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 AfricaAn excellent location with beautiful scenery, a magnificent stretch of beach and an array of birdlife. We enjoyed every second. The tent had many meaningful touches and was extremely comfortable and well-equipped. Rashid welcomed us and was an absolute ray of sunshine. Will we be back? Oh yes for sure!

South AfricaThe shower was a bit if a challenge as the water pressure dropped so the gas geysery turned off a few times per shower and could of done with some tongs to braai with. But these were small things, well worth it.
Location is beautiful, staff were accommodating and friendly! Will defiantly recommend and be back soon!

South AfricaNothing - everything was as expected & more.
A very special place to find some peace and quiet. We took a long walk along the beautiful, clean beach. The fire'pit' was great and although it was overcast and a little windy, it is well protected. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting by the fire & having a glass or two. The tent (Middle Fork) has everything you need. The warm shower & very comfortable bed meant we got a very good night's rest. Rashid was great and assist deflating the car's tyres & inflating again on our way out. We added this spot to our favourites list & will certainly be back. The only thing - next time it will be for a longer stay.

South AfricaThe hot water in the shower - difficult to pace - but the fact that one could have a lovely hot shower made up for the little bit of discomfort to get the water balance 100%
Loved the location - nothing and no one around to disturb ones peace and tranquility. The surroundings are beautiful, the beach is spectacular - goes on for miles with absolutely no human disruption. This is the place to recharge your soul.

South AfricaThere could be more than one chopping knife that's sharp to prep food with. There was only one. Would be advisable to let people know they'll b travelling about 28km on a dirt road. Not everyone wants to drive their little car on these roads. Also a sign or call button at gate, as there is no mobile reception and therefor guests wait outside gate up to an hour with the owners of venue not knowing you are there and no means to make contact. Some sign posting pointing you in correct direction to reception at gate of entry would also help. Its like arriving at dead man's door not knowing what to do or where to go. Bit frustrating after a 7hour drive.

South AfricaThe only one, very slight disappointment, was that from the photos we thought the tents were overlooking the sea, when, in fact there is a dune between the tents and the sea. However, in hindsight, I think it's actually a blessing because the wind off the sea becomes icy cold at night, and the dune provides nice protection.
The tent was a lot nicer than I expected, with a proper bathroom, little kitchen, and barbecue area in the back. The geyser provided proper hot water in sufficient quantities for a good shower. The place is on solar power, so Load shedding, which is an issue in South Africa, did not affect us. There was very little cell phone signal, which gave me a great excuse to be off-line. This instantly has become one of my favourite holiday spots ever. The beach stretches endlessly in both directions, and in our whole time there we saw one other person.
