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 AfricaCockroaches. Curtains are blackish with mould. Ceilings have mould. Ceiling fans are dirty and dusty. Stuffy smell. Sofa covers needs a good wash. There was no washing machine. Shower too tiny. Shower door can be dangerous if hit on the toilet. Braai area to far out to go braai down due to bad weather. Should be allowed to braai on the balcony.
The sea view. Space was ok. Walking distance to all amendments. Peaceful and quite. View of other chalets. Outside well maintained.

South AfricaThe listing states NO SMOKING; the signage around the building stated NO SMOKING as does the message in the unit. Yet, the entrance hall/reception area stank of dirty ash and ashtrays; the corridor outside our unit reeked of cigarette smoke and at one point someone connected to the block of flats had to enter our unit and they had been smoking. It left a bitter taste as the non-smoking policy had been a deal-breaker for me. One suggestion - please upgrade the can opener in the unit as it is outdated and does not work.
The flat was clean and well equipped. It was welcoming and well-proportioned for two people. The view over the Indian Ocean could not be beaten. Accessibility to shops and Margate/Ramsgate and related facilities was simple even though the municipality is working on the roads and there are stop-go sections with which to contend.

South AfricaThe coackroches in the apartment were a deal breaker. It was like doom was sprayed during the day it made it impossible for me to sleep the first night was coughing and wheezing. And the neighbors who were smoking now and then, the smoke getting in made it impossible for me to enjoy my stay. We didn't have water for two days I couldn't find any water stored for such had to improvise to leave the place clean. It made it uncomfortable for me since it was that time of the month.
Perfect location towards the sea, a walking distance to the shops. My kids enjoyed the Netflix package and free Wi-Fi. I enjoyed the view at night from the sea
