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.).

That other guests would come and stand infront of the sliding door. Wr were given one towel for the whole weekend. The bed could use a new mattress. The kettle doesn't have a plug point. The couch was uncomfortable if sat on for too long.. Housekeeping should have a uniform. The picture of your pool is deceiving. It is quiet difficult to find your place in the evening.. Need bigger sign.
The room was comfortable. Your staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and had everything we needed.

Staff is not available when needed. Had to look around when I needed assistance. The lady who is your receptionist or the lady who answers the phone is not friendly. She gets irritated very easily. Beds are not comfortable they very hard. Your TV network is very bad.
Quietness and easily accessible. The place is neat and clean. The only lady who was very accommodative and very welcoming was the lady who assisted us with making payments and showed us around the place.

Kitchen utensils in the drawers were all quite dirty . This property is very close to the main road and whilst the house seems rather secure given there are security gates there isn’t any main gate when you drive in which I was particularly comfortable with but otherwise everything else was pretty good .
It was easy to find , staff were all very helpful and polite. Room was spacious and clean and despite reading many reviews about the bed not being comfortable , we personally felt the bed was very comfy

I didn't like that there wasn't a shower (there was a tub with a hand shower thing without any enclosure) and the ad booking.com wasn't clear about there not being a kitchenette in the room and descriptive about the accommodation being a single house with rooms. As more people moved in it became uncomfortable and abit noisy.
The friendly and helpful staff, the room and all it's amenities (especially the aircon), the room service, the closeness to the ocean and other places, and the view were all well appreciated.

I came to Port Shepstone on a business trip with a colleague who happens to be a Chinese national, the laughter from the receptionist as we were filling the forms is shocking. How do you laugh at someone just because they are of different race and writes differently to you?
