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...).

AustriaThe house has only one bathroom.
It’s a nice location and beautiful house for a group. Although not worth it for more than 3 people as it has only one bathroom.

South AfricaMy booking was for Unit 48, but we were given Unit 2. There was nothing wrong with the unit but this was not what we booked for. The facilities listed a dishwasher and ironing facilities, none of which I could find in the unit. I also queried if it was possible to drop off our luggage and food a bit earlier, but was told that the unit would not be ready. The luggage and food stayed in the car in the sun for the day until we were able to check in around 18h00.
Unfortunately, our stay was short (only one night), but the location was perfect, as our client was just up the road. We also ate at the Maroela Bar and could walk across the road to get there. No need to drive. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable.

MalaysiaWe were contacted after check-out and were told that a few towels had "gone missing". Would be nice if the management made sure that everything was in place and not actually missing before asking us in that manner.
Absolutely loved this unit (No.48). It was spacious & comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen & washing machine. Plenty of restaurants around & a supermarket too. It was a wonderful place to catch some rest after a tiring couple of days in the park.

South AfricaJust one thing, we have been living with loadshedding for a very long time, and I would suggest being more prepared, more than candles. Some emergency lights in the living area would have been sufficient enough.
Apart from the one negative, it is still one of the best places to overnight in Hoedspruit.

South AfricaIt was not that easy to find the booking-in counter. Only the 2 x downstairs bedrooms had air-conditioning in. The 3rd bedroom in the loft was extremely warm without an air-conditioner and the 2 x people had to eventually sleep downstairs in the lounge under a fan, but it was extremely hot. The lounge also did not have an Air-conditioner. Only one bathroom to share between 6 people (3 x bedrooms). No separate toilet. Wasn't what we expected for a family of 6.
Security was good (inside security complex), safe close parking infront of the unit.
