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...).

South AfricaFor me, it was just great!
It was everything my dearest wife and I could wish for, the quiet atmosphere, with only the sound of the ocean and the birds, meters away from the river and the beach. We were walking along the beach to dine at the main beach, and walking back again in the evening was awesome, and we felt safe. It was special and we will do it again! Many thanks to our great hosts who shared their paradise with us!

United Arab EmiratesEverything was great; we couldn't have asked for more.
This is a fantastic place to stay and we are extremely grateful to Jacky and Guy for all their hospitality. The facilities were wonderful and beautifully situated just by the beach and at the river mouth, which was really quiet and peaceful. Four of us were easily accommodated in the twin bedroom and living room. A late check-out was no problem at all and Jacky was full of information with regard the local area, things to do and see. We were delighted with this property and cannot recommend it highly enough. Just one small tip: it is right at the end of a narrow lane and not all obvious ie not signs (that we noticed) from the main road; at least one offline maps app did have show it. So make sure you have an exact location (although the property is correctly marked on at least some online maps such as Google).

South AfricaOn arrival, the driveway between the main access control point and the house gate was overgrown with dry twiggs scratching the car. Reported to the host. Thankfully, returning the next afternoon the bush had been trimmed. I think it's something to keep an eye on as there is no simpler way of reversing it when the car is already scratched.
Though I felt pressured about the latest check-in time being 5pm, the host was accommodating. She was warm and welcoming. The home was clean, comfortable with beautiful beach views.

Location - private yet safe. About 50m from a private beach. Host - Jackie was accommodating us with our requests regarding our visit. Safety - Always somebody around, can also see your vehicle from the apartment. Unt - Had everything we needed, modern and tasteful.

South AfricaAn incredible property run by even more incredible hosts. The house is nestled away on a gorgeous property with direct access onto the beach, and a gorgeous lookout point with a table to have drinks or dinner at. The main beach is lovely to swim at and can be reached by walking. A truly wonderful place to spend some time away.
