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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

MozambiqueBecause it's located on one of the principal streets of Ponta D'Ouro, you might hear the quadbikes from time to time. In a busier time of the year it can be a problem, if you're looking to sleep in.
Sean and his team were very welcoming. It was an easy check-in, and right at the beginning, he spoke about all the amenities available on the property. It's based on an honesty system, where you can help yourself at the bar and pay for what you've taken when you set the bill. The breakfast was good. We had eggs Benedict, and they were prepared as we requested. Devocean is very well located, within walking distance to the main hotspots of Ponta D'Ouro.

South Africait would be nice to have a clearer sign outside the property and a sign indicating where to go in to reception. I would like to suggest a lock on the gate. Lots of mosquitos
It was a lovely little tropical paradise with the tents arranged in an oval among the trees and gardens with little pathways. The ablutions were clean and the gardens and walk ways were well maintained. The breakfast and supper was fantastic and personally tailored. Well done to the cooks! It had a nice lounge and dining area where we interacted with other guests. Staff were very friendly and helpful as was the owner Shaun. The bed was comfy and the tent was secure in the heavy downpour. The location is good as once at the property everything can be accessed on foot including the beach, markets and restaurants.

South AfricaI had to think long and hard, and I had to dig quite deep .... maybe there can be a small dustbin in the tents.
We LOVED everything! We lived in our own little mini jungle! Starting when entering the premises after a looooooong drive, feeling quite "out of it" and extremely tired ... a wonderful smell met us, coming from the kitchen side ... it was the lovely Requel who was busy preparing meals for the guests. She is truly a star, going to the market every morning to buy FRESH ingredients or the meals ... I don't think they freeze anything, for all the meals we had, was freshly prepared. Then we met Shaun, the owner and the host ... a warm welcome indeed. We immediately helped ourselves to some drinks and started to "check out" our accommodation. I am picky with regards to a bed and with my back-challenges, I prefer a nice solid bed ... which it was! I was sooooo glad for that set the tone for my holiday ... and if I don't sleep well, everything else is a problem. THANK YOU FOR THE VERY, VERY FIRM BED ... I really appreciated that. I had a relaxing message as well, at the property. The rest of the staff were all so very friendly and accommodating. Even the other guests were approachable and we made lots of new friends. So very glad and grateful to everyone at this venue ... I highly recommend it!

South AfricaA private fridge in the tent would be nice, but I think they have them in the chalets.
The breakfast was amazing there are different options. A short walk from the beach and very safe as it is right next to the police station. The rooms are beautiful and there is ample shade from the trees.
