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 AfricaI liked The smart stove, got lunch ready in 10 minutes for me and my fiancé. Also I only just liked this place caz it had a roof, a roof over my head for 2 nights, BTW did I mention I booked for 4 NIGHTS? I stayed for 2. Don't book this place, go to the marine parade, get a room at the parade hotel on OR Tambo road, it's worth the money, also they do have seggs but it's not too much, it's a nice and quiet seggs, kinda hot if your with Bae, gets you heated, and they don't do it all night, they only have seggs in the morning before breakfast, not freaky loud annoying seggs. I'm traumatized from the blue sash experience guys, the seggs was not it. I got up at 2am and showerd, got my makeup on and I told Bae I want to leave, it was 3.30am when I asked if we can leave, the seggs was the deal breaker for me, it was too much.
The bedsheets, the 1 ply toilet paper, the light switch, the noise, smell urghh.. The light switch to our room is outside, when you switch it off the other room also switches off, I had a light battle all night with our neighbor. gosh they all smoke in the house, it smells of shisha, weed, and all kinds of smoke. I was promised that the bathroom would have toilet paper, there was non. Oh don't even get me started on the shower, there are two toilets, the black and the white, the owner didn't tell us the white toilet is only for number 1, some other guest did a number 2 in it and tried to flush it, but it didn't flush, the water just filled up the toilet bowl till the ring you sit on, the number 2 was just there swimming, we had to look at it every time we use the shower, that is so disgusting, oh and the shower curtain looked like something from a murder scene in a horror movie, it also kept touching me when I was showering, the water was too hot, it's too hard to regulate, I can't stop thinking of the floating number 2 hey, I like to brush my teeth after Im done with the shower, I remember brushing my teeth trying not to look in the toilet bowl, oh gosh it was like it's in my mouth, the whole bathroom was smelling. The guys kept peeing on the black toilet sit for number 1 and number 2, it was frustrating and disgusting, so because at this point I was tired and also running out of toilet seat sanitizer I peed on the toilet sit too, so yeah you have been warned, if you ever visit this place, just keep in mind that you will be sitting on other people's pee. When you are sleeping peacefully in your room, other guests drive up their cars in the driveway with their headlights at maximum brightness, so it will keep waking you up because your room is literally facing the driveway.
