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 AfricaThe facilities are clean on first glance but when you zoom in you find that the is dust on the door frames, the bedsheet in our room was turned inside out and the continental pillows had smudging on it. The shower drain in room 5 clogs and takes a while to drain the water. The doors make a lot of noise.
The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful ,patient and attentive. The place is beautiful and peaceful.

South AfricaThe bed sheets were stained prior to our visit. There were no present glasses or plates in rooms. The service for waiting to go to our rooms was lengthy and should've been done prior to our arrival.
The area was pleasent and safe and easy to reach. The access to stores was great and the staff were incredibly friendly too.

South AfricaThe room had a window facing out to the dinning area which is very inconvenient and lack of planning from the guest house. Because the place is busy through the day and night, people booking for an hour and leaving. So it's very noisy from the ins and outs, and staff too is always making noise, you can't get peace of mind. Secondly the aircons did not work, they had to call out the technician the following day to come fix them after i complained that it was extremely cold and i had a terrible flu unfortunately on the trip.
The bathroom was nice. Very modern look on the place itself. Good wifi

South AfricaI perceived a lack of proper training especially with the lady who welcomed me at the property. She asked if I had booked. I told her yes and she took the phone to confirm. She took much longer than was needed to go through confirmation. Her feedback really irritated me. She giggled and asked do you know what room did you book? Her gesture indicated that I a bit of a fool to have booked that particular room. I asked to see the room. And it was lovely ,the only challenge was common bathroom. I ended up occupying another room. I did find it strange that the staff is not allowed to tell their name.
Location is great beds are very comfortable. Linen was absolutely clean

South AfricaNo dining room so breakfast is brought to your room, no condiments served with breakfast, no table in room to eat on. Had to ask for a kettle, no bath mat for the shower so floor gets wet and tiles are slippery. A bath mat was given after asking for it, had to ask for toilet paper at reception, room was not serviced on the second day, bottled water not replenished.
Room was clean and value for money.
