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.).

BotswanaAlmost nothing, ok, the password of the Wifi led to a repeater, which was a bit weak in that room, although stronger connections were available. This should be easy to correct.
This is actually a beautiful residential home in a wealthy neighborhood of which some rooms are rented out for guests . Very quiet and safe. We enjoyed a fully equipped bathroom and a kitchen line as well as a view on the swimming pool. We will come again.

BotswanaMy door to the outside patiowas not locking properly this urked me as I have a need to feel secure. There was only 1 towel in the shower for a room ment for 2, maybe if I had asked it would have been there. Also complimentary means "given for free" so please say breakfast needs to be paid for or simply explain the details on your site 🙏🏽
The staff are very welcoming and do not pry into your business too much. The beds are comfortable and the room itself is very spacious would definitely recommend

United StatesThe room was spacious and comfortable. The A/C worked great since it's getting warm these days. The bathroom wasn't the most inviting ever. The shower stall was a bit small and there was no hot water in the morning.
My wife and I were attending a formal event at the Phakalane Golf Estate that was going to run quite late. Unfortunately, Phakalane Golf Estate is not pet friendly. This is where Carlcyn Homestay saved the day. The property was located quite close to the venue and we were able to bring our dogs with us. Tino was very kind and showed us a different room that was more convenient for us.

United StatesThe tv in my bedroom only got one channel unless I left my bedroom to go to the lounge to change the channel. But if someone else was in there, my tv was stuck on whatever station they were watching.
The price I paid was fair for the stay. The neighborhood is safe and quiet.
