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 Africawe were not informed that we needed to bring items such as kitchen towels, washing liquid, body soap etc. The pipe under the washbasin was broken and water flooded the bathroom. The dinner at the restaurant was good and reasonably priced, but service was very slow, even though there were only two tables occupied.
The resort is in an ideal location on the beachfront. the view from the chalet is lovely

South Africa1.Location was difficult to find on first day of arrival. 2. No TV in the rooms. Did not get proper information that i need to pay at facility while on booking online and it i was requested to give the card number for payment and i had to pay again at facility and i am still waiting for refund. My vacation was compromised because i went out of my budget while it it was difficult for me to get hold of facility on the numbers provided online.

SloveniaAt the evening there has been many mosquitos which we have our dinner in restaurant.
Nice place near the beach, we had our own hut. Not many places around, quiet and relaxing. But you do need to have your own car (SUV) to come to the place. It is worth it.

South AfricaFelt like we could have gotten more assistance in regards to getting to the property.. Many other accommodations we stayed at helped and assisted us on different solutions to getting to their premises… would be more helpful especially considering how far out the location of this place is…When at the restaurant I asked if I could replace the eggs in the breakfast to anything else (rather bread/mushrooms/tomatoes) and was told that it’s not possible. Thought it was quite strange 😅 Restaurant was a bit pricey and the cofee not that great …
The property looked amazing! Very well built and far away from other villas so that it’s private..
