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 AfricaAt some stage, the bed in the room that we were in will need to replaced as the springs in the mattress are not good. The kettle in the kitchenette is leaking. The hot water tap in the kitchenette wasn't working properly. These things did not impact our superb holiday in any way, just noting these minor things.
Cindy was an exceptional hostess. So warm and friendly. The location was beautiful and the house was stunning.

South AfricaHonestly there's nothing not to like 😁 It's a shared villa so best to check with the host if you planning on going there just in case there's other families already booked in....
We liked the friendly and warm welcome by Cindy ... We had the entire Villa to ourselves it was safe and peaceful... it's a pet friendly villa ... the whale watching in the morning is so lovely. It's perfect for a big family....

Cindy's hospitality truly made the experience special, and the accommodation was comfortable and well-maintained.

LesothoOn the website, it looks like the beach is just a few meters away, but it's not in reality
I loved the location and the sea view. It's a real paradise. The sound of the waves at night and the sunrise cannot leave my mind. Cindy was so good to us, checking on us and helping us with places to go to.

South AfricaThe parking is a little difficult due to small space and sharp decline. Due to loadshedding the swimming pool was not quite clean and all electrical appliances (lights, fridges and fans in communal areas) that were switched on, went on and off continuously for the duration of the loadshedding periods. The bathroom and toilet of my upgraded room were not ensuite and I struggled to unlock the gate to the beach area.
The location and ocean views are exceptional. Kaylee was very friendly and upgraded me to a larger room and was also willing to accommodate a special breakfast request. The beach at Trafalgar is nice for swimming and long walks. Safe and secure environment.

Caylee is a darling. It seems she knew in advance what to do when a lamp was broken, the loadsheding nerves some guests. A freshly prepared fruit bowl, warm chocolate muffins was the real or active mercy behind the curtains 😋

South AfricaDidn't realise it was communal. It's a big place. We luckily had it to ourselves 2 out of 3 nights. Will check carefully in future to avoid communal self catering venus. Magazine rack directly behind loo, not a good idea!
