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 AfricaJust a few hours of electricity available in the country, just like Lesotho. During electricity blackouts, the gates locked us in. Gas stove didn't work during electricity blackouts. There is no free coffee and tea.
There is Netflix in the communal lounge. I watched Netflix till late at night. Lots of space for vehicle parking when I was there. Nice self catering with a braai area under shelter. Lots of beds available when I was there. There is back up lights when there is electricity blackouts.

BelgiumThanks to the load shedding the people that were sitting outside went to their room quite early. Otherwise it would have been difficult to go to sleep I think.
We had a lovely room. The host and her husband were really welcoming, approachable and helpful. The host herself was interested and caring as well. There's a lovely and cosy patio/terrace and all the regular rooms are surrounding this patio. The accommodation was well maintained, completely functioning, and very clean. The location is convenient: close to everything, yet quiet. Props again to the super friendly host! The price for this place is hard to beat!

MadagascarThe location is perfect and central, in a very quiet neighbourhood. It's not fancy but it is super clean, the mattresses are very comfy and there's everything you need in the room (kettle, coffee, mugs, a big TV, Netflix, etc...). The hosts are very friendly, helpful and happy to give us all information required about what to do and what to see in the area. We (a family of 5) felt like home and we will definitely be back at Keedols next time we travel to Knysna. I highly recommend this place.

South AfricaThe space was a little bit tight but it did not bother us.
It was very comfortable and everything you might need for a place to unload and to explore the surroundings. Then return and enjoy the best night's rest. Just far away from the noise to enjoy the peace. And close enough to the best breakfast spot in town with a great shop next door. Secure parking was great and best bed and bedding we've had on our trip.
