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...).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

South AfricaThe private beach is only accessible with a 4x4, so unfortunately we didn't get to experience it.
The house was beautiful, peaceful, large and very comfortable with everything you would expect to have in your own home. More than enough space for everyone to do what they'd like to on a restful weekend away.

South AfricaSadly, the photograph of the kitchen showed a Nespresso machine which was not in the kitchen. Had I known, I would have brought my own, as good coffee is a must for me. Our shower played up the first day which was also not great.
If you want to get away from it all, and be in the middle of nowhere, this is the ideal spot. The house offers all the comforts one needs for a truly peaceful break. The kitchen is well equipped and lacks for nothing in terms of appliances. The property is completely off grid but yet has every luxury one is used to. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house has a lot of space! Expect to drive down a very long sand road to get there. Mathew was most helpful, and our braai was cleaned daily.

South AfricaThe house can accommodate a large group, and has a large living /kitchen area, with plenty of crockery, glasses, etc. The kitchen has all new appliances, which were a real treat to use. There was a lovely indoor fireplace. The beds and bedding were very comfortable!! Thank you Kyle and Matthew. We had a great stay at Casa.

South AfricaAt first we were worried about the stretch of sand road we had to travel from the road to the house but we soon realized that it was actually okay and our kids managed fine in their smaller vehicles too.
The home was lovely and well equipped for a large family gathering. The beds were comfortable and linen great quality. Our hosts Kyle and Matthew, were outstanding in making sure that there was nothing missing - Kyle took us on a very interesting hike in the reserve and Matthew kept our facilities pristine! We loved the resident dog Benson too!

South Africa"Private beach" only accessible in a 4X4 vehicle or very long walk on sandy road (+/-12 kms return trip). Beach is absolutely spectacular but definitely not easy to get to, which should be made clearer when booking
Well appointed self catering bungalow with good quality kitchen equipment/beds/linen, etc. Groundsman (Mathews) helpful & friendly and dog Benson got on fine with our pup.

South AfricaWhile the on-site location is beautiful, it must be noted that the journey on the sandy dirt road after turning off the Gansbaai road is a distance. Wouldn't recommend venturing to Casa d'Italo in your grans Hyundai i10 unless you have a Land Rover in your convoy.
Casa d'Italo stands out as a gem for travelers seeking a blend of comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. From the moment you step in, the impeccable cleanliness of the venue strikes you, reflecting the hosts' dedication to ensuring a hygienic and welcoming environment. The space is generously sized, offering ample room for relaxation and storage, making it an ideal choice for both short stays and extended vacations.

South AfricaIt’s still in the process of a few alterations but what has been done is lovely.
If the purpose is to be in a quiet spot with no one around then it’s perfect. The stars are bright. It’s great for a few couples. It also has everything one needs.

South AfricaUnfortunately, the noisy neighbours in the main house spoiled the tranquility and kept us awake until the early morning hours. I would also like to recommend offering a fan for the bedrooms as you cannot open windows at night due to all kinds of bugs that came inside.
Great location away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Beautiful place for nature lovers. Mathews, the grounds man and Benson, the Ridgeback are both very friendly. We enjoyed the braai, starry nights, and some old school board games.

South AfricaThe sand road was a little unpleasant especially because we had a VW golf which was a little low but its not the end of the world. The showers took a really long time to get warm and some didn't get warm at all.
The location was excellent, beautiful. The beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The boardgames we a nice touch and we really enjoyed the ping pong table.

South AfricaIt should be make a little clearer in the advertising that the one room is more a loft like so not so private That is perfect for families but we were travelling as a group of hiking friends. The other comforts made up for it though.
Fantastic, comfortable house for 10 people. Loved the big dining room table to all be able to eat together. The kitchen was outstanding. So well quipped. The beds, linen, fluffy blankets , towels were top quality. Matthew’s was on-site if there were any queries or needs and host Reinette was very attentive on WhatsApp.
