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.).

Australiareally glad I upsized to a bigger 2 bedroom room, as they were still quite small/tight space wise. There were a lot of noisy reno works going on while we were there which we didn't know about. Too small a space to get around bed, I caught my leg on the bed edge several times and getting through the doorways was tight and I'm not a big or clumsy person! Weather was good - the pool was freezing!! No tourist desk to help with where to go.
great views and room had all the amenities you needed. Very helpful staff.

South AfricaParking, parking parking. The parking spots are designed for tiny cars especially when negotiating a route to the top under roof area. I experienced damage to the side of my vehicle. The cost is multiple times of my stay. 👎
Food options and quality of service was excellent in all restaurants and at the pool. Welldone, maintain that good service and prize your friendly and very competent staff.

South AfricaThe resort is no longer white in colour. It was recently painted grey which, for me, takes away from the luxury, beach resort vibe. Pictures have not been updated. Was not impressed with service from the front desk.
Great location, right on the beach which has a lovely promenade. Fantastic views. Spacious, well equipped rooms. Many resturants to choose from. Daily servicing of rooms. Activities for kids and adults. Short 20min drive from King Shaka airport. 45mins to Durban.

South AfricaIt would be nice if the pools could be warmer, it is very cold. The bedding had a few stains on and that made us feel a little bit uncomfortable, especially because it’s white bedding. The hotel spa and facilities does look overused, would be nice if it could get a new face lift. Parking was a problem. It would be nice if the breakfast menu had more option on or if it could even be a buffet breakfast.
The location is perfect, I like the fact that they busy with renovations and actually making the place look stunning. The pool area is very nice and the staff is also very friendly.

South AfricaStaff really need to be better skilled at dealing with customers, queries and response times . Items on menus were not available, including rooibos tea for all 4 days that we were there! Need to handle service better when big groups arrive without compromising other guest experiences. Reception staff very slow, not knowledgeable, unable to problem solve. Few were great.
Everything is great. A wonderful resort. Great layout and lovely accommodation, views, walks and activities
