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 are 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 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.).

United Kingdom2 issues for us. The room we booked was a superior sea view and balcony. However our room sat directly over the roof below which spoils the view. We did ask to move to the room next door which did not have this obstruction but we were informed there were guests there already. We were the first to check in and so we were confused as the room was not open all day and not occupied until the evening. The website photos do not show this obstruction in any picture of the rooms. Additionally the first 2 days were lovely but on the 3rd day drilling started immediately next door and went on all day we had to go out. The building works were on going for some time but not mentioned on the website when booking. However I spoke with the manager and he did compensate us for this.
It’s a beautiful property overlooking the beach

South AfricaOnly one thing - the pillows are hard but I say that only because you are asking me what I dont like and perhaps the feedback will be useful to Periwinkel. The Pro's far outweigh the Cons and I would gladly put up with hard pillows as everything else more than makes up for it.
Richard and Donovan were great, the views from the lounge/patio are exceptional and the location to the beach is outstanding. I will definitely come back for another visit. Freshly baked scones and cakes is a lovely touch that makes it feel homely and the ladies working the breakfast shift are all lovely and helpful and ready to assist in any way they can. The buffet spread was very fresh with a good selection.

South AfricaI didn't get to have breakfast because I was going to do an activity and felt I could have thrown up had I eaten, so I didn't get to taste all that food. 😞
I was warmly welcomed with the best lemon meringue cake and cappuccino by the deck overlooking the sea. The pool is great - it was drizzling when I went in but still loved it. My room was big and warm too 😊 I forgot his name now, but the man with dreadlocks was really helpful on my arrival. Please give him his flowers 😄.

South AfricaUnsecured parking with warning signs. Think that the parking area needs to be fenced in with automatic gates
The layout for breakfast was great and Richard very accommodating. The check in time could be earlier if one wants to pack your things out and still fit a long beach walk in before sunset. I guess it's easier off season so I am not complaining, just an observation. We will be back

United KingdomWe didn’t want to leave! Our experience may not have been the same if it had been busier. The pool area is beautiful but quite small, which could be an issue if lots of people were wanting to use it at the same time. The Wi-Fi was absolutely fine in the property but doesn’t work by the pool - really not in issue as the views are so fab so you don’t want to be looking at your phone!
The views are absolutely spectacular. We were very lucky that it wasn’t very busy when we got here and even had the whole property to ourselves one night. We were upgraded to a sea view room for free, which had a really lovely bathroom. The pool is incredible and we had it to ourselves every time we used it. The staff are lovely and couldn’t be more helpful and the breakfast is great with lots of fruit. The location is great for the beach - a 2 min walk to the swimming area. It’s a short drive to the Plettenberg Bay town with lots of restaurant choices and a short drive in the other direction to the Robberg nature reserve for the most beautiful hike.
