How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe view. The house was comfortable.
Soonest I entered the house, there was a bad odor. Could have been the carpet on the staircase.

Verified reviewThe location was exceptional. Loved the views of the ocean and the sunrises. Property felt safe and secure. I liked being on the upper floor above the garage. The host was responsive and accommodating with any needs. The place was comfortably furnished and had everything I needed for my stay. I enjoyed a nice soaking bath in the bathtub, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent! The braii on the balcony was a fun new experience for this American! I’m very grateful for an overall pleasant experience at Sombedu Guest Suite!
One of the outlets in the front bedroom didn’t work, but the host provided an extension cord so I could get access to power in that room. I chose not to use the clothes washer due to a mildew smell. This is normal for front load washers, but I would recommend seeing about getting the washer drum cleaned if possible. The bed was a bit firm for my taste. Would suggest a memory foam mattress topper if possible.
Thank you so much, Sarah, for the feedback. It was a pleasure hosting you. We will indeed also take note of the recommendations as well. All well received and greatly appreciated. Be Blessed.

Everything was excellent.

Verified review😊🥰 It was clean, has everything you need - Braai stand, dishes, pots and appliances.With plugs and adapters to charge - you don't have to carry it. Its in a very quiet street...With a nice view of the beach....You'll hear the birds chirping in the morning - So peaceful. I would've been nice if they also had a swimming pool, but either way - it was awesome.

Verified reviewStayed here with my family for a few days and we felt really welcome. The host was very accommodating and helpful, even suggesting options for places we could find food due to our late night check-in. The unit was well equipped with what we needed and felt like a home away from home.
Thank you Menzi for a great feedback. It was a pleasure hosting you and your loved ones.
