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...).

NetherlandsThe shower door is very low (1.70m). Hit my head on it twice unfortunately.
All was good at the Ruby Stone Hotel. Located in a safe area close to the shopping malls. Rooms are not super modern but clean and comfortable. Breakfast is good and staff was friendly. Plenty of parking. Would stay again.

South AfricaNo milk provided, they leave coffee and tea but that's all.
This is EXACTLY what a traveler needs, a clean place to overnight, inhouse restaurant, loads of room, HUGE bed, just awesome! Very accommodating staff as well, loads of parking, small shopping centre just around the corner, one of the better neighborhoods in Polokwane.

South AfricaThe round table in the room, chairs, desk and TV might need a bit of an upgrade but overall, it was not bad.
Very nice place with friendly staff. I was upgraded to the executive suite which was a huge spoil. I had dinner there and the food was absolutely amazing and very well priced. The breakfast was great! Nice and clean with very comfortable bed.

South AfricaI believe there is room for improvement with regards to cleanliness. I slept in sheets that had a few dirt marks, thankfully they did not have any smell. I had to wait for hot water in the morning, it took about 2 hours from 10 to get warm water and it wasn’t that warm, it soon got cold quickly.
I very much enjoyed the breakfast, balanced meal with fresh veggies and the taste was fantastic. I had an early leave and the staff was nice enough to make a takeaway for me, very much appreciated that.

South AfricaLittle maintenance not kept up to date, eg bathroom towel rail in number 16 needs to be fixed, water not flowing out in shower in number 12, toilet cistern/pan shaky in number 13. Yeah, i am a frequent guest. The exit gate is a bit dodgy as you need to park too close to the exit button. Maybe remotes for each guest may help. Hotel ran out of butter for 2 days, and when stock came in on the third day, it was margarine and not butter. The breakfast is good ... i am a vegetarian so I skipped the traditional English breakfast.....could do with a better quality of omelette.
Nice large rooms, cleaned daily.

South AfricaHousekeeping could be better (cleaner), we had a similar issue during our previous stay. Sadly the room my colleague was in had cockroaches. :( Again, housekeeping could have informed the owners/management of the issue so fumigation is arranged. You guys have a lovely establishment; your weakest link is housekeeping.
Rooms are spacious and beds very comfortable. The breakfast is also quite nice. We requested vegan breakfast for my colleague, and it was arranged accordingly.
