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):
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.
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.).

South AfricaThe Bookings.com add advertised it as a 3 bedroom unit. There actually aren't any 3 Bedroom units at all. We were a group of 5 and 3 beds would have been ideal. The unit doesn't even have a living room area. Only two rooms with en suite bathrooms and central kitchen.
Lovely setting and clean units.

South AfricaWell, it would better to make the breakfast as bed and breakfast and include it in the price. Just a suggestion as well to consider in future, offer child care play sessions and entertainment to give parents time to connect.
The shower outside was the best experienced. The family enjoyed it and it’s unique.

South AfricaRelatively close to Hammanskraal so you could hear the city noises when you were outside the room. But inside was fine ☺️
Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean, love the touch of the outdoor shower. Kitchen was small but had everything you’d need.

South AfricaBooking - there was a double booking and we had to state numerous times that we didn't want a baby cot. Game drive didn't meet our expectations. Game ranger (Goodman) not very efficient.

South AfricaSadly breakfast was a dissaster, things missing, 3 meals finished before the 4th came along, toast only toasted on one side, but to be fair, they did refund some of the cost and offered free coffee. Be carefull if you want to go into the reserve as a self drive, the extra costs not shown in the booking and not the fault of the property was over R800 extra to take the bakkie and 4 people in for the two days, I do think the prices for the accomodation is high considering the age of the property and what the accomodation offers, there are better deals to be had.
The location is very good, the rooms are clean, but very rustic and old, but everything worked and it was comfortable. Resteraunt was cosy and food was good value for money. Staff are friendly and it would seem nothing is too much trouble. There looks to be a lot of changes and upgrades happening or planned and I would go again, but note, it is only due to its locatation to the reserve.

South AfricaThe ladies that clean literally just wipe the floor with the mop, no wiping of basins, toilet, etc. So they can greatly improve there.
