How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe beds are very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The owners were welcoming. The game drive was very informative, the morning muffins were fresh and delicious during the game drive. Very peaceful nights, that all you can hear is nature. Overall, the place is recommended and we would visit again.

Verified reviewVenue was easy to find, the directions given were specific and clear. The room was spacious and the bed comfy. We went on the game drive at 5h30 the following morning, Gunther's knowledge and information given was excellent and very professional. The coffee and muffins were a fantastic add-on to the gamedrive.

Verified reviewPerfectly located in Kruger the owners are lovely and very friendly. The room was perfectly accommodated and we really enjoyed our stay. It was really nice to stay there.
We got lost coming back past midnight in the dirt roads and apprently caused stress and upset with the owner and we were apparently too loud despite not playing any music and we did not party. I would recommend if you go to sleep early and if you are very quiet on a regular schedule.

Verified reviewCleanest place I have ever stayed at. The unit had some items that most other places dont have in their units. Simple things, but things you sometimes forget. I.e. Salt, pepper, braai salt, lighter, torch, and so much more. Staff and owners are so welcoming and friendly.
I liked absolutely everything. Nothing to fault

Verified reviewIt’s tranquil, clean and looks just like the pictures.
The male co-owner is quite aggressive. There was a miscommunication with the other owner (his partner) and my partner about us “booking” a game drive with them. We did not; we booked a self-drive game drive. Upon returning from our self drive game drive he came around to our cabin and he was upset because he waited for us for 45 minutes because from the communication that he had had with his partner, my partner and I had booked a game drive. I asked him why he didn’t call us when he could see that we weren’t pitching for his game drive because that seems like a sensible thing to do; to call someone when they’re late. He proceeded to then argue and say that he should be charging us for the game drive that we never went on??? He’s honestly just an angry and aggressive person.

Verified reviewBeautiful stay, the owners are wonderful people. Some animals visited right at the fence, including a family of cheetahs. We were also able to see quite a bit on our game drives.
The electricity was unfortunately out for a long period of our stay.
