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 AfricaNo complaints 10 out 10
The place is really like what you see in the photos. It's clean, comfortable everything you need is at Big Fish Cottage. You don't need to take anything with they supply the towels, bedding, all your cookware is there. Dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier. It definitely accomodates 10 people. Thank you Jan for being an amazing host. I would also like to thank Thando for driving all the way to us when we needed help locating the grill. Everything about Big Fish Cottage was exceptional we really had an amazing holiday pity it was so short. My overseas family were really impressed they said it felt like they never left home. Thank you Jan.

South AfricaA pool would have made this a perfect holiday home.
The peace and tranquility of nature. The distance of walking to the beach and the convenience of having stores close by was a bonus. House was well equipped and clean. It felt like a home away from home.

South AfricaIt was a pity that the garden is so overgrown which puts one off from venturing down into it and the bushes block any view that could be had from the lounge patio. The house would also benefit by adding basins upstairs. Lack of water in these areas made the stay for those upstairs a bit awkward.
Our family of 10 fitted very comfortably in this cottage. It was clean and homely with comfy beds and furniture. We loved the sea view from the top patio and we especially loved the aircon in the lounge downstairs. I'm sure we'll be back.

South AfricaAlthough there are some floor standing aircon thingys upstairs there is a desperate need for an aircon like the one downstairs. Shading on the upper deck
Firstly I loved the aircon that keeps the whole bottom part of the house absolutely cool. The sofas and beds are very very comfy. Host is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The house is very close to some beautiful beaches. Jan is very helpful and friendly. We knew everything we needed to know upfront and he was also so proactive when the water was off and we had to swith to the Jojo tanks. It's great that we were not affected by the water cut. There are 2 huge Jojo tanks. Ample for 10 people.

South AfricaI was absolutely amazing and perfect, exceeded my expectations.
The host is caring,checked on us as needed .He paid attention to detail to our needs and we felt homely . This place is spacious and comfortable. There is Everything that you need , makes being on holiday worth the savings for vacation ;we left refreshed and refueled. It's close to the beach and shopping centre. The place is refreshing ,has lots of trees and there is a beautiful area for braai(barbecue) ,its has a beautiful awning so we sat outside, had a braai in the rain,the smell of fresh rain left us wholesome. I love the sea and it's a walking distance. From the patio you can get the Seaview and it's at the top of the hill ,morning breeze is amazing. I was impressed from the start till our departure..I would love to come back whenever I am in Port Edward.....

South AfricaBedrooms are really cold at night. Also there is no soundproofing between the 2 floors so everybody inside can hear you lol. Also maybe look at installing armed response, this is SA after all.
Really well kept and tidy, and a short drive from the best that Port Edward has to offer. Take binoculars and you might be lucky enough to spot whales from the deck as we were.
