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 AfricaAbsolutely magical location, nestled in the treetops with a magnificent view over the valley towards the mountains. 'Fly me to the Moon' cottage is charming and rustic, and has everything you need for comfort and an enjoyable stay. Even though our stay was in mid-winter the wood-burning stove is very efficient so it was warm and cosy. It's a place to rest and recharge. Loved listening to the birds and gazing at the stars.

NetherlandsAn unforgettable stay at Moonshine Whiskey Creek! We had an absolutely wonderful time at Moonshine Whiskey Creek. Nestled in the heart of nature, this beautiful spot is the perfect mix of rustic charm and cozy comfort. The setting is peaceful and lush — ideal for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. Carol and Petronella were amazing hosts. They made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived, and their warmth and friendliness added a special touch to our stay. You can really tell they care about the place and their guests. The cabin was charming, clean, and thoughtfully put together — cozy in every sense of the word. Whether you’re sipping a morning coffee on the deck or stargazing at night, it’s hard not to fall in love with this place. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind, explore, and enjoy a slice of tranquility in South Africa. We’ll definitely be back!

South AfricaTraffic noise but it’s wonderful that you can’t see any cars.
The cabin on stilts was cozy and charming and the braai area with fairy lights was beautiful. Linens, towels, and robes were lovely. It’s a beautiful setting within the forest.

IcelandIf you are afraid of wilderness it might be not for you. If feels like sleeping in a jungle. Some bugs and insects may show up in in the cabin but nothing harmful. There should be a better net installed around the bed and window because bugs can easily get in there.
The cabin was located in the forest and felt really wild. There were a few hiking trails you can take just from the cabin. We did not expect that some of the would be so wild but we loved it. We didn't have neighbors nearby so it felt really private. The location was convenient, only 15 min driving from Plettenberg Bay. Nearby there are a few sanctuaries with animals worth visiting. Outside of the cabin we had a fire pit. We had a bonfire one night. It was unforgettable.

South AfricaWe had such a beautiful and comfortable stay—truly a hidden gem set in nature. The accommodation was cosy, especially with the fireplace, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We were pleasantly surprised to find electric blankets too, which made the chilly night so much more comfortable. It was lovely in every way, and we’ll definitely be back again!

United KingdomA lovely house in the trees, with a view. Quiet, cosy, stylish and comfortable. Great veranda to sit out on, and eat or read. Very convenient for the beautiful Garden Route. We wish we could have stayed longer. All the houses on the property are well separated from each other and not overlooked.

South AfricaBeautiful accommodation nicely situated in the Crags close to all the animal attractions. We stayed in the Vervet suit which was beautifully decorated and had a lovely balcony overlooking the forest with a lounge suite, table and gas braai. The kids loved the built in bunk beds. Absolutely loved our stay there.

South AfricaTucked away in the mountains, Moonshine on Whiskey Creek is a true gem. The setting is stunning with charming cabins that offer all the comforts of home, and then some. If you love nature, the peaceful forest trail leading to the waterfall and lake is a highlight as well as a stunning pool and play area for the littlies. The views are spectacular, making it hard to leave the porch. The hosts were top class, thoughtful and attentive, even checking ahead of time with perfect directions. To top it off the bed was incredibly comfy and wifi exemplary. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway.

South AfricaTotally my fault, I know, but it wasn't in Nature's Valley, as we had planned. Therefore, our activities were limited to the hiking trail on the property. The only other complaint I have is that the property is close to the N2, so you hear vehicles at the cottage.
The cottage was well equipped and very neat. The view of the valley through the trees was incredible. There was also a cute braai area with string lights and two chairs (I wish we packed some meat). There is also a pool and an awesome hike down to a waterfall.
