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 AfricaThere was miscommunication in payment channels which soured our experience. The booking was made on booking.com but the establishment requested a deposit and we were subsequently charged the full amount by booking.com. The refund process to correct the overcharge is inconvenient and protracted.
The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the breakfast and the dinners very much. The rooms were comfortable and we had good interaction with nature and animals. The lounge was great.

South AfricaWindows of the unit were all locked. We experienced very hot weather and would have liked the cool night air and sounds of the bush in the unit. We understand that there is a problem with monkeys entering through the windows, but keys could be made available to guests. Variety of game is limited.
Meal service was excellent, and the bonus of meeting the chef was that breakfast was catered to each individual guest's request. Outside seating at unit was comfortable and gave the opportunity to enjoy the bush.

Staff were excellent, very helpful and informative. They made us feel very welcome. Lovely setting. Food was excellent. We wished we could have stayed longer but had already organised our itinerary for next 3 weeks driving around kruger national park. We would recommend Moholoholo to anyone who wanted an introduction to safari life.

South AfricaThe rooms are in serious need of maintenance. Huge cracks in the walls. Not sure if it is because of subsidence or just bad construction. It can also do with a fresh coat of paint. Maybe they can approach a cell phone service provider to put up an amplifier to improve the reception in the rooms.
It is a beautiful setting, just a pity that there is no cell phone service in the rooms. The rooms are lovely and spacious and the bathroom is absolutely stunning. The bed was nice and big. The room was tidy and clean.
