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.).

SloveniaIt was an absolute delight. Monique was exceptionally helpful and friendly, and the accommodation was spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed, with an exceptional lounge area. An additional plus are the two beautiful owls who regularly visit the hotel and look over your stay!

PortugalNot having more time to enjoy the hotel and the area. Nothing negative to comment.
We loved our stay so much, that we decide to cancel our next hotel - losing the money - and adding an extra night at Chateau de Marine. The location is amazing: if you like the outdoors, there is plenty to do around, or just relax and enjoy the ocean. The hotel facilities and rooms are very comfortable, and the family room is amazing. The difficult part is to drag your kids out of the room: bunkbeds, toys, Nintendo. The staff is amazing, helpful and extremely welcoming. The breakfast is simple (not basic), tasty and with just the right variety.

NetherlandsIf you are traveling to Struisbaai, and I don't see why you would not, the Chateau de Marine hotel is a perfect place to stay. The staff will do everything to make you feel the most comfortable you can ever be. The breakfast is delicious, the service very personal and sweet. The general manager is a fantastic woman, and she will make you feel at home in a heartbeat. The rooms are spacious and clean. We will be back!

United StatesThe only negative is that I requested a massage upon arrival. I was on a road trip and stoped for shark cage diving so I had no idea what time I would arrive. When was finished and had a better idea of arrival time, I sent them a message that I would be there in about an hour. I received a response thanking me for letting them know. When I arrive at 15:30. The masseuse had just left for the day. That was disappointing. Aside from that everything was wonderful here.
The location is amazing!!! The facilities are safe and assuming externally although wonderful once you are inside.

South AfricaA wonderful option for a weekend away in Struisbaai. The room is comfortable and having the option to spend time in the lounge area or at the pool adds to the experience. Monique is an excellent and most attentive host. She suggested a restaurant and helped to book a table and was always available and friendly.
