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 AfricaChalet is attached to the main house so privacy and noise from bedrooms etc a problem at times. Lounge was VERY DARK and depressing especially in winter. No fireplace. Cold. We found flow from lounge to pool frustrating and made no sense as the bathroom opens onto pool instead of the lounge. On top of that have to navigate around a tight pole and different floor levels to get to patio which was Irritating. Pool was FREEZING even though the days were hot, and I can tolerate really cold water! Heated pool especially for winter would be nice. I know there would be an expense but if I was owners I would fix the flow from the lounge, which would also bring I more light.
Lovely good quality chalet. Owner was lovely to deal with. Check in was quick and easy.

South AfricaI think the marketing of Zabula under the umbrella of Mabula is confusing, they are not one and the same. To see the big 5 you have to go to Mabula at vast expense.
The location met our expectations, the cottage was well-prepared for our arrival. the appliances were modern and easy to use. Everything was as expected. Thank you

South AfricaThe bathroom window facing the braai area is completely see-through at night. Have to switch the light off when using the bathroom. The couch in the second bedroom is falling apart. Needs replacing. Toilet in the on suite bathroom is loose from the floor/wall. Aircon in main bedroom is dripping a lot of water on the floor. Only one couch in the TV area. Not enough space for all guests (4) to sit. The eating utensils are in a terrible state. Only two bent and blunt steak knives for 4 people.
Beautiful area and very relaxing environment. Pool was very clean (could do with some heating). House was nice and clean. Nice braai area. Kitchen well equipped (except for utensils).

South AfricaLovely place for a family or 2 couples. The wildlife surrounds you while you have the luxury of a comfortable stay with daily cleaning services. Great cycling and hiking routes with lots of activities at the resort. The owner checked in with us from the very first day of our booking online and made sure our needs were met.

South AfricaThere is no power back up and we only had electricty for 3 hours the entire stay. Very hot as air conditioners could not be turned on. The property is joined to another house and lucky or not lucky if you have noisy neighbours which unfortunately we did.
Cute little place. Pool is inviting and overlooking the bush. Some animals stormed past.
