Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

For me personally I would have liked to have a sheet with the option of a light fleecy blanket/s as opposed to a duvet. I find a duvet is often too warm/hot for me which leads to a restless night's sleep.
There was no breakfast as this was self-catering. The accommodation was excellent and the views absolutely stunning

There have been some reviews complaining about the heavy wood furnishings. OK, they are dated but they work well and are comfortable and functional and we accepted them as part of the character of the place. The balcony offered amazing views but it could be quite cool if the wind was blowing.
Kite View 2 was everything we hoped for. As a kitesurfer I found it was the perfect location: a large balcony to monitor the conditions, a short walk to the beach, kit washing facilities, plenty of space for drying, and a great shower. The house was very spacious, clean and well equipped and would easily sleep 6 people. The area is very quiet and private and there is good bird life in the nature reserve just close by. We met the managing team, Owen (who is a kitesurfer) and Helen, and they were very helpful and obliging. Thanks to them for making it a very enjoyable holiday.

Verskuilde kostes. Booking.com sê nie dat daar onmiddelik n extra R500 afgetrek gaan word vir "cleaning services" nie. Dan is die plek nie skoon nie. Die buitebraai se vloer is vol vet en kos kolle. Die meubels is so bemors van voëlmis en stof dat ons dit nie kon gebruik nie. Daar is ook nie lappe of skoonmaak middels sodat ons dit self kon skoonmaak nie. Die vrieskas se laaie is vasgevries en vol muf en vuil. Daar is stukkies chips en peanuts op die matte . So waarvoor is die R500 skoonmaak fooi as ons in n vuil plek ingaan. Dan moet jy nog n extra R750 kontant betaal voor jy die sleutels kry. Dit is vir enige breekskaade en daar word ook op die plek vir jou gesê dat jy nie al jou geld gaan terugkry nie. Die koffie bekers het chip merke en daar is baie klein voutjies wat na die tyd gebruik word om kastig van jou breekskaade deposito af trek. So die R3080 advertensie is toe R4330 vir 2 nagte. Nou is dit nie meer waarde vir geld nie.
Baie mooi plek en baie goed geleë. Mooi uitsig.

Amazing views over the river mouth from the balcony with braai enjoyed by all. Back up lights and gas stove so load shedding not an issue. Overall a cozy place that the family really enjoyed.

Towels way too small and thin for winter. Bedrooms and bathrooms - no heaters. No electric blanket. Please consider thick good quality bath sheets. I did not like that I was expected to do the dishes when one pays for cleaning R390. Bit of a cheek. Ruins the holiday mood to have all these rules
Loved the style of the property, the views and closeness to the sea. Great fireplace. Great main bedroom with views

Other than providing accommodation, nothing else is provided. We have stayed in many places over the years and it seems when its not owner managed, as opposed to external agents, there is a lack of care and interest for the guests. Nothing even basic is provided, such as a a packet of wood, tray of ice, salt, pepper, sugar, etc. You need to bring along everything you may need. Only 2 toilet paper rolls ( 1 for each toilet) for a booking for 3 nights for 6 adults) was provided. Only 2 dishwasher tablets was provided. The bath towels are small and thin and of little use in winter. The apartment is extremely cold and not sound proof so you hear every noise from the apartment above.
The beautiful view from the outside area, walking distance from the beach & fairly spacious
