How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewSpacious and comfortable house, tastefully and thoughtfully decorated. The host goes the extra mile by providing little extra things to make the house feel like home away from home! Short walk to the Struisbaai beach, in a secure estate/complex. The host kept in touch and kept us updated. Will definitely book again in the future!
Thank you so much Refiloe, very kind of you. Have a wonderful 2025 and we hope to see you again soon!!!!

Verified reviewThe pictures do not do it justice. The estate is well maintained and a short walk from the ocean. The house itself is spacious and so well designed with a fireplace inside and the braai area outside. Ideal for a holiday if lounging around and relaxing. Everything was as advertised. The hostess was superb and communicated everything we needed to know timeously before our stay. Was easy to get help if needed. Definitely a must stay and eager to go again.
Had to think hard and long for anything we didn’t like! If I had to nitpick I’d say the house was a bit damp when we arrived, but it’s definitely to be expected with a house by the ocean and a thatch roof. It was easily remedied by opening the doors and windows for a bit. It was also a bit dusty on the counters when we arrived, but again this is likely due to the thatch roof and heavy winds by the ocean. A quick wipe of the surfaces with a cloth (disposables were provided) and the house was good to go. The house was otherwise pristine.
Thank you so much Justin, very kind of you. You are most welcome to come back anytime. Thanks Sam

Verified reviewPerfect place to spend the Easter weekend with family. My daughter loved the pool and we all enjoyed using the outdoor area. Very well equipped kitchen and comfortable rooms.
Nothing, although oven gloves would be very useful (couldn't find any anywhere)
Thank so much Jemma. I really appreciate your review and will go out to get some oven gloves this week. Great advice, thank you.

Verified reviewThe house had everything we needed and more. Some small things (toilet spray and handwash in all bathrooms, proper coffee machine, a good bbq grill) just add the extra touch that you don’t see everywhere. The communication with the owner was one of the easiest I have experienced in a booking!
Thank you so much Renier. That is very kind of you and greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sam

Verified reviewWOW! What a superb location. The house is very pretty, inside and outside. It is welcoming, comfortable and spacious, and the large space around the pool was a blessing when the wind picked up. It is the ideal holiday house for a family with children - or more than one family staying together. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. A dishwasher on holiday is such a treat :)
There were no hand towels in the bathrooms, and the beds were standard length - not ideal for a super tall family! ;) We felt the bed linen and pillows should've been a better quality (100% cotton) especially in hot weather. A fan in each bedroom would be necessary in the middle of summer - and to chase away the mosquitoes.
Thank you for your review. We will definitely look into some of your great suggestions. Much appreciated and thank you for staying at Seagulls Nest.
