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.).

NamibiaWould have been great if there was an airconditioner in the room since we had to keep room doors closed due to the baboons. There was a fan, but it didn’t provide enough airflow.
The Grille Shack Restaurant’s food was delicious! Loved the décor in the rooms. Sanette arranged a sleeper couch for the kids to sleep on.

South AfricaNo food available after 4pm for overnight guests. Not a huge issue since places are within 10-15min driving distance.
Super cute and unique stay! Good value for money and good care of guests. Also a plus that they are totally off-grid during bad loadshedding stages.

South AfricaAmazing place to be especially at night when it’s quiet. Just as a tip the unit closest to the parking is Morris which would be easier for older people or those who don’t want to walk on a rocky path to Austin (middle unit) or Wolseley (last unit).

South AfricaWould be nice to have direct access to the coastline from the property. But it is only a short walk along Clarence Drive over the Steenbras river mouth.
Beautifully appointed room with everything you need, including a fire place with a supply of firewood. The fire place came in very handy as a cold front was passing through. Also has an outside shower which will be very handy in summer. Also had a very nice meal at the restaurant next door (they close at 17h00 though), so make sure you eat before then or take a take-away and heat it up in the room. The rooms are equipped with a microwave oven, plates and utensils.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL FOR GUEST COMFORT IN THE CHALETS. PERSONAL ATTENTION FROM THE STAFF TO ENSURE YOU ENJOYED THE STAY. LOCATION, MOUNTAIN VIEWS AND SURROUNDING NATURE WAS INCREDIBLE. A REALLY GREAT PLACE TO BREAK AWAY FROM NOISY SUBURBIA. MUST BE EXPERIENCED TO APPRECIATE IT FULLY.

South AfricaThere was no braai at the unit. The path to our unit is dangerous at night and not suitable for people with disabilities and difficult to carry your luggage. One could walk past the other unit but that was occupied and we were informed that we cant use that access which is understandable. We suggest that they sort out access to the 2 back units with maybe a elevated wooden foot path and add a Webber to each unit or on request from guest.
Fire place in room. Cozy. Good quality bedding. Attention to detail. Loved the retro look. Nice lunch at Restaurant next door would have been nice if they were also open in the evening.

South AfricaI've stayed in many lodges/hotels over quite a couple of continents and I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness, and the functionality of how the rooms are laid out, this was seriously an amazing experience I will be back. Everything works properly, small things to detail, for instance, milk in the fridge, a sufficient supply of coffee sugar and tea, even bottled water next to your bed. And then the beautiful environment surrounded by mountains and sea.

South AfricaUnfortunately I came durring a heat wave and there is no air conditioning. While the fan was powerful it made little difference in the exceptional heat. I am sure however that its perfect at other times.

The rooms are tastefully decorated and all the little extra gifts were appreciated. The location and views are to die for and the restaurant a few feet away, serve some of the best food I have ever had. The service was excellent and they went over and above to make our stay customized.
