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.).

United Arab EmiratesI stayed for 4 days. For two days the water was very cold and there was no hot water in the bathrooms.
The location is very beautiful and close to all services. The villa is spacious and comfortable for spending a pleasant time with the family and going down to the beach.

South AfricaWe had such a wonderful, relaxing winter break at Brenton Haven. The location is amazing, right on the beach, easy access to everything Garden Route has to offer. The units are well designed and comfortable, full kitchen facilities, nice patio with braai facilities and great showers with plenty hot water to warm up after a day spent outdoors. The staff was absolutely the best, so friendly and courteous with smiles and greetings all around, really made the whole place feel warm and welcoming even in the middle of the winter. The cleaning staff deserves an extra mention as they kept our unit spotless every day, such a treat on a holiday. Restaurant had fantastic food and service, the whole place gives a feel of a well managed and happy holiday resort, very impressed, highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Saudi ArabiaI came almost at 2 pm just 1 hour before (check-in time is 3 pm). They charged me extra for early check-in!! The cost was not that much, but it's all about the concept of charging people for a silly thing !! This will give you a bad impression to start your stay with !! Also, the windows are not soundproof. You can hear the noise from the restaurant early in the morning.
Great property located in an extraordinary spot , with outstanding panoramic ocean views , just next to Brenton sandy beach. The 2-bedroom suite is spacious, cozy, and smartly designed in a way that all rooms have veiw on the ocean. Well equipped kitchen. Free car parking. Nice front garden. It's perfect sopt for relaxation and yet it's not very far from touristic places. 20 min driving to Knysna and almost 45 min to Plattenberg to the east and the same duration to the west to Wilderness. There is a nice grocery store nearby. I'd like to thank Ms. Nosiphiwo from housekeeping for being very kind and professional. Every day I come back to the suite, I find her nice touches. She embodies the kindness and hospitality.
