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 peace and quiet was sarene. A great break away from the city life and our little pupper loved it there.
The pool was not heated and the restaurant on site was not open for most of our stay.
Thank you for your visit. The pool is only heated over most weekends, during the week we fill the jacuzzi for your use on request. Glad you enjoyed your free upgrade.

Notice about the parking being very muddy.
Thank you for your review. Yes it is very wet as we had more than normal rainfall this year.

Verified reviewWe appreciate the fact that we were allowed to arrive later than normal. That's being considerate.
The fact that there is no network/signal is the worst. The linen was smelly and dirty. The idea of sleeping cement is horrible. Worst experience ever. We are definitely not coming back and we will not recommend it to anyone. The road leading to your property is something else. We almost got stuck in mud on our way there on Friday.
Thank you for your review. The road is unfortunately out of our control, and worse due to the amount of rain we had. The road you used is a 4x4 road on our directions. All our correspondence states that we have no coverage/signal at the lodge.

Thank you for your review. We do apologies for the no signal, as all our correspondence states we have no wifi/signal at the lodge. The staff has grills available for the indoor fireplace, as we use it mostly for fireplaces and not braais.

Old and tired linen, kitchen utensils. The fridge does not have a thermostat and is set on Freeze, so all our food got frozen.

Verified reviewIt was in a quiet place. The staff was nice. The scenery was beautiful and the stream was epic.
There was a cigarette smell in the room. The toilets are detached so we had to walk in the rain to go to the bathroom. There are bugs and no bug prevention. The pool water was nasty (they are not treating the fountain water). There was no mention of a R500 key deposit until on arrival and the lights kept going off and on.
