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 AfricaMaybe think about expanding the patio roof, it started raining one night from a side angle and the whole patio was raining wet even under the roof.
It was 10 steps away from the ocean, no traffic at night.

I loved the view. It was like we on the beach because you could hear the waves from inside of the apartment. It is a great fishing spot. Will definitely book there again.. Christo and the lady from Billsbest was very helpful

South AfricaBed was a bit hard and some maintenance needed around the place. Gutter directly outside sliding door was dripping as it had a hole in it and could have cause nasty slips. Braai was rusted and almost falling apart
The location and sea views was amazing.

South AfricaWe did not like the fact that you advertise that Riptide is a comfortable walk from the flat...it is, in fact, a comfortable walk but you CANNOT access it by foot the entire ocean is infront of it and deep, the surfers there use their boards to cross there. Maintenance was done during our stay, and we had to ask them at a time to please stop because the pounding was really iritating, after they stopped, we had terrible paint fumes. Our noughbours got robbed through their window during the night, so we could not sleep with open doors or windows, with a humidity of 91 and stage 6 Loadshedding. We almost had heat exhaustion and had to take turns to at least keep the window open for a few minutes...please can you secure the patio area so that guests can have ventilation at night even if there is no loadshedding it was still terrible. Also, it is VERY dark during losdshedding and already in a place where there is crime, so why not put up solar lights outside? There is no enventory list, so I can not see if I get what they hold me responsible for. This morning, when we left I noticed in the cupboard was written 10 hangers and there was only 8 so we had to buy 2 and leave it there because how will I prove I did not take it. There's wifi details on the fridge, but unfortunately, during our week's stay, it did not work once. The parking is not identified by the unit on the side of starfish and periwinkle, so when we arrived, someone was in starfish occupying both parkings with a car, trailer and a bike leaving us to park outside. I saw that parking can not be reserved, but I feel that every unit should be treated equally and at least have one parking per unit.
We liked the location and easy access to the beach front. And that we could see the sunrise from our place. We also really liked the beautiful pool.It is very well maintained. Beautiful beach walks and routes. Uncle Christo and his team are very professional and involved and are always friendly and willing to help. We had a replacement of sheets without asking as promised, and they even changed the bin in the kitchen without asking. We always had a quick response when we needed something. The roof fans in the unit are really strong and help a lot during the night when you can not open windows. Jojo's with backup water available. The shower has very strong water pressure, and water is always hot. This was GREAT. The couches were very comfy. This place is VERY central from everything in the area. Open view is installed, so there are some movies channel's available.

United KingdomAll was good. Our toaster broke but staff replaced with new one very quickly.
The position almost on the rocks but with a stretch of garden in front of patio is really great. It's like being on a ship but without the rough seas. Very easy to fish off the rocks but in sight from the flat. Or beach cast along nice beach all way to South Broom.

South AfricaThe place met all of our requirements, nothing to complain about
The location of Southern Comfort - Periwinkle is unbelievably amazing. We could watch the ocean the entire time. It truly is a gem of a place if you are looking for a sea view and quick access to the beach.

South AfricaThe bedding (sounds silly, I know). It kind of felt like we were 5 years old with the pink, blue and yellow elephants on the covers. Didn't look very elegant. We were on honeymoon, so something a little more romantic would have been appreciated.
The view of the ocean was exceptional. Hearing the waves as when going to bed was exactly what we needed. The unit is fitted with absolutely everything that we needed. We cannot wait to go back there.
