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 AfricaWe experienced quite a lot of power outages, where the power would go on and off continuously throughout the day. But that wasn’t solely happening to our house alone, it was happening to the whole of Zebula so I couldn’t exactly say it was a fault of the house or the owner.
I really loved everything about the house, from how welcoming the lounge and chilling area is to the jacuzzi and the pool. I really loved the rooms as well, they were very cozy and the best were very comfortable!

South AfricaI personally didn't like the entrance fee of R150 which I think as residents we should not have paid on it was supposed to be included in our booking.
I've like the environment and the children enjoyed everything and also our family friends appreciate d the outing.

South AfricaElectricity was a challenge. We found ourselves enter the property whilst it was dark and outside of load shedding schedule. Woke up to no electricity on Saturday, also outside of load shedding electricity. Appreciate this is outside of the owners control - perhaps consideration can be given for a generator.
A beautiful, spacious home located in a tranquil Game Reserve located in the Limpopo Province.

South AfricaLoad shedding was a mess- Stage 6 was 4 hours long so we lost out on alot of time due to that. A Generator could have gone a long way in alleviating that pain but its not critical
Everything was perfect it is a great setup and very spacious for all my family we enjoyed it thoroughly and will definitely come back because everything was found at the property and we had great room service with Patricia

South AfricaThe power outages around Zebula. Nothing to do with the house, but the area was faulty during our stay, which really affected our stay a lot as we spent 12+ hours without stable power.. The host was there to give updates. Besides that, the house has nothing wrong for me to say about.
The view all around the house is exceptional. The host is just always a text away when you need her. Really reassuring in times of need. One of the best places I've ever visited. I feel like I cheated coz I paid wat too little for what we got.
