Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

GermanyThe wall between bathroom and bedroom has a gap in the upper Part. You cant see each other, but you can hear everything, and you cant hang Up the Windows in the bathroom, so the opposite bungalow can have a Look inside
The Bungalows are so cozy and well decorated, the beds have a heating blanket, which is amazing specially for Swakopmund, because Here it geta cold fast. The Location is near the City, you can reach everything by foot. The Bungalows in the Back have a view in the ocean which is great. Breakfast was tasty

GermanyThe location is very good and I like the unique style and design. We were a group of 4 staying in room 1 (no view) and room 6 (sea view). While in room 6 everything was okay, room 1 seemed to have some maintenance issues as the toilet was making weird noises, also the bathroom was quite claustrophobic. While the design is unique, other properties in this price range have a bit more of an attentive touch when it comes to the small things like proper amenities (soap, shampoo, shower gel and body lotion should be standard). Otherwise all good.

United Kingdomour room was the closest to the road so it was quite noisy at times. There seemed to be some sort of car/bike meeting in the local neighbourhood so lots of revving engines which was a pain. If you do stay try and get a room nearer the water as these are farthest from the road and probably have a better view too. Maybe they only give the rooms nearer the road to Booking.com clients!
Nice room with great facilities. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

United StatesView from balcony close to ocean and Swakop River. The guest house was on stilts, over the dunes. The cottage itself was very comfortable with little fridge in room, bug spray which was useful as it was the rainy season. The staff was EXCELLENT and VERY HELPFUL, pleasant and COURTEOUS……Elsie, Silas, Johnny were some of the names I recall but there were others! Breakfast was served in an adjacent cottage… a variety of eggs cooked to order, fruit, yoghurt, cereals, breakfast meats and delicious coffee . The office was willing to keep our luggage on site and we left our rental car in the parking lot adjacent to the office while we took a 2 day, 1 overnight desert tour.

RomaniaWe loved our cabin at Stiltz - it was roomy, built with natural materials, very nicely decorated and super comfy. The walkways of the lodge gave great views over the ocean and we saw various birds and even camels. The staff was super friendly and kind, the shower was great and the beds were really comfortable. Definitely recommend!
