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 AfricaNot a complaint, just a suggestion that the parking should be allocated per unit and the unit number should be painted in the parking bay.
The property had a wonderful view of the river, where the sunsets and sunrises could be viewed in comfort from the verandah. We loved the comfortable beds. Entire unit was very neat and User friendly.

South AfricaCan't really say there is anything I disliked about the property. I did forget to pack soap. Would be great if they had soap or even handwash in the bathroom/and or kitchen. I've also forgotten to pack matches for the braai. Had to drive to the shop for that.
Spacious apartment with a great view. Loved the location overlooking the river. The property is central and close to the few shops in Witsand. The kitchen had everything we need. Spacious living room with DSTV. Also loved the balcony outside.

South AfricaThere is no wifi so keep this in mind if you need wifi. There was building happening next door to us so there was a lot of noise from 7am to 6pm (angle grinding, banging, shouting, etc.) Our reservation was confirmed, but not with reception who had to give us the key. It seems two separate booking platforms are used and reception had not had the unit booked out. Luckily we were able to check in.
The kitchen is well equipped and the views were lovely. The location is also great, right on the river. There is an indoor braai which is lovely when it is a little cold outside.

South AfricaNestled in the heart of Witsand our stay at Luxury Breede Rivier was nothing short of enchanting. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for a memorable retreat. The self-catering accommodation exceeded our expectations in every way. Impeccably clean and tastefully decorated, each room exuded a cozy charm that instantly made us feel at home. The well-equipped kitchen provided us with the freedom to indulge in culinary adventures, while the spacious living area offered the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration. But perhaps the highlight of our stay was the breathtaking natural surroundings. Surrounded by lush greenery and tranquil landscapes, Witsand offered a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether sipping morning coffee on the private balcony or stargazing under the night sky, every moment spent here felt like a blissful retreat into nature's embrace. The attention to detail and thoughtful amenities provided by the hosts further enhanced our experience. From insider tips on local attractions to the seamless check-in process, every aspect of our stay was met with utmost care and consideration. In conclusion, our time was nothing short of magical. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat with loved ones, this hidden gem offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. We can't wait to return and create more unforgettable memories in this tranquil oasis.

South AfricaNothing.
The unit is very big and spacious. I'm sure you can host like 4 couple friends easily here. Location with views of the river are beautiful. Beach is 3min short drive through this small holiday Settlement. Since we arrived a bit late, the staff made a short video for me to find my unit with ease. I truly appreciate their courtesy and going the extra mile.

South AfricaWe didnt like Loadshedding - but who does!! Loadshedding bulbs were provided but no notice to leave them on to charge when power was on - and we were unaware we had to do this so went to bed very early a few nights :)
Beautiful Location - had a lovely view of the river mouth and Infanta on the opposite side of the river. Had a lovely drive to Malgas and went across the Pont. The apartment had everything we needed and bonus having indoor braai as the weather was not pleasant enough to sit outside. I normally judge accommodation by the showers - WOW - amazing!!

United KingdomVery noisy generator when load shedding occurred.
A good sized apartment with great views. Their area is definitely geared towards the sports fishing community, so if that’s not your thing there is not a whole lot more to do. The property was very good and well equipped especially the kitchen.

South AfricaFridge smells. No coffee, sugar, milk. Number on Booking.com is not the reception number. I had to call twice to reach reception. The reception was ordinary, not helpful, assumed I had stayed there before so they over looked explaining basic things.
