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...).

Hi we stayed here for one night after a flight from London. We really enjoyed staying here. It’s like a little oasis around 15-20mins from the airport. It’s safe and well maintained. There is a small parcel of land and I see some ibis/ebis birds, tortoise and a gems bock. They have a lovely friendly dog called whisky too! Davide and his wife really make you feel so welcome and they were kind and gave us a lift to the mall. Which is around 500m or so from the property and we walked back. We took the half board option and Davide built us a fire as well as cooked us a braai with a huge steak and delicious lamb. Our room no.6 was on the ground floor and a separate chalet style. It was comfortable and had everything we needed as well as a big outdoor space outside the room and multiple areas around the property. Great place to stay. Would definitely recommend staying here rather than one of the big hotels near the airport.

South Africawith the thatch roofs, it was not very sound proof being so close to the main road. although the shower was warm, it would have been a tad better if it were able to be warmer since i travelled in winter. other than that it was perfect.
the stay was excellent. it was close to where i needed to go for work so the locale was perfect. it was a literal slice of bushveld in the middle of the hustle and bustle of joburg. the owner David was the perfect host and was super accommodating. the bed was impressively comfortable!!

South AfricaNo complaints, we loved it all.
The Lodge is beautiful and while there, you completely forget that you're in the city, which we loved. David, our host, was very friendly and accommodating. The cottage was cosy, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We especially loved the fireplace and love spending the evenings infront of it watching movies - great, since the weather was freezing!

FranceThis lodge, only a few mins away from Jo'burg is a very peaceful place. You would not expect to find such a place within a city, but here it is. I enjoyed everything about it. A little piece of nature and of the bush in the city. The owner David is lovely, welcoming, always willing to help. very nice service and team working there. I totally recommend this place. And feel free to ask them about the tours they can offer !

United KingdomThere is a lot of shade but sunny areas too. This would suit the majority of guests though.
This place is a gem. The lush surroundings make you feel as if you are way out in the countryside but in reality it's just a few miles from the city. David has created a tropical paradise, along with his team they went above and beyond all our expectations. The team are friendly, warm and welcoming. We would love to go back. If you are looking for somewhere to stay for a rejuvenating break, or just an airport stop over - I urge you to book and enjoy this beautiful Eden.
