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.).

South AfricaThe dinner was a typical buffet dinner and not bad. Mosquito's were a huge bother.
The location was wonderful. The beach was in a small bay of it's own and very private. The room was very clean and neat, just like the pictures. The staff were super accommodating changing our dates.

South AfricaRubbish, rubble, unfinished thatching, broken glass panels,rickety staircase, stompies in pot plants, missing pebbles in paving, and general lack of maintenance - sad things to see. Outside furniture filthy as was the mattress protector. Dining area smells of old oil. These are small things that, if remedied, would give a better overall impression. Wine glass with price sticker still on... rather off putting! With the existing infrastructure and setting, this could be a world-class hotel. Just a little bit of TLC and awareness
Amazing setting with unreal views Very friendly receptionist Advertising has been very good of late Woman picking up rubbish on beach is really impressive

South AfricaIt felt like everyone had given up. Not very clean or well maintained. The breakfast and dinner experience were dismal - no real service or knowledge. Either the training is missing, or the desire. It’s a lot to pay for what you get. No WiFi in room.

South AfricaNone of the hotel's fault. There was recent heavy rain, so the tar road was full of potholes and lots of flotsam on the beach.
This secluded hotel right on the beach is in an ideal spot. We enjoyed the prepared food. The service is good and the staff friendly.

South AfricaUnfortunately, the location is not ideal and the road heading into Coffee Bay is absolutely terrible with the worst potholes where you have to drive on the side of the road in some areas. It's a renowned bay that's good for the big fishing enthusiasts but definitely, not a place I'd recommend as a night's stay-over when traveling long distances as it's VERY far off the N2. Also, there are a lot of stray dogs in the rural settlement area that bark at night, which kept us awake from about 2 am.
The dinner was surprisingly delicious! The staff was really friendly and helpful with our check-in and luggage and they were very accommodating in helping us to change our room to be closer to the entrance with all our luggage. The view of the ocean was also really nice.

South AfricaThe parking Firstly, not safe. The room for the rate was a bit of a disappointment not to mention the state of the bathroom and even the blankets. The hotel honestly needs a revamp.
Loved the staff and how friendly they were... food was okay. The hotel has so much potential. I'd love to visit again, hopefully they'll be changes.
