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.).
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.

FranceThe pizza for dinner was not good. Also, we were missing a room key card when leaving and they were so picky about it saying they would charge us. You don’t expect this behavior in a $400/night place.
The place is gorgeous, you can see the sunrise from the bed if you leave the curtain open. We also booked and hot tub (extra money) and watched the sunset from there. It was magical with the zebras and springboks on the property.

AustraliaNot one single thing!
Every single thing! The attention to detail, the design, the hospitality, the views, the amenities, literally everything was exceptional. To top it off there were zebras in the estate too! But in all honesty, it was the nicest hotel / lodge I have ever stayed at. Pichy and Bjorn have honestly thought of it all and it honestly goes to show. The food, the experiences and their communication was 11/10. I would recommend Pure Sea Boutique Lodge to all. I really do hope that I will be back !

United Arab EmiratesIf I had to pick on something, it would be a more extensive wine list. More boutique wines in-line with the brand and experience. (Rather than mass produced)
Everything was amazing! The location, the design, the service, the food and all of the personalised touches and small details that make a big difference. We loved everything.

South AfricaNothing, it is perfect.
This property is very special and unique. This is the place away from the hustle at home where one recharge, relax and find the beauty we have in South Africa. I did not want to leave this Pure Sea Lodge set in fynbos on the beach. We have received a warm welcome from owners Björn and Pichy and staff. Actually they have helped me organised a wonderful anniversary weekend before we have arrived. The rooms are comfortable and attention to interior is immaculate. The food was great, even the cappuccinos made by Nico. We have enjoyed tapas, the hot tub and strolls on the beach.

United KingdomThat we only stayed 2 nights!
Pure Sea is one of, if not the most, special places we have ever stayed. The hospitality provided is second to none, whilst not being intrusive. The property itself is designed immaculately with such great attention to detail. We had a beach picnic and tapas in the hot tub and both experiences were fantastic, set up to the highest standard and the food prepared was presented beautifully (and tasted amazing!).The zebras roaming the property is a real highlight! The owners have clearly put so much effort into creating the property and really strive to give the guests a unique and luxury experience, which they have achieved! Worth every penny…and more! Will recommend anyone visiting SA to visit here on their trip.

South AfricaA little privacy in front of each room would be great. Guests were walking past our room to access the pool area even though there were not supposed to walk that way. A hot tub/plunge pool for each room would be amazing.
Stunning location and views. Absolutely peaceful place to unwind and relax. Hosts and staff are great and really make you feel welcome. Beautiful and modern rooms with really special touches. Love the eco friendly everything. Breakfast is really good. I would definitely stay here again.
