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 reviewView and breakfast
There was a very bad noise going on right through the night. It was caused by the wind rattling the rails outside the room. It is apparently a problem remaining after construction. We could hardly sleep. This problem MUST be rectified by the lodge.
Dear Marcel Thank you for staying with us, we appreciate you for taking your time to send an honest review of your stay with us. We take note of your feedback and we acknowledge the noise that happens whenever we have southwest wind blowing directly on the building itself. These are some of the untold pains of being a sea facing building especially during terribly windy winter days but we indeed are looking into ways of reducing the noise caused by the wind. We sincerely apologies for the inconvenience it may have caused to your stay. Kind regards Sea Star Cliff Team

Verified reviewThe views are spectacular. The room beautifully decorated.
The fact that the hair dryer can jot reach a place where there is a mirror. And the hairdryer is a bit small and cut out when it is in use for longer periods, especially if you have long hair. Please look at the coffee machine in room. It makes one cup perfect and the the next cup only fill the cup with a little bit of water. It happened two days in a row.

Verified reviewAmazing ocean view and the breakfast was good..
The toilet lid was kinda yellowish, which tells you that things were not very clean. This place really tries hard to be high end but oh boy, it's not worth more than 100 USD per night (the hike up the prices a lot in summer). The location is pretty bad, there's literally nothing around. My recommendation: don't go to this place and stay somewhere else where it's nicer. There are MANY nicer places around the garden route, and this is not one of them.
Dear Pablo Thank you for staying with us, we appreciate you for taking your time to send an honest review of your stay with us. We take note of your feedback as we draw your constructive criticism so as to rectify our weaknesses. Thank you for the opportunity to also educate you on things to do around as De Kelders is the scenic portal to Gansbaai and with its panoramic views of Walker Bay, undoubtedly one of the best whale-watching destinations on the planet. There are many things to do in Gansbaai and De Kelders features on the list more than a few times. Historical caves( Klipgat Caves), hiking trails, safe swimming coves, beaches, whale watching boats, shark cage diving trips, sea kayaking tours, wine tours and many more . This upmarket residential area stretches from Walker Bay Nature Reserve to Stanford's Bay. We do acknowledge that we might not be the nicest or best in your opinion but we do know that we are located in one of the best scenic locations. Otherwise we do apologies for any other inconvenience that may have been caused during your stay with us. Kind regards Sea Star Cliff Team
