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...).

United KingdomNothing. Superb stay.
Excellent Guest House. As a group of 8 we had the whole place to ourselves. The pool and rooms were great, the breakfast offering was really good and the bonus was that it was within walking distance to the restaurants and beach. We only stayed one night this time, but can't wait to return next time we visit the area.

Absolutely everything! From the very moment of booking. Feedback was prompt, courteous, and efficient. After hours check-in, with Thabisha, was such an awesome pleasure. Thank you Thabisha - you made me feel immediately welcome, and @ Home. Many many thanks also to Cilla and team, for accommodating a second guest, at such short notice. You guys are absolute Rock Stars! I cannot wait to bring my wife for the next stay @ Anchor's Rest, in Umhlanga.

Very comfortable, in the heart of Umhlanga. Hosts were so accommodating to let us check in early as we had a wedding that afternoon, as prepare an earlier breakfast the next morning as we had some things to sort out before flying out. Room was comfortable, with filtered water provided which was a nice touch! (Always end up buying waters at most other establishments). Will definitely recommend!

South AfricaWe felt the two large pictures on the side walls in our room were not thematically suitable.
Anchors rest is amazing. The bathroom was spotless. King bed very comfortable, toiletries great quality and the tea bags were of superior quality. We did not book breakfast so cannot comment on it. We were welcomed by a charming English lady when we arrived earlier than expected and treated to tea and biscuits at the sparkling pool. Anchors rest can really be recommended as there was simply nothing that was not exceptional. We loved the pictures in the reception area and the small pictures above our bed. The large pictures on the side walls in our room were out of place.Thanks for a stunning stay. We will surely pass on your contact details.
