Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 staff on duty haven't received all the arrangements that have been made with the guest house. The breakfast orders were not as order. We were five people for breakfast, and it took very long before everyone receiving their breakfast, the last plate arrived when everyone had finished theirs. The tables were arranged in couples, (we understood that most rooms are only accommodating two people) but as we were the only ones having breakfast so late and was on a corporative business get away, we expected that the guest house should go out have their way to bring in a table to fit everyone. it was awkward for one of our staff members to sit on his own. The pool room could be more invitingly decorated.
The friendly manner in which all our request was handled. Our breakfast was moved out of the ordinary times as we were going on hot air balloon ride very early in the morning in Tala Valley. It was a delicious breakfast, we appreciate that the staff had to stay longer hours to accommodate us. The rooms were very small but cosy and the bed was very comfortable. The entrance hall and lounges are beautifully decorated. The garden is a pleasure for the eye.

SeychellesLoved everything! Maybe one thing is the toilet paper could be replaced. But then again it is a self catering! We have zero complaints!
The location was superb and the place was fully equipped with basic things one would need. We have a love for animals, so seeing the horses come out every morning, the doggies running up and down and the resident cat was a plus! The lady that does our room every morning is a gem! We stayed in the studio room and this was ideal for us as its very private. Absolutely loved the place!

South AfricaNothing could improve on the lovely stay we had. The roads in the area are being upgraded, however there were still some potholes in the area. But that has nothing to do with Fever Tree.
Breakfast was delicious. More than adequate and reasonably priced. Loved the trees, birds, silence and proximity of the parking area.
