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 directions sent before the visit on how to get to Cyferfontein should be clearer.
The house is spacious, luxurious and well-equipped. The best part was having the animals coming to the watering holes right in front of the deck. Lynette, the agent, was always accessible and helpful throughout our stay.

South AfricaNot much not to like.
Located in the middle of the bush, with no-one around in sight. Feel completely private and secluded. The living area, kitchen and deck is superb place to spend some time.

South AfricaThe 20:00 curfew was bad. The ad is a bit misleading about what is available on the property. The pool is too cold for winter, a heated pool could help, mainly for winter or automn months.
The property itself is beyond reproach, its beautiful, clean and has everything you will want. The property is spectacular, the animals, the everything in the house, i have no complaints. You take a shower the full view of the animals. You wake up to the serene sounds of birds

South AfricaThey have withheld our R3000 deposit. They have poor replies when answering. Unprofessional staff. They accused us of damaging the property when it wasn't us.
We loved our stay here, we however have not enjoyed the fact that they will not give us back our deposit. After really looking after this place, we were accused of breaking, burning and destroying different things in the house that were already broken when we got there. They then said we must pay R6000 total in damages. After proving thay it was broken before they still withheld our deposit as they said we broke the fire pit lid (we used it as instructed and it warped) so we said get us a quote and we will talk about it. Instead they keep delaying it saying rhe owners are away (why have a property manager if they can't sort problems out whilst you're away) and now we are getting attitude and poor replies back. They still have our R3000.

South AfricaThe municipal gravel road leading to the Cyferfontein Gate is in a very bad state. I would recommend that the authorities address this and get scraped as its not ideal for travelling in a normal sedan. The shower floors are slippery and would recommend that none slip mats should be considered.
The overall experience was amazing, modern holiday home with everything you need to have an exceptional break away. To wake up in the morning and open the curtains just to see four young Nyala`s drinking outside at the waterhole is very special for the family. To make an already special weekend spectacular is to see so 13x Elephants withing 30min drive in the game viewer. The Shower and bathing experience is something to get used to but very special experience.
