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 KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like.
This is a beautiful home in a lovely setting, close to beaches and the Robberg Peninsula. The room was extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated with many small touches to make us feel at home. There is a lovely swimming pool with loungers to relax on, if you are not too busy exploring the many things Plettenberg Bay has to offer. The hosts had helpfully prepared a booklet with information on places to visit and eat. They were on hand to offer advice but never intrusive. We loved our stay here. We would give it more than 10/10 if we could!

United KingdomI had the most pleasant four-night stay at Calm Waters Guesthouse. My hosts, Kecia and Lionel, were wonderfully welcoming and helpful. The room was everything I needed and more—extremely comfortable, beautifully appointed, and with thoughtful attention to every detail. The guesthouse is conveniently located opposite the Robberg Bay Shopping Centre and just a short walk from the beach. I am truly grateful to my gracious hosts for making my stay so memorable.

South AfricaOne small thing. On one side of the bed, the location of the adapter was just too a little far for the phone charger and cable to reach from the bedside table. As indicated, a very small thing, however...
A very comfortable and well-equipped studio apartment. Highly professionally run operation and super organised.

This lovely room in Kecia and Lionel's guesthouse is in a great location for the beach, for the incredible Robberg Hiking Trail and for good coffee/breakfast at the close by Delia's. The room has everything you need and is very pleasing to the eye. Very personal welcome treats and great list of things to do in the area too. There is also a pool but we didn't have a chance to use it sadly. Felt very safe and secure with car behind electric gate. It was lovely to chat to the hosts and to say hello to their lovely English bulldog, Honey. We'll definitely be back if visiting Plett again!

Very clean, very comfortable property. Great hosts! The facilities provided in room are great. The property is also located at a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. There is a shopping complex right opposite the property, which allows for snack and food shopping. Also very close to the Robberg Hiking Trail, which is a must do, if you’re ever in this part of the country. Honey is also an amazing host. Great for the best belly rubs!
