.

South AfricaThe driveway was a bit difficult to manage in the beginning and very tight for a larger vehicle. There were a lot of stairs to get to the unit but manageable unless its raining.
The distance from the beach was excellent. Hearing the waves crashing on the rocks was relaxing. Clean and neat and comfortable.

South AfricaAgh load shedding and the horrible weather were the only complaints we had
Loved the friendly customer service from Alan and Viv who made us feel like family. Thank you guys for your attention to detail, your concern and preparedness for load shedding as well as the option for added accommodation during the floods that occurred in KZN almost leaving us stranded in the South Coast. We loved the cosy abode that you provided along with all the necessary amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to book with you guys again in the near future.

South AfricaThe place was exceptionally clean. Beautiful views with easy access to the beach. The rooms were neat and spacious. We absolutely loved that the hosts were so thoughtful towards guests.Alan was available via whasapp or phonecalls whenever we needed any additional information.Exceptional value for money and overall wonderful stay. Would take note that the stairway/ walk to the apartment is quite long and a little steep, so if you're traveling with the elderly, it may not be too easy however overall 10 out of 10 would recommend.

United KingdomYou need to be aware that if you wish to stay at this house, there are 85 steps down to the unit. Everything has to be moved up and down those steps, luggage, food, etc. For many, this will not be an issue, but disabled or elderly need to take note as it is not mentioned on Booking.com We were there in January, and it was hot and humid, AC would be a huge bonus that we would have been happy to pay more in the rental price to have, it would completely change the dynamic of the property.
Good location with excellent access to a lovely breach. Lovely views from the terrace and the lounge. TV was good with Netflix etc. There is plenty of usable kitchen equipment everything you would need and more is there. Excellent first aid kit, not used, but glad the owners had one available in a back pack so if needed on or around the beach it could be quickly picked up and first aid applied at the scene, great bit of safety equipment. Well done, Alan. Good shower upstairs. Value for money.
