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 only thing I did not like was leaving!
If you're looking for AMAZING hospitality, great location and attentive but not overbearing hosts, then look no further than Inkungu. I usually don't repeat establishments but Inkungu is one I would gladly stay at again.

South AfricaKerry and Anton are wonderfully warm and entertaining hosts. After staying at numerous spots in the Drakensberg, I can confidently say that this is now my go to place. Spacious and comfortable lodging with good quality toiletries(a measure of a high standard) attentive and discreet housekeeping, a breathtaking view and ideally positioned near all my favorite spots in the Berg. And the food! From breakfast to dinner, it was all delicious.

On arrival we were offered an upgrade to a suite (free), which was well equipped for our needs. Well located property with really pretty, well maintained garden areas. There is an infinity pool for residents’ use. The lodge itself is very impressive with some great features, including a thatched roof. As part of our deal, breakfast was included, but we also to chose to dine there each evening of our stay. There was a good choice of cold and hot food items for breakfast. Evening meals were good (hence we ate there each night !) and there were choices available. Restaurant Manageress, Princess, was welcoming. We saw a bit of the owners, Kerry, Ant & Ryan who were very friendly, offering up suggestions for things to do during our stay. Overall a great stay in the Drakensberg.

Amazing part of the world; the drive there wasn't a problem. The team were in constant communication from midday to check when we will be arriving and if we would be having dinner at the lodge. We arrived in the evening and Check in was a breeze. We really enjoyed the dinner; I highly recommend eating there. The same with breakfast; we had an amazing buffet breakfast; compliments to the chefs. The lodge is well kept with a nice balcony overlooking the mountains.

South AfricaHonestly can’t think of anything major that I didn’t like, I suppose some people would prefer it if they had wifi for guests, but I also think they might be a conscious choice to keep guests more in the moment, instead of on their phones & laptops
Beautiful, quiet with amazing views of the mountains

Breakfast was 5 star and setting was excellent. The decor is stylish with several lounges to relax in. The beautiful royal sets of fine tea cups in rooms was something never seen before. The infinity pool and beautifully kept gardens added to the overall experience of tranquility.
