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 gate was not locked when we got there and also when we left in the morning ,which was not a good indicator of good security.Also the bathroom is wee wee tiny,and water splashes from the shower when in use but for what you pay,I guess you can suck it. Finally the heaps of garbage bags we saw next to the gate does not give the place a good look
It a good overnight accommodation with clean linen.Its ok for people who are in transit,one or two max days.

South AfricaNothing, just an advise, they must always have a spare blanket for every room, Northam is very cold and there must always be a backup to keep customers warm even if there is loadshedding. Must improve on Kitchen Facilities as well as some customers might need coffee from bed.
The staff was amazing, communication was excellent. It made every request or concerned I had much easier. The room was clean and spacious, well the WiFi as well, was using their WiFi all the way, another good thing is there is an improved coverage in terms of network in Northam, my Telkom WiFi wouldn't work, now there is coverage which was good for me everywhere I go.

South AfricaThe air conditioning remote did not have batteries and it was scorching hot outside and we had to buy our own remote. The microwave was even worse, it had mould and rust at the top of which I don’t think that is hygienic. And the sheets on the bed were torn they had holes and the beds don’t have a mattress protector. The one leg of the bed kept on popping out.
It was reasonable priced and the staff was really friendly

South AfricaWiFi socket, poor cell phone connectivity, only one towel, no complementary shower gell and shampoo, there was a used bar of soap (puzzlingly this used bar of soap was advertised as something of a positive facility in this establishment????). It doest provide meals (especially breakfast - this should be mentioned in the profile online information) The bed linen was torn with holes in it, the curtain in the front glass front was ill-fitting, it didn't cover the whole glass front - anyone outside could see you inside. Generally, it was barely better than nothing (even though I opted for the higher end of the rooms available). The booking App sucked!!! I don't think I would go back there anytime soon unless all other guest houses in the area are fully booked!
Location was okay, close to the main/central business district. At least it had an air on system that worked very well, and a fridge, the only things that I needed in the trip.
