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):
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.
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.).

South AfricaWe've thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. The beds were very comfortable!! The sea view is idyllic to wake up to. The security staff are always friendly. Dalene had gone out of her way to welcome us with treats. She's ensured that we've had a change of linen and a clean apartment halfway in our stay. It was truly much appreciated!

South AfricaIt was really hot an aircon would have been nice, the fans helped alot though.
Apartment was very clean, neat and had an amazing view. We enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. We had everything we needed in the kitchen which was really appreciated as most self catering units don't provide dish washing liquid and cleaning supplies, so that was a bonus. Our host was also very helpful.

South AfricaWhat’s there not to like 🤣
This property is well located with private access to the beach. The pool area and kids jungle gym is perfectly central located to our room we could walk up to room and back to pool to get our refreshments with ease. The room is sooo clean, airy, all sell catering equipment is provided. There’s even backup lights in case of load shedding there’s nothing I wanted and weren’t already available in the drawers or cupboards. The host is communicates effortlessly. A real value for money. I will definitely be returning soon for a friends trip now 🥳

South AfricaThere was nothing we did not like but would have loved a washing machine in the apartment to keep up with the laundry as my husband and son went fishing everyday.
From the second you open the door to the apartment you are welcomed with the most incredible sea view with whales as the entertainment. The apartment itself was everything you need for a comfortable stay. The best part is the view from the main bedroom. The morning sunrises from the main bed were breathtaking and the best way to start your day. Just a short drive to all the main attractions within the surrounding areas. Thank you to the property manager for all the necessary information for check in etc and your immediate response to any inquiries. 8 Eden Palms is a hidden gem and worth absolutely every cent!! We will only be booking here in the future.

South AfricaThe parking for the unit was not clearly marked but we got quick assistance.
The overall experience was exceptional. From the management of the keys, entering the neat and well manicured rooms. The apartment was comfortable in every way. You won't miss anything, everything is catered for. Overlooking the beach and the bright sunshine made my family mornings so special. All the pictures are exactly what one can expect, there's so much serenity. Another cozy feature is that there's secure access to a private beach area. I had a wonderful experience and will highly recommend this place to anyone. Management gives themselves time to check and ensure that you're set with everything, the best so far.

South AfricaThe unit was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Beautiful sea view from the kitchen, tv room and the main bedroom. We saw whales and dolphins from our bedroom and the sound of the ocean in the background was super relaxing. The swimming pool and braai facilities were clean and the complex in general was very well maintained. Excellent security at the complex. The private beach area was super clean and it was amazing to do some beach walks in the morning and afternoons. I will definitely be back again.

South AfricaThere was a few downfalls, given the hot weather they was no Aircons and just standing fans which did little to nothing during the hot weather. This also brought in alot of bugs and bug bites, including the Bed we slept on, which I strongly suggest should be deep cleaned for bed bugs. Note the Balcony has the greatest view and someday good wind, but there is alot of bird poop all over the balcony so do not dry stuff out on the balacony not to sure if they maybe bird lice .There is not enough plug points and what was really disappointed by was no plug points by the mirrors .Its advisable to please carry an extension especially to use in the smaller room, since the fan cord was too short. Please also carry alot of bugs spray there's was always an Insect bite all during the time of the stay. Keep the balcony sliding door , main doors and all window closed since monkeys enter in anytime. Even having to open the bathroom window for ventilation brought a monkey in . Carry a light or have your torch on when leaving and entering premises in the dark there is no light by the stairs and passage , the lights are dependent on people staying to switch it on from the inside which is not practical.. These where just some tips for the next person's stay .
This is a lovely accommodation with the greatest view of the ocean. The place was neat and tidy. It was a super warm welcoming with complimentary chocolate ,coffee and a snack. The cutlery. utensils and kitchen equipment works well. please remember to switch the button inside the fridge for temperature control.The bathroom and the master room is spacious . plenty of draws . The pool on premises was amazing plenty shelter and a little baby pool for those who can't swim and the Beach so neat and tidy . The weather was made for days by the pool and Beach and for me that was perfect.
