How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewThe breakfast was amazing. I enjoyed trying new meals. The location is perfect for a get away. We were celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary and the service we received from all staff members was amazing. The game drive, the spa treatment - it was a good experience. The surprise for our anniversary was the cherry on top.
We loved everything about Intle. We will come back.

Verified reviewWe had booked in June 2024 already. The day before we were to go to Intle, they phoned and said they had made a mistake, and put our booking for 2025. And they had booked someone else in the Presidential Suite, so they couldn't let us stay there. What made me the angriest was I made the booking first, but because the other people were staying there longer, they let them stay there. We had to look for other accommodation. Intle did suggest their sister hotel in East London, but it is too far away. Look, I know mistakes can happen, but like I said, I made the booking first. So isn't it supposed to be first come, first serve?!? I am very disgusted with Intle Boutique Hotel, and won't be going there at all.

Verified reviewThe overall experience was great. Views were amazing and staff were friendly. The place was nice and clean.
Small things needed a bit of attention and a closer eye for detail. Door did not close properly and there was a gap. Aircon gave hassles, glass in the shower (bottles were slippery)

Verified reviewWell what I can say this hotel is the best hotel we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in numerous hotels around the world over the years. We were welcomed to this hotel as if we were family not hotel guests. A beautiful touch was the hot chocolates waiting for us when we arrived such a beautiful touch! The hotel manager John is outstanding at his job and couldn’t do enough to make our stay any better! John brought us on a game drive in the morning and it was incredible to see the giraffes and Zebras roaming around the hotel grounds. My husband and I then went to have massages in the spa which were absolutely incredible and such a relaxing experience. The food at the hotel was world class absolutely outstanding. Each and every member of staff are friendly and so accommodating. Honestly cannot recommend this hotel enough it’s absolutely incredible. It’s just the most beautiful hotel in the most incredible environment. The rooms are absolutely incredible with a view of the most beautiful sunset! Please book this hotel you will not be disappointed will definitely return if we come back to South Africa. Thank you so much John and to your incredible team outstanding service.

Verified reviewBeautiful accommodation, from the little details (like hot chocolates on arrival), homemade biscuits in the room to the incredibly friendly and enthusiastic staff. We loved seeing giraffe from the balcony on the room. We only stayed for one night but regretted not having longer.
Food was a bit average. Limited menu and what did come out was very simple, and a bit disappointing for a five star hotel. Breakfast, however was better.

Verified reviewThe views from the property are out of this world, there’s always something to look forward to but nothing beats the sunsets at the pool area. Will definitely be back again.
