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.).

South AfricaFrom the moment we arrived, this guesthouse in Ramsgate was simply stunning. While the view was lovely, what truly sets this place apart is the extraordinary attention to detail, which elevates the entire experience far beyond a typical stay and into a class of its own. Everywhere you look, there's a thoughtful touch waiting to be discovered. The welcome was complete with cappuccinos and a generous supply of rusks, making us feel instantly at home. In the lounge, we found soft, rolled-up lap blankets—a small detail that speaks volumes about the care provided. Our towels were adorned with a fresh flower. It's these little thoughtful amenities that truly made our trip unforgettable its like staying at a five-star hotel, but with the personal warmth and charm of a private home. The service was incredibly friendly, the shower pressure was excellent, and the little notes placed around the guesthouse added a personal touch that made everything feel effortless. This is more than just a place to stay; it's an immersive experience in hospitality. We were super impressed and can't recommend it highly enough.

South Africa"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ramsgate Ocean View, and I was absolutely delighted! Toni and her family were welcoming and went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. The rooms were immaculately clean, cozy, and perfectly equipped with all the essentials. The amenities were fantastic, and the location was ideal. I felt right at home and can't wait to return! Highly recommend for anyone seeking a tranquil retreat or a comfortable base for exploring.

South AfricaThings we liked: The sea view from all the rooms. The location in Ramsgate is perfect. The hygiene and cleanliness. The friendly hosts and their hospitality. The small extras like hand cream, rusks, milk, fresh cold water etc. The unit had all the necessary appliances/utensils needed for a self-catering unit, and more. The bed and couches were very cumfy. The solar panels/ invertors provide electricity even if there are loadshedding. The tap water is filtered. The unit is kept up to date with new linen, bedding, seat covers, towels etc. The unit has Netflix. The Braai area is cozy and close to the unit.

South AfricaMarvelous service and the owner is always available when you need help.
A very peaceful location. They offered everything. Cooking things like salts, peppers and oils were there. Tea things (best coffee, rusks, sugar, etc) were there as well. Oh not forgetting wifi👌. Only sleeper couches were not comfortable, as we know. But everything was perfect. Clear sea view and fresh air.

South AfricaThat we couldn't stay longer! 😂
I would highly recommend Ramsgate Ocean View! Toni is a fabulous host, making sure we were comfortable with everything we needed 🌞 The holiday flat has an unbeatable view of the ocean (where we saw some whales splashing about). It's equipped with a kitchenette with a gas stove (loadshedding friendly) for self-catering and a comfortable lounge that's perfect to sit in with your morning tea that over looks the ocean 🌊 We loved that it's in a safe neighbourhood within walking distance to a great beach. It's also conveniently located to many shops and restaurants, including The Waffle House. Overall, this stay is great value for money and definitely worth you stopping by! 🤩
