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 AfricaAfter a long drive, I found Karoo Nest very welcoming! It is very neat.The kitchen is well equipped and everything you need for a braai is supplied. They even have braai packs available. I really appreciated the communications from the host. My booking was changed without any hazzles and I was notified of an event that took place the evening of my stay. I think the name suits the place beautifully!

South AfricaOn arrival we were met by a few local kids begging at our window while waiting outside the gate. There were no issues, nothing to do with the property, but just be careful in the town.
Amazing hosts, Roger is very welcoming. Left us braai wood and fire starters and the braai packs were a great touch. The outside area is lovely and the apartment was very clean and well looked after.

South AfricaIt was close to everything. Although it was next to the owners we were never in each others space. Shirley and Roger quietly assisted where ever they could and are super friendly and helpfull hosts. We will definitely use them again. It is quiet and tranquil. The outaide area of our unit had the most gorgeous succulants. On the day of our arrival we were running late and Shirley arranged 3 braaipacks to be placed in our fridge, together with food, firelighters and matches that were waiting at the braai for us. With complementary port. Super comfortable and well worth it. Did not want to come home. Thank you Shirley and Roger for you hospitality.

GermanySitting on the stoep outside the room the aircon of the main house was loudly running just a few meters away. In room Info it says that they want to minimize contact with guests, strange. Bedding is synthetic, had to ask for cotton pillow case in 30plus degree weather.
The room was ok, the succulent garden interesting

South AfricaOverall, this accommodation is good value for money. It is neat and clean, and it gave us a typical Calitzdorp karoo town experience. It is centrally located and within walking distance, to most places we wanted to visit. The many little extras [for example, wood, lighters for braai, good complimentary port wine, and more] were quite nice.
