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 AfricaThe paradise unit is a one bedroom apartment. It is exactly as advertised. Summer place is Stunning! Neat and clean. Views are amazing from the bedside as well as lounge area. Kitchen & bathroom are modern. The ocean views are amazing. The ocean itself is Awesome. Eric is helpful. He is available at all times. Safe & secure holiday destination. Will definitely be going back with more family. Peaceful, tranquility. Hibberdene, just 5mins away is the closest shopping area, just outside the beach. There are more restaurants at the Port Shepstone Oribi mall, around 15mins. away.

South AfricaCurtains especially in the TV couch area were oil stained and dirty. The open shower with no curtain or glass around it is a wet floor hazard in the bathroom. Romantic, sure. But a swimming pool when you're done!
The location was amazing! The service from the caretakers too.... And it was very comfortable-generally very well-kitted out.

South AfricaJust note, there is no power or inverters for load shedding but this wasn't a problem as emergency lights are provided.
The location of this property was perfect, right at the beach and point for surfers. Facilities were clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the lovely view of the seas from the couch.

South AfricaExcellent fishing spot. Remember it is a bathing spot so you got to walk a bit before you can get a spot to fish. Weather was not on my side. I nevertheless enjoyed myself.

South AfricaPity about the noise of the generator during the intermittent power outages at night. There was an emergency light provided in the unit, but would have been nice to have a couple of candles as an option as well. and maybe a small gas cooker to at least boil water ?
Most amazing view and direct access to the beach. Even though the surrounding area was struggling without municipal water, we had no problems as there was ample water on site with the Jojo tanks. 👏🏻 Being able to watch the most amazing sunrises from our doorstep, was a genuine treat. The clean beaches, lifeguards on duty, being able to watch the local surfers 🏄♂️ Fishing 🎣 Safe enough to walk along the beach for miles . our unit was aptly named Paradise!

South AfricaThe appliances need some TLC, and I don't think it's from lack of Maintenace its the sea air, stove only has two working plates and microwave overheats and then cuts off. The Place is advertised as having a private garden / deck and beach access however all guests seem to use the path through the lookout to access the beach, which is a bit frustrating. If you don't like dogs, don't book, every chalet other than ours had dogs. Plan ahead for food, the closest shops are in Hibberdene and quality is questionable.
The Place is well kept, and Eric was very accommodating, we had a wheelchair user with us and within minutes Eric had made a ramp with a piece of wood and bricks and it was sorted. the unit was clean, had everything we needed. Beautiful views and even with loadshedding, rechargeable lights are provided. Was a wonderful stay. Aircon in Main room wasn't working, aircon tech was there within hours and problem was sorted. Easy Access to beach, with Tidal pool. Beach was quiet and had lifeguards. Close and central to Wildcoast and other south Coast attractions, felt safe and secure.

South Africa5 stars for hospitality and location… Rare to find hosts that are so genuinely sincere in wanting to accommodate your every need and to make your stay as grand as possible. Location is as spectacular as they come, especially if you are looking to spend most of your time on the the beach due to proximity, great waters and the little details that your unit has when you get back. Kitchens and bathrooms also a plus! Onsite staff as well super helpful and polite. My kids didn’t want to leave. Will be back plenty more times.
