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 AfricaThe wood was not included. We used (bought) 2 bags of wood for the hot tub, but we only got it to lukewarm.
There was a code on the gate, then we checked ourselves in. The keys were in the door. No people around which was fantastic, only girafs, zebras and bucks. Spacious bedrooms, modern bathrooms, lots of cutlery and crockery in the kitchen. We were 4 adults but even for 6 or 8 adults there would have been plenty of space.

We just love that we can relax and enjoy some great family downtime away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The house has everything you need and the excitement of seeing the wildlife close up as you braai or from the hot tub is very special.

South AfricaNothing it was all great - thank you
A wonderful stay on a comfortable and well equipped guest farm. The wildlife was incredible, especially on our last night where the giraffe came so close to the house, the star gazing from the comfort of the wood burning hot tub and the hiking to the mountain streams were all highlights. We loved the stay and can’t wait to go back.

South AfricaThe price of the wood was a bit steep, and only 1 bag of complimentary wood provided was a bit disappointing when you wanted to braai, especially if you're staying for more than one night. And we also wanted to light the hot tub, and 1 bag of wood wasn't enough to get it properly heated. Also take the map for the 4x4 route, we didn't take it with and ended up on a very difficult road to navigate up the mountain and we're not sure if we're going to make it back down in one piece.
The solitude was great and stunning views. I don't think I've ever seen so many stars at night. Loved watching the animals as well.

GermanyIt was a wonderful stay at this exquisite lodge! It was such an experience to stay alone on this huge farm with the animals - Giraffes, Elands, Springbok, Ostrich. It is not so easy to get around with a 2x4 car, but we loved walking around! Everything in the house is best quality, superclean, luxurious. There were even fresh flowers for us:) Thank you!

South AfricaWe really do not have any complaints. Everything was great!! Would have loved to stay longer.
The endless beautiful views from every window and every part of the lovely stoep was so good for our souls! The kids loved the jacuzzi and exploring the area and everybody marvelled at all the wildlife. The house was not only clean and comfortable, there was also such attention to detail that you felt so spoiled! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and braai.

South AfricaBeautiful lodging with attention to detail make this a special place. A very spacious house with wrap around veranda. Spotlessly clean with complimentary fresh flowers in the living area, rusks and coffee. Big, fully equipped kitchen. The game farm is set against one mountain range with a view over another. We enjoyed game and bird viewing on foot. The quests to the lodge are the only occupants on the farm. The night skies as only in the Karoo. We will be back

It was one of the best properties we stayed in so far. Magical place, having all the animals just some meters away from you. We didn't need to drive around at all. The giraffes were checking on us daily. :) The house itself is huge and has everything one may need and beyond. Easy accessible with 2x4. So don't hesitate to book.

South AfricaThe isolation and privacy was just incredible. T here wasn't a house or person in site. It felt like true freedom... the house is gorgeous, clean and you want for nothing. The hosts have really thought of everything. As a Couples getaway it was paradise. We were so lucky, going for a short sunset drive on the farm, we were suddenly faced with giraffes, a variety of deer, buck and antelope, one zebra who is definitely a buck in his eyes as he cruises with the herd everywhere they go. We saw wildebeest, ostrich, a variety of birds and more. It was more than we ever expected. Stunning...
