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 reviewAn absolutely stunning stay! 🌿 The property is incredibly spacious and set right in the middle of the jungle, offering a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The kitchen is superbly equipped with every utensil you could possibly need, making it perfect for cooking. Beautifully decorated interiors add to the charm — every corner feels warm and inviting. Highly recommended for a nature-filled getaway!

Verified reviewThe interior of the house is excellent, and the house is spacious enough. The overall design was well thought.
There are mice living in that house. On our first day, it took us 1 hour to chase a mouse out of the house. We thought it was just 1 mouse and we didn’t worry because we understood that the house is in the bush so things like that might happen. To our surprise, on the third day we spotted another mouse in the kitchen, and this one was big. It even ate our bread. We tried to get rid of it but failed. Our kids were terrified during our stay because the mouse was still in the house but nowhere to be found. We spotted it again on the 4th day and still we couldn’t catch it.

Verified reviewOur stay was really lovely. Very close to Paul Kruger gate and good safe road. Accommodation was faultless and very clean. Will definitely visit again!
I think we went in a quiet time so the Boma restaurant food wasn't great but I can imagine it will be lovely once the property is further developed and busier

Verified reviewA beautiful home with all the luxuries you could hope for. Heated pool, sunny terrace, private boma and well-kitted kitchen. The bedrooms, outside shower and relaxing bath felt like a personal hotel suite within the home. Also the excellent service (from the reception to the daily cleaning staff) deserve a special mention. We loved our stay.
Nothing. It was perfect.

Verified reviewThe ambience and the location is excellent. Very quiet and relaxing. The houses are so well decorated and very clean. There is everything a family needs to have a comfortable holiday. Very convenient. My kids want to visit again soon. 😍 The staff responded well when my daughter had a medical emergency. We were guided well. I was also moved by the fact that the staff who responded via WhatsApp message also wanted us to update of my daughter got help and if evey thing is fine. The staff is so caring and loving. ❤️
We understand ot is a self catering accommodation. However, the tea station ingredients were not sufficient. If we knew we could have brought our own. It would be nice if you could consider serving some rusks or biscuit. 😊

Verified reviewGreat Location close to the Kruger Park main gate. Awesome facilities, including heated pool and gym on the property. The staff was very helpful and always willing to assist. Very efficient.
The Mobile Spa the property uses was very disappointing. It was a total rip-off because it was overpriced for the quality of service offered.

Verified reviewAttention to detail...inside and outside. Comfy beds.lovely outdoor area.Spacious. Good view of the river with animals . Kitchen had ample stock of dishes and appliances.
Ventilation especially while cooking. Cannot leave doors open because of monkeys. Perhaps have a window with a monkey proof cover in order to open it. Or an extractor fan?
