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...).

South AfricaThe basics could be improved, for example better quality cushions in the bedrooms, nicer towls and soap in the bathroom. However, these are small things, on the whole it was a lovely place to stay.
Close to Kelly's beach, just a 15-minute walk. Comfortable stay with friendly hosts. The accommodation is the owner's study which he converted into a two-bedroom garden flat. I liked staying on the property with other people about, made me feel safe. Their cat and dogs also visited us regularly, which felt very homy.

United KingdomBeing able to stay much longer.
Dave makes you feel very welcome and at home within minutes of arrival. There is everything you need in the apartment and more. Bed is very comfortable. Parking is safe on the driveway just outside the house. The shower was fantastic with rain, body and handheld shower heads. There is an invertor so TV and lights are still on. Gas stovetop so cooking also not affected. Views from the house are stunning. Dave's daughter Britanny even brought me some freshly made crepes. I extended my stay as it was just so comfortable. If you are reading this review don't hang about just book it.

South AfricaNot to be mean but I didn’t like being monitored by the host on who comes and goes because they live on the property. I booked for 3 and obviously 3 people Will sleep. Having a guest or two come see you is inevitable when visiting a new place, You bound to make a friend or meet a friend or two.
The house is beautiful, clean and neat. Own space and great location.

South AfricaThe privacy aspect was not something I was too happy with. I think if you know you have people over, you don't arrange your garden boy to be up and down and looking into the place. The owner was the same, when we were outside, she was too, and she was constantly outside. This wouldn't have been an issue if we were allowed to close all the blinds, but there are labels everywhere with what you are not allowed to do. Secondly, the page said that the pool would be available, but the pool was covered throughout our stay, and on the Saturday we thought it was being opened it was cleaned and closed again. You are also not sure what facilities you are allowed to use and which not as there is a book with rules with what you need to request first, but sadly the communication when you do request is not too great. We requested which braai we could use, I am still waiting for a response a day later. We ended up using what we thought was ok. This listing should state that it is not a private pool or private stay, as you share with the owners. Its really just uncomfortable. Our expectations were higher than the reality of our stay.
The apartment was clean, and well equipped with everything you might need.

United KingdomANTS! A lot of stairs to get into the property be aware if you have mobility issues, the apartment was over run by ants, and didn't see ant traps anywhere, they were even on the beds. shower leaked and had to use bath towels to mop up, had to ask for the room to be serviced and was only done once in 7 days, kitchenette tap water flow was a trickle, ants in the sugar, not an air tight container. wifi only worked well in the bathroom.
The views were amazing, the owners were very accommodating and a great help with printing documents for our flight, local knowledge and changing a bulb(globe). Room was clean on arrival. pool on site, good size. Gecko friend in the apartment, no problem with him at all, kind of sweet. Cats and dogs were lovely and had cuddles. alarm system and clear instructions on how to use it and stay safe. water pressure in bath and shower was very good.

South AfricaWhen we got there, there was no one to welcome us. We found a garden guy, who told us the owner went out. He showed us where we are staying and left. There were no curtains. We were very exposed. No mop,, when we request one, we were told they are not in town. The lady who was staying nextdoir, shouted at us, telling us we are not allowed to park in the yard but accommodation has parking accordingly to Booking.com. She even said people who book normally comes with one car. But that was never mentioned to us as to how many cars can we bring or we are allowed to bring. We had two cars so we basically had no clue where to park or cars. We came from different locations. We needed secure parking and not just park on the street. The lady was very rude, and did not want to understand that when we booked, parking was one of the things we needed.
Accommodation is very clean and neat
