How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The estate had a lot of activities and even though it was busy, you still had your space for calm and peace. The estate is very well maintained and the apartment we stayed in was neat and accomodating.

Monkeys at the San Lameer are bad. They gang up and want to attack you. I stayed at many accommodations at the South Coast and this is the worst experience with the monkeys. We were once going to the beach and the monkeys were sitting some distance from the path way leading to the beach and when they noticed us , they ganged up to attack. Luckily we were able to escape and take another route to the beach. We also witnessed another couple being attacked at the hotel while we having lunch at one of the resturants. Luckily the hotel management was able to assist. The management at San Lameer need to urgently attend to this issue with the monkeys .
Facilities were excellent. The Villa was neat and clean. No issues. Enjoyed the stay

Top Destinations were very chaotic and difficult to deal with. I will not book through them again. They made the booking process very stressful Although the estate has an environmental protection approach they use huge amounts of single use plastic in their catering etc
Loved the environmental protection ethos of the estate. The unit was comfortable and the facilities in the estate are excellent

The bed in the main bedroom bed was very uncomfortable and Domestic help was not easy to find. There is a general issue with the availability of water the in South Coast region, however the Unit we stayed at had adequate water stored and there was a common area where residents could top up water if needed.

Reception was not really welcoming or friendly. Load shedding was a nightmare. 3 times a day for 4 hours at a time. I was not aware there was no generator at the accommodation or I would not have booked this place. We could not enjoy our stay as most of the day there was no electricity and it was extremely hot. When we got back from the water park the geyser had been switched off and it was frustrating to have to wait for it to warm up again. We were told the isolator switch could have tripped but upon inspection my husband said this is not an isolator that can trip. So overall this was not a relaxing stay for us.
The property was clean and modern. Close to the beach. Check in was fairly simple

Letting agents devious behaviour be cautious
The Unit was lovely and clean. However we had a bad experience with the Letting agency when hiring a golf cart. The cart was left at the unit when we picked it up to drive it we noticed the golf bag holder was scrapping on the ground badly the gears were problematic and reverse kept jumping out of gear. We drove up the driveway which was quite steep the gear jumped out and stalled the cart at the same time my friend (all girl group) fell out. We reported immediately that they needed to swop of check. We left the keys at the unit and carried on our touring around. The cart was only checked late in the evening by two men in the dark as it was laod shedding they drive the cart and agreed with all the points. Later that evening i received a call saying they would cancel and credit or we keep. I mentioned i would discuss with my friends as they were not in at present. At 10pm once they returned i messaged back saying we agreed to return the cart. The next day they disputed that cancellation till i finally sent all the communications. On the 13th we checked out and then i wait 7 days for the return. Only part of the agreed money was refunded on the 26th of August after much prompting and questioning. Very disappointing 😞 very devious behaviour.

Lack of communication and coordination between Top destination and San Lameer reception regarding our arrival time.Dissapointing and frustrating after a long journey,and the fact that i spoke to Top destination the previous day,and confirmed our arrival time..I was shocked when we arrived the reception staff were not aware of our booking,paid in advanced + damage deposit fees..during our stay there was plumbing issues and we had our water cut off twice,without any notice..
Beautiful site,beautiful beach and love watching the monkeys early morning and evening.Staff were generally friendly and helpful.Our villa was well equipped, smart and spacious.San Lameer is in a banana growing region with the outstanding 'Mac Banana's a must visit for a family day out.
