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 AfricaComment: there are coffee, tea, sugar in the room. The coffee was filter, but with no plunger. I had to go find one late the evening where we had breakfast. Would suggest normal coffee in the room, or a plunger.
Location was perfect - easy to reach from OR Tambo on the R21 and as we needed to be at UNISA the property was absolutely perfectly located.

Great stay, warm room, good breakfast. The shower was good! Clean rooms and host was welcoming and made me feel free and at home. The total stay was just unforgettable and will come again and recommend. The place is conveniently located, close to the city, UNISA main campus and public transport hubs.

South AfricaA stream extractor could help out to some extend since if one takes shower, the room could at times be filled by steam.
Great breakfast and comfortable room - there were additional blankets provided which helped a lot especially in this winter. In a addition to the blankets an electrical blanket was available too. The shower was excellent, when travelling i like showring and when the shower room, head and water is great, it makes me highly recommend and come again. Very good shower for those who love to take showers.

This accommodation is centrally located, very close to UNISA and the city centre which makes it easy to move around. The place is in a safe area, and access is controlled by a gate with remote. They provided heaters and extra blankets especially during this winter cold month. Breakfast was good and was varied as days progressed unlike to have the same meal all the time. The host is very well-coming, and you could get any help at any time, thank you so much for making my stay memorable, I will highly recommend and stay again whenever i am back in Muckleneuk

South AfricaThey could just try to change or fix the air conditioner in room 1 because it was not strong enough as it was cold but it was not bad because it was working, just that it was not strong
The receptionist was super nice and she kept on checking up on us to see if we were fine. She was really nice, and we even forgot to ask for her name, but I would definitely go back because of her. Our Stay was super short and will definitely be coming back.

BelgiumWe had two rooms, and one was without A/C (read heating)
The staff manager Ingrid was just fantastic. Whem mailing her one day in advance to have a township visit, she organised a visit to her previous township. This was so cool, interesting, especially the things we would never have seen with a tourist organisation. Thank you so much Ingrid. We ❤️ you! Also the manor was a fantastic house with several different rooms, cosy and very nice.
