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 Africashower was dirty. soap scum all around on inside glass doors.. mould in grouting .. could use a proper professional clean up .. just didn’t feel like it had been cleaned properly in a while .. Also TV only has SABC 2 .. device not registered so cant change channel. See there are DStv dishes but they using ovhd now.. which hasn’t got much to watch anyways but we understand these days you need to save money and DStv is expensive. Plus you not there to watch TV I get that but if it’s an extended stay wkends for sport maybe a must as there aren’t really places nearby to watch.
quiet. secluded great view. lovely swimming pool. close access to beach nice for runs.

South AfricaWas a bit disappointed that we had to travel for dinner the first night and that there weren't any alcoholic beverages available. Yet they have such a beautiful pub. The menu needs an upgrade for sure. A bigger variety is needed. A glass of wine with my dinner and the view would have been amazing.
The cabin we stayed is was very clean and comfortable. The view was beautiful. Quiet and tranquil, a must if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Staff was very friendly, and a bonus was the hot stone massage. Exceptional.

South AfricaThe place seems a bit dated and could use a bit of TLC Nothing too dire - a loose rung on our balcony, odd chairs in the balcony and odd glasses and coffee mugs in the room's coffee station gave an air of haphazardness - not the careful touch you'd expect from a resort
The rooms are spacious and the view is amazing The staff - Nombuso and her team - will keep you as happy and comfortable as possible! Being Muslim, having the halaal delicious meals at such convenience will have me come back for sure!

South AfricaA microwave and kitchen station would have made it abit easier. Shower has a very light spray, not good for someone who loves their showers.
The menu is small but excellent, the food and deserts that were made was amazing. They cater for light fetish meals also. Mrs Khan and Nombuso are great hosts, they give clients personal attention.

South AfricaNo iron or ironing board in the rooms. The beds and pillows were too hard. The resort should invest in a generator for the load shedding.. That will certainly attract more guests to the resort... No air-conditioned was ON when there are few guests also no filtered coffee..These are fixed when there are many guests .. like when we were leaving, we saw 4 families at the dining area.. We had to request for towels on the 3rd day, apparently the cleaning staff just simply forgot..
The location..and the shower.. Chantelle was very accommodating.. and helpful.
