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 AfricaI found the guests in the hallways made Alot of noise. With the bathroom door open the room felt very cramped. TV channels were total waste rather remove the TV, or allow streaming channels.
Room was great, however the shower could have been a bit bigger. View was great

South AfricaSome staff wasn't very helpful. Others went above and beyond. Would be nice to have a place where we can leave boats. There was a group booking with people attending a conference - they got quite rowdy the 1st night. Management quickly intervened, however, next morning breakfast was not enough when we went. Couldn't wait as we had to get to event.
We attended the Lowveld Canoe Marathon (Lowveld Canoe Club). It's right across the property. It was great to have our support crew able to support us from the venue where we stayed, allowing partners to sleep in, but still enjoy our race.

EswatiniThe staff isn’t very professional. The person who checked us in was clearly new and wasn’t sure about how the payment should happen since i booked through Booking.com. One less room than my booking was allocated to us when we got there and we were given a room that must have been allocated to someone else because someone entered that room in the early morning while it was still occupied by us.
The place itself is very pretty with a rustic aesthetic. The location isn’t too far and is surrounded by other accommodations and the surroundings are beautiful.

South AfricaThe hotel waiters at breakfast were not friendly at all. It was like they were forced to wake up and serve customers. These ladies need to work on their customer service skills. Then - We were given a faulty paddle boat, it started accumulating water on our way back, and we were sunken wet due to it nose diving with us in it. There was no one around to help and my partner and I had to figure a way to swim offshore pulling the boat with our hands and finally managed to drain the water out with the help of our fellow guests who were also paddling. It was an unpleasant experience for all of us.
The tranquility around the garden and the lake was just breathtaking. The chef was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our breakfast for both days.

Mozambiqueit was a lovely experience! The location and view were absolutely stunning, making it a perfect getaway. I also think you should promote water sports more; it would be a fantastic addition to an already great stay! Highly recommend it!
I recently stayed at Pine Lake Inn in White River, and it was a wonderful experience! The breakfast was delicious, and I really appreciated the calm atmosphere. The silence from traffic made for a peaceful stay. Highly recommend it!

South AfricaThe pillow, the overall shabbiness and datedness of the rooms, eg booking toilet seat, mould on the bathroom ceiling, TV limited to one channel, no fridge in room, icky carpets. The Inn doesn't compare favourably with, for example, the Protea Marriott Hotel in Mbombela.
