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 AfricaWe arrived and our room was ready, even though we were early. It was a cool, comfortable room with everything we needed for our adventure bike trip. We met up with the hosts and they showed us all the things to do in the area. Amazing scent of the yesterday, today and tomorrow flowing through the garden. It was peaceful and quiet.

South AfricaA few shelves or a cupboard for clothes would be a good idea
Excellent location. We also really appreciated the room upgrade. Blue Shutter is well looked after and although it's just a road up from the main town- its quiet and peaceful.

South AfricaWe didn’t get to experience the whole place as there was a private function in the main house, however Charmaine was kind enough to communicate that to us before we arrived. The room we got was beautiful and the bed very comfortable however, I was not comfortable with the toilet/ bathroom that was literally by the bed side with no wall separating the bathroom/ toilet and the bedroom. I’d prefer a different room next time.
The location- The guest house is easily accessible and close to a lot of amenities. The guest house- The place was very clean and aesthetically pleasing, the pictures honestly don’t do it justice. The host- Our host Charmaine is a very good host who made us feel right at home. She also recommended some of the local places we can try in the area which we all thoroughly enjoyed.

South AfricaWe had a wonderful quiet stay but I am afraid that it could get noisy when all the rooms are booked. We only had one other couple staying and we could hear them around the house even when they tried to be as quiet as possible.
Rooms are luxurious and tastefully decorated and feel like a five star hotel room. All amenities are provided like an in room coffee station even bottled water, a cooldrink and a chocolate. There is a pool and a gym on the property. It’s located on a quiet street, walking distance from the main street where all the shops and restaurants are. We were welcomed by the friendly owners who communicated with us throughout the time from booking and aftercare. We had a great stay and will definitely book here again.

Our bathroom was amazing with a big shower and lots of space. We appreciated all the small touches hat made us feel welcome like the heated towel rail, the water and drinks in the fridge. Also loved the beatifully furnished spacious shared spaces.

South AfricaThe only thing I did not like was having to leave. I enjoyed every moment of my stay.
Our stay was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness by the wonderful hosts, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The rooms were beautifully designed, with a perfect blend of aesthetics and comfort. The cleanliness of the entire property, including the well-maintained pool, was truly impressive. One of the highlights of our stay was the peaceful and serene natural surroundings. Waking up to the sounds of nature, going for a walk/run and enjoying the fresh air was an absolute delight. It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind, and escape the hustle of everyday life. We can’t wait to visit again!

PolandHonestly, there were no drawbacks.
The house is superbly located, in the center of Haenertsburg. Hosts responsive, communicative and helpful. The property itself is very clean, designed in a mindful way, elegant. We liked it very much. You will find everything you need there; private bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, lounge with TV and tea/coffee facilities, swimming pool, braai area, parking and even company of wonderful ibis birds that love to stroll in the garden. We will definitely be coming back, when visiting Haenertsburg again.
