How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores weβve received and divide that total by the number of review scores weβve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate βsubscoresβ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so thereβs no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didnβt actually stay there. To edit a review youβve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we wonβt display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once theyβre 36 months old β or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether itβs just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when weβve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please donβt include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.comβs 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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Some fix up is needed. Tap in the bathroom was broken, and so was the toilet seat. Pots were old, water in the shower didn't have much flow.

Verified reviewLocation superb, easy access. Clean. In terms of value for money, it surpasses others. Most probably the ideal summer place.
For winter could use some mats next to the bed or by the bathroom to make the place feel cozier. To break up all the tiles in this particular unit. Other than that, great!
Good day Patron, Thank you for the positive feed back. We will take into consideration your suggestion of putting in some mats to help beat the cold and make our units cozier... Regards, Management

Verified reviewThe Cleaning Staff do a fantastic job. It was super clean. Very good quality cotton sheets and bedding, with top sheets which is a very good plus. Very good quality towels. Comfortable beds.
The cleaning staff appear to be holding this place together, however management or lack of it and lack of maintenenace is letting it down. You can see it was once well managed and loved, but sadly not now. The tap mixer in the one room fell over, the basin drain was blocked. The shower drain in the family unit had no cover, so one stared down a hole. The mould in the silicone edging around showers glass and the edging on the bath needs to be replaced, prefereably with a dark silicone rather than white silicone. The manager was not aware of our booking, and was then on the back foot, but gave us an extra room because the beds were not arranged. However this room had the blocked basin drain and the basin tap that fell over when trying to use it. The garden needs to be cleaned up and plants thinned out, it has an overgrown unloved look to it. The small black car in the carpark area that has had its door crow-barred or something is unsightly, and its been sitting there for months and months, perhaps move it into the lock up garage, as it give the place an odd feel. The pool area was unswept, and looked like it had been forgotten, my children were too scared to go to it, because of how it looked. The kitchen cupboards and bathroom basin cupboards all have moisture issues where the mdf wood has expanded, this could be trimmed off and metal feet put onto the units with little expense but a better visual impact to the visitor. The clear roof above the family unit has been broken, but someone has put a faux grass garden matt over part of the hole above the door??? why not just remove the broken plastic roof and make an alternative plan, it is unsightly. A lot can be done, that would not cost a lot of money, just a bit of elbow grease from a person not scared of a bit of work. I have gone into detail, but I felt really sorry for this place, because it really has a lot of potential that is being abused by bad management.

Verified reviewThe place looked amazing and relaxing, wish we could've stayed for 1 more day. The braai area was well prepared and swimming pool clean. We would definitely go back as our time was limited due to the activities we had to attend
There was not enough equipment for putting our meat after braaing and for making breakfast, please add big bowls and plastic containers, pans, jugs etc.

Verified reviewThe location and guesthouse as a whole is stunning! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful
I specifically booked here for the aircon, which was not in the bedroom but the lounge. The listing didn't specify where the aircon was, so it is on me to assume it was available throughout the unit. Not having aircon in the bedroom, where I wanted it, made my stay incredibly uncomfortable. The unit we were in wasn't as private as I would have liked it to be - the passage from the bedroom/lounge to the bathroom has a large window without blinds or curtains. Anyone from the parking lot could have looked in at the wrong moment, making it uncomfortable.
