Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The place had no coffee or tea in the rooms. There were filing cabinets and other furniture stored in the bedroom. The lady at reception was not that friendly.
The location was convenient for where we needed to be. Linen was clean and crisp, and beds were comfortable.

There were no washbasin plugs, no water or hot water after 22h00. Initially only two very thin bathtowels, no handtowels. There was no soap dish in the shower, only added after complaining. TV was only activated on Sunday (we arrived on Friday). The wifi only connected sometimes after complaining. Several light globes were out, and after some were replaced, the one was replaced with an emergency light which stayed on when lights were switched off thus had to sleep with light on. There were no bedside lamps.
No breakfast taken.

They did not know who I was when I arrived. The owner was extremely rude and unhelpful on the phone. Also, I feel scammed, the pictures are not a true representation of what the place looks like. Where is the lush green lawn that is shown in the pictures? Would highly not recommend this place at all!

What you see on the advert is not what you find. As you drive in to the yard the first impression I got was that the house looks abandoned. I was not happy at all and as a result I couldn't stay in the house and had to cancel my stay.

This facility is not supposed to be on booking.com. The pictures are deceiving.The place is unkept,linen and towels were once white but now are colourless, pillows are wornout not enough kitchen utensils,infact I saw one spoon,maybe some were hidden somewhere.There are few plastic spoons forks n knives to use. Tell me about noise wuuuu!!!. The windows in room 9 don't close properly.Theres a strange smell coming from the bathrooms.😭😭😭😭 The braai area is full of old packed office desks that have been gathering dust for a very long time.The sink is broken. I wouldn't recommend this facility to anyone.Once again, the pictures are deceiving toooooooooooooo much!!!!!!The place needs proper renovation. Loadshedding time,the place doesn't have any form of lighting except for the 2 burner gas stove. The owner of a nice lady but I think she can do far better.
The cleaner was friendly and accomodating
