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.).

Room was comfortable but rather small to put our suitcases.
Our host Ben was wonderful, he gave us all the great tips how to organize our three days at Plettenberg. Highlight was clearly our hike on the Robberg (stunning views) and the day in the Tsitsikamma NP. Breakfast was great with eggs made to order, very nice individual fruits platter. The location versus the only beach (at the laguna) where one can swim (no waves).

- • Family with young children
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
We cannot say anything was not to our satisfaction - i believe that would be nit picking.
Thanda Vista really does surprise! From the ease of access off the N2 to its subusban locality, one short block from the lagoon and the well appointed interiors it is a delight. Our hos Ben Moolman was a hive of information, charming and thoroughly welcoming making us fee at home immediately. Comfortable rooms and bathrooms were more than adequate so our three night stay was a pleasure. The breakfast included in the rate was served in an elegant first floor room with large windows bringing the view of the lagoon right into the room. And as for the breakfast itself - well we were pleasantly surprised at the variety of what was on offer. Set out for instant access are the coffee, tea and juice choices with full Continental breakfast items - muffins, toast, cheeses , cold meats - all available for self service. The tables are set with individual fruit platters with plentifu variety and Ben will take orders for full hot breakfasts which is promptly served. Breakfast here is a delicious must and is a solid energy start to energetic exploring days of the area. A top star rated bed and breakfast facility in this popular sea side resort.

The room was a bit on the small side (even though it had a spacious bathroom). We had 2 single beds pushed together instead of a double bed.
Excellent location for exploring the area. Very good hosts Ben and his dog Aero. Maggie made us the best breakfast while we were on the Garden Route. Ben made good suggestions for dining out and places to visit. The property felt safe and had convenient parking. It was quiet but don't think there were any other guests that night. Had a back-up system to deal with load shedding. Good-size bathroom with nice shower.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.
Thanda Vista is exceptional. The rooms are spacious, light, beautifully decorated and spotless. They have everything you'd need with attention to detail. We were travelling as a family, so had three rooms. Breakfast was superb, with views over the lagoon and sea and caters to everyone's preference with added extras. Ben is a gracious and generous host, who makes you feel at home instantly. By the time we left, we felt like good friends. The staff are friendly and completely trustworthy. My husband had by mistake dropped money into the trash bin in our room when throwing something away and they handed it back to us! The location is excellent... a quiet neighbourhood, but within walking distance to the shops and the beach. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Huge thanks to Ben and staff for an outstanding stay. We will definitely be back.
