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.).

United KingdomJust a pity that you can’t see more of the amazing beach from the property but this is a conservation area after all and nature is nature. This did not affect our stay in anyway and would still thoroughly recommend Atlantic Dream and hope to come and stay there again.
We were a large family group and we found that everyone could be together or have their own space. The positives are too numerous to mention but here are a few spaciousness of property, pool, games room, parking, sun deck was fabulous, staff so helpful, the garden and the birds which were regular visitors and Scarborough itself an absolute delight. We have had an amazing time at Atlantic Dream and we were so sad to leave South Africa but hopefully we will be back again in the not too distant future. You will not be disappointed with this property.

South AfricaCan't think of anything.
The location is incredibly hard to beat, right on the beachfront with an easy walk over the dunes to the ocean. The house is large enough to accommodate our medium sized group (8 adults) easily, without us getting in each others' ways, but the communal areas are great for group meals and connecting. We will certainly return.

United KingdomNo Wifi ! No washing machine. .We weren't allowed to use the washing machine that was there .. We felt too uneasy to turn the TV on as we were made aware of an imposed fine if we messed the channels up. . Some of the mattresses were uncomfortable .
The location was incredible. The house was spacious and airy. The games room was lots of fun . Nice pool . Lots of showers and toilets .

South AfricaOnly minor things (e.g. would benefit from having a gas hob instead of electric, as well as more lights converted to loadshedding compatible bulbs).
Place was bigger than expected, and extremely well kitted out. Pool was clean and just big enough. Lovely outside area, perfect for braaing and swimming. 2 mins walk to the beach, making location perfect. Definately would go again.

South AfricaThe steep steps was not very comfortable for the over 60s. The fact that the steps are open in between was not very safe for small dogs like my pomeranians.
The fact that the place was pet friendly, had a pool table and a swimming pool.

South AfricaI wished that the games room was closer to the pool and the bigger kitchen downstairs. Bathrooms require a deep clean ( tiles and toilets). We reported a few things that required fixing, this should have been done before arrival of guests. General maintenance and inspection of the property should be done continuously to avoid guests reporting issues.
Location, proximity to the beach, spaciousness of rooms, each room had access to it's own bathroom. Caretaker Salie was accommodating and responsive.

South AfricaThe property needs a fair amount of maintenance including things like the main bathroom sink & shower not draining properly, plugs in the kitchen sink & dishwasher not working. Main bathroom door rail needs fixing. WiFi is OK but obviously does not work during loadshedding & cell phone access is almost non existent during load shedding.
The location is incredible, you are literally separated from the beach by a dune. And the gorgeous village hub is within easy walking distance. This is a big home that will accommodate an extended family. The games room was lovely for our young adult children.

South AfricaThe only downside about staying at this property is the fact that there are no surrounding shops for basic groceries. If you do stay here please make sure you buy enough of everything because shops are at least a 20min drive lol
I really loved the facilities, The pool and games room really made our stay extra special, and the fact that everyone had their own bathroom was a bonus. The house is really stunning and the view makes it even better! The hosts were also really accommodating to our needs
