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.

South AfricaParking was a bit tricky mainly due to the size of the vehicles and having multiple vehicles. Housekeeping a bit pricey
The location of the unit, the nature surrounding it and the proximity to the beach. The size of the unit was perfect for 8 people and well equipped. Strong wifi and a tv in every room.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The place is spacious, peaceful, and offers great value for money. It’s just a short walk to a stunning beach where we even saw dolphins close by in the morning—truly magical! The estate itself is lovely, fully self-catering, with the option to hire a cleaner for an additional charge. The hosts were exceptional, managing everything smoothly online despite being out of the country. There’s so much to do in the area! Although we visited Southbroom beaches to try something new, you won't even need to leave the estate’s beach—it’s that good. We were there during the sardine run, so swimming was temporarily restricted, but the experience was still incredible. The weather was amazing, even in winter. For adventure seekers, don't miss the wild boat river cruises on a nearby beautiful river. You also have access to the Estuary Hotel facilities, which is a fantastic perk. Overall, this was the perfect family vacation in a beautiful estate. Highly recommend it – 10/10!

Property was clean on arrival, we had consistent communication from the staff throughout the weekend. The villa is a short walk away from the beach which was very convenient, lovely view of the lake. We also had games and books to keep busy when we were indoors.

South AfricaNot a biggie but 1 or 2 areas needed a little extra cleaning (fan extractor cover of the main bathroom and outside table on verandah overlooking the Estuary) but this wasnt a deal breaker and didn't take away from our stay.
We loved the safe and comfortable homely setting. The views of the Estuary from the verandah were beautiful and so calming. Not forgetting the birds chirping and ocean in the background. Coffee on the verandah with the sunlight shinning through the trees was such a treat. The house was also well equipped for our needs and was the perfect space for our party of 6 (including 4 children under the age of 12). Multiple living spaces and more than 1 TV meant everyone got to watch what they wanted when we weren't out and that really made our stay exceptional. We also really enjoyed the fact that there were quite a few options to keep our kids entertained in the area. We wish the weather was a little warmer so we could've spent more time on the beach. Administratively: Check-in was easy and the host communication during our say was nice.

South AfricaA little slice of paradise. Absolutely beautiful setting with a view of the estuary from the verandah. The sound of the ocean in the background and a couple of minutes walk to the beach. The house is lovely. Well equipped, very comfortable and it feels very upmarket. The deck area offers a second outside seating area which is completely private and gives the option of being shielded from the breeze when it's a bit cooler. The local shopping centre is a 5 minute drive away as well as well as other amenities also nearby. The hosts communicated well and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. Cannot wait to go back!
