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 AfricaThe facility was nothing like the foto's on booking.com. The place was neclegted, no water, at first, no warm water, no towels, no cellphone coverage or wifi, no lights outside the chalet, staff couldn't answer easy questions like what's on the menu, provision of towels or coffee station. Facility was not yet ready to accommodate guests!
Deer around the chalet.

South AfricaMy concerns and distaste was the party that went on till 1:30am from Friday night. The music was too loud, the people at the party were very drunk and we're not guests but rather staff. We couldn't sleep so we thought we could play pool but the staff had taken the pool table and we had to leave. There were small children in the bar and as we sat and watched there were more and more people coming to the party and they were from outside. My boyfriend and I decided to go back to our chalet as we didn't like the behavior of the men towards myself and decided to leave before there was any problems. That set us off the evenings becoz it was not a pretty or welcoming site. The staff was even making use of the kitchen but it was not opened to the guests. The facilties that are advertised were not available. The pool was not filled and the heated pool was not turned on. There was nothing to do if we had brought our kids. There were insects continuously falling from the thatch roof onto our bed. And spiders that bit my boyfriend a few times. There was too many flies that we could not control and even when we were eating. Non of the activities that were promised were actually available. But for me it was not having the heated pool to swim in. Chantal did try her best to make us as comfortable as possible but I feel like we didn't get was we paid for. The roads were terrible and we scraped our car quiet a few times and some roads were water logged and the terrain damaged our suspension. There needs to be something done for easier and safer access to the lodge. I would not use my car again to a place like this.
The host Chantel and durong were amazing. The breakfast was well catered. The environment was amazing. We had everything we needed. Having such a warm host made our stay memorable and made us feel like we were with friends. Chantal was a host that we never experienced before. She was always adding her personal touch that made us feel like family rather than guests. Durong went the extra mile with the personal touches that I've never experienced before. We were really sad to leave.

South AfricaThe experience of this hotel is very good. We spent two unforgettable nights here. The manager arranged rooms close to each other for us. The bedding in the room and the towels in the bathroom are all new. The most important thing is that there is a smart toilet in the bathroom. The breakfast is also a British breakfast. During the BBQ in the evening, the manager sent everyone fruits and salads, arranged a party in the evening, and specially arranged security patrols.
