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 AfricaIt would have been really nice to have restocked tea and coffee. The teabag compartment was empty with two wet and old teabags left and the coffee was hard and old. Some nice finishing touches would have been great for the aesthetic and location of the place. Things like restocked items in the bathroom and a cleaning service offered too. Since nobody comes to clean up, it would be awesome having a dishwasher. The pool wasn’t the cleanest and the creepy crawly was only brought out when we were checking out for the next guests, although we had already shared our concerns :(. Some thorough cleaning of the house would be great as lots of corners and spots around the house show the low maintenance. The host was a great communicator and very responsive on the daily as we requested assist! She is sweet! But certain restrictions could have been shared prior to the booking made. We were surprised at a lot of the rules which we only received when we were on our way. Loud music was restricted and reminded more than once with threats of fines but neighbours and surrounding houses played loud music through the night. Would also recommend the hosts give the guests a heads up of cleaning staff arriving the morning of check out. It was a surprise to have cleaning happen over an hour early while trying to pack up to check out on time.
We loved the set up and the space. The outdoor area was also so spacious. We were welcomed by a family of warthogs at the entrance when arriving which was so nice to experience. The place had all you need to have a comfortable stay and we really enjoyed our time there, the quiet surroundings and relaxation time. It is private which made it really great and we felt so safe. The additional repellent resources were a great addition. These work great over and above your own repellant and tabard. Would definitely recommend.

South AfricaI was not happy with the pool. The green algae vibe is not looking good 😕. We had issues with the aircon reported to the host, and she promised to send someone the next day, and no one came to check it out .I went and bought a fan just so we don't die of heat as that place was extremely hot.The temperature was around 35 degrees. The next day my husband noticed that it was the main switch plug that was the issue, nothing big by the way.i even reminded the cleaning lady but still 😔
The accommodation was comfortable, it was clean 👌🏾. The estate is close to shops very accessible to everything you might need. My kids enjoyed watching movies 🎬. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved the sound of birds chirping in the morning 🌄 ooh and we had a few visitors coming to the lodge ,we saw zebras, worthhog,springboks, and kudus .

South AfricaThe host is a crook. When we left i inspected everything and only noticed a broken juice glass. Left it on the counter for the host to see in order to deduct it from the breakage deposit. I even told her that one glass was broken. When i text her enquiring about my money she tells me the drawer has been damaged and a dinner glass is missing meaning i will not be refunded. She is a crook!

South AfricaOven was filthy with old stale food, stunk - I reported it and it was cleaned. Toaster never worked, reported it and nothing done about it. Little careless things not noted by host - bedside light not working, crumbs in drawers, just not quite clean enough in kitchen area. Coffee and tea not refilled and almost empty on arrival, though it is a gesture most hosts make a point of a simple kindness and it makes a big difference. The pool unwelcoming as only on last day the Kreepy was working and started to clear, though we did see the guy each morning there. As for the cleaner on the last day we left she arrived we greeted her and she did not even have the courtesy to say hello!
Location and lay out, had all facilities and felt safe. Easy to have keys ready in doors -quick and glad not to have to chat long to a host after a long drive, often find some hosts mean well but just too much when you arrive, so like this self check in.
