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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

South AfricaThe inside of the cottage gets very hot and stuffy, a fan of airconditioning would be comfortable.
The location of the lodge is great and the hospitality of the owners was lovely.

South AfricaThe bed wasn't great. I would have appreciated a voile curtain on the window along the pathway.
This was one of the most well equipped kitchens. I loved the outside patio and views from the main building. Oh and of course the Dogs made our stay. Hehe.

South AfricaRoad to coffee bay is very bad. 20km/hr speed for 40km due to potholes. Be careful if you are travelling with a car. 4x4 is much better.
Excellent location. A must see for those that haven't visited the wild coast. Totally scenic.

South AfricaRustic accommodation but very comfortable. Hosts are ever helpful, chilled atmosphere draws you into the Coffee Bay vibe. Potholes are bad on latter half of road from N2 but worth the effort even in a non-SUV provided you're willing to take it slow - suggest one allow 2hrs daylight driving time for this section to be on the cautious side

United StatesNothing. Everything was on point!
We were pleasantly surprised by this place. The pictures don’t do it justice. they’ve recently remodeled the common space deck and it’s absolutely gorgeous. seems like some of the best and highest views in all of Coffee Bay. the room was very comfy and clean. has a small kitchenette with basic needs and coffee/tea/kettle we’re provided. the host also provided us with a battery powered light for scheduled power cuts/load shedding. secure parking inside a gate too. the host was fantastic: very approachable, kind, and accommodating. she’s lived in Coffee Bay for most of her life and had lots of interesting stories to tell. we had a crawfish and steak dinner that was absolutely delicious. we loved this spot. can’t recommend enough!

South AfricaThe views perched above Coffee Bay of the entire bay absolutely stunning. The accommodation itself is a reflection of the laid back feel of the area. If you are looking for a casual homely feel with basic finishes then it is for you. If you are wanting 5star finishes etc then not for you. The dinner , breakfast and Michelle the Hostess.

He is game for anything, from organising day trips to teaching our son how to play the drum. The cottage is convenient and has everything you need. The views over the ocean are amazing.
