Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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):
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.
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...).

South AfricaThe furniture is old, it’s like an old building nje. There was a weird smell in the room. Not the kind of smell you’d expect from a hotel, I had to keep my windows open the entire time as it was nauseating. Yeah basically it’s very low budget I’d say, I’ve seen better apartments even.
The location is great as it is next to the ocean. Also the hotel is relatively cheap compared to the other hotels around the area.

Thank you. We've been to Ocean Breeze a few times, sea facing. We ve had a wonderful time. As it was a last minute decision we managed to get the False Bay booking. The reviews was not to good but we decided to take the chance. We were pleasantly surprised .would give you 4 stars except urgently in need of an Aircon in room 505. Will use that room anytime if a sea view is not available. Thank you. We had a wonderful time. Will definately see you soon

South AfricaI didnt like that you cant sit around the pool. The pool is boxed in with glass banister so unless you swim you cant use the pool. I just wanted to sit on the side and put my feet in to cool off. Also didnt like that my room window faced where the cleaners do the laundry- it was noisy and disruptive.
The Room didnt have aircon but the ceiling fan did a good job, i loved the shower and the bed was the highlight.

South AfricaI didn't like the fact that the name of the place did not match my room. The room I thought I booked was not the room I was placed in . The mat placed gets wet very quick ,not really a shower mat . The cupboards did not close the shower also wet the floor when closed . I had to use my hand towel to clean the floor.

The room was only servised after 2pm. They should put loadshedding times up in the lift as I was stuck for a minute in the dark and very frightening. The breakfast were Excellent, highly recommend the breakfast

South AfricaThe hotel did need some repairs and at night when walking through the corridor all you can smell is people smoking, but that view made everything okay. Also, the TV doesn't work during load shedding which is a bit irritating.
The view was amazing and the room was comfortable.
