Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Our Room was right on the beach and was perfect for our needs.

South AfricaI missed not having a basin, small stove, cutlery and a basin in the kitchen.....would have been perfect for those instances where you want to prepare your own food. The restaurant did help us out with plates and knives and forks when we had our barbeque though.
Location is great, nice swimming pool, nice restaurant.

United States of AmericaBreakfast is ok, it's almost required to purchase at the lodge since the rooms are not set up for self-catering. Fridge and kettle only - no hot plate, dishes, etc.
Great location - our room was right next to the entrance to the beach and the view of the sunrise over the ocean every morning is not to be missed!

MozambiqueWe have been coming here regularly but the restaurant really needs to be improved. The quality of products used are not good and the staff needs training.
It's a family friendly location well located and close to the town. The place has a lot of potential if the owners invest a bit more in quality.

United KingdomNothing. Everything was exceptional. If we were to fault something, we prefer hotel and resort bedding to be fully white as opposed to colours
Everything. Wasn’t so sure at first because nobody had heard of it, once we arrived. It was perfect. We stayed the night before in San Martinho Bilene and we enjoyed our stay here a lot more. The staff were super friendly and responsive. The kitchen staff understood Halaal and offered to cook all our meals separately. He even advised us where to find halal food in the village. Would deffo come here again.

South AfricaThe aspects that could be improved upon at the property were: 1.Lack of amenities such as a microwave or a small kitchenette in the accommodation. This would have added convenience for meal preparation. 2.The beds could have been more comfortable, as this is crucial for a good night's sleep and overall relaxation during the stay. Aside from these points, there were no major concerns, and overall, we had a pleasant experience.
I loved several aspects of the property: 1.The cleanliness was impeccable, which made for a comfortable stay. 2.Its proximity to the beach was fantastic; being within walking distance added to the convenience and enjoyment of our time there. 3.Having a restaurant and bar on the property was a huge plus; it made dining and socializing incredibly convenient. 4.Being close to shops and local vendors allowed us to explore the area easily and immerse ourselves in the local culture. 5.And of course, being extremely close to Nice Cream, where we enjoyed the best ice cream, was a delightful treat during our stay. Additionally, we enjoyed Focoffee restaurant, also within walking distance from the resort. Guests should definitely try this locally-owned gem; the exceptionally friendly staff, especially Jacob, made our dining experience memorable. Overall, it was a lovely experience that combined convenience, comfort, and enjoyable amenities seamlessly.

South AfricaWiFi range.
The rooms don't have TVs, so keep that in mind; however, it's not a biggie at all. I didn't like the fact that the WiFi is only available at the bar and restaurant. I think this is a much-needed service, especially for foreign visitors. It'd be nice if they could invest in improving WiFi coverage. The location is the best. This is the proper beachfront. From our room (11), it was literally 30 steps to the beach. I would also like to acknowledge the barman. He was amazing and assisted with my personal itinerary. The rooms are clean; there are no complaints there. The sheets are the best in terms of quality; however, they are clean and adequate. Rooms have air conditioning, which comes in handy. The units are old and are being refreshed a bit with a fresh coat of paint. It would have been nice to have a sink or kitchenette, but the units aren't built for self-catering. Tea and coffee are provided. The swimming pool is small, but the location and ocean more than make up for that. If you're from South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Eswatini, and Lesotho, amongst others, just take remember to get the that Type F plug adapter. It'll make life easier for you.
