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 AfricaThe only challenge was the steps to the unit and the steep walk into the resort if you don’t have a car – but I took it as a great way to get those steps in and shed a few kilos! Overall, a beautiful and comfortable stay that I’d definitely recommend.
I had such a wonderful stay at Ocean Gem. The apartment was beautifully set up with a cute and thoughtful design that made it feel so welcoming. The beds were extremely comfortable, which made resting after a long day a real pleasure. What I loved most were the breathtaking sea views and how convenient the location was – so close to shops, which made everything so easy. Our host, Sheena, was amazing! She was hands-on and even shared great guides that really enhanced our stay and helped us explore the area with ease. Overall, a perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and beauty. I’d definitely recommend Ocean Gem to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! 🌊✨

South AfricaEverything was excellent except we didn't think we would have to carry our luggage upstairs. Maybe they warned us about no lift, and I never saw it, but for 80 year olds it is not ideal.

South AfricaThe bathroom basin is too small and cracked- the shower drain had a cover missing and the shower tap falls off. I thought it was a two bathroom- took it for the bath tub- for my daughter to use - and the second bathroom which wasn’t there. At any rate we each used the shower and nobody died. Thank you!
The location- Sheena’s videos were extremely helpful. I really liked that you have a mop broom and domestos and liquid hand soaps. Beach towels and bath towels also appreciated.

South AfricaThe communication from the host ahead of arrival was great - she sent brilliant instructions on how to get into the unit. Arriving at the unit was very easy and the keys were in a lockbox, which was perfect for arriving later in the evening. The unit itself is gorgeous with a fantastic view, and the bed was very comfortable. Lots of nice places to eat nearby. Would definitely stay there again.

South AfricaOnly comment is that the light switches were a bit confusing on how they work and connected with other outlet plugs.
I didn't have breakfast, so cant comment on that. The reat was good. On arrival electricity was off in the area. But everything else was really nice.

South AfricaCould be more modern
Very nice and peaceful with an awesome ocean view, easy access to the ocean and shops around everything is walking distance from where you staying. The host is awesome and gives such good videos and information on the place so you don’t have to even ask any questions as it’s all be answered in the videos. The area is so safe and peaceful with everyone walking there dogs and running and walking along to beach. Also Seattle coffee 2 minute walk which was great. Overall would recommend to anyone to stay here well worth it the money and experience

South AfricaCarrying luggage to the 4th floor was a toughee. Bad timing visit to the noise from the construction underneath. It's not the owners problem, though. Monkeys roaming the place. We were warned, though. You can not freely enjoy the breeze from your open door or window.
The awesome welcome from Sheena with all the guide operators' videos. The house is perfectly equipped with a coffee machine + coffee and teas with milk. Aircons and fans, etc. It's just a home away from home 🏡.
