Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The place looked exactly like the pics so we got what we wanted. We took a jog around Gonubie just to explore on foot and it was very beautiful.

I had a family emergency, when we arrived, so we did not visit the area. But the staff is amazing, friendly and filled with the Spirit of the God. They offered support, showed concern and even prayed with me, as my spouse had to hospitalized. Much blessing to Daisy, Stella, Benita and team.

South Africadisappointed by the unexpected charge of R600 for our 18-month-old baby. This was a first for us, as most establishments allow young children to stay for free.
Review for Benri Guesthouse, Gonubie We recently stayed at the Benri Guesthouse in their penthouse, and overall, we had a pleasant experience. The views of the ocean were stunning, and we particularly enjoyed the well-equipped braai room, which made for a fantastic family gathering spot. The daily room service was exceptional, with everything cleaned thoroughly and towels replaced regularly, making our stay comfortable and hassle-free. However, we were disappointed by the unexpected charge of R600 for our 18-month-old baby. This was a first for us, as most establishments allow young children to stay for free. Despite this, we appreciated the overall experience and would like to thank Benri Guesthouse for a memorable stay. Our family truly enjoyed every moment in the penthouse.

South AfricaIn the room we were in - The glass doors means that you can see the people in the next room and vice versa but the work around is to pull your curtains so no big deal.
Beautiful place and well located. The room was spacious and comes with a mini kitchen. Breath taking views of the sea from the balcony. Would definitely recommend.
