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 AfricaUnfortunately part of our stay we were looking forward to was the Hot Tub - Upon opening and removing the sail ready to climb in the water was extremely dirty with lots of dead insects including live larva worms inside the water - Unfortunately because of this there were an abundance of flies circulating our outside area on the deck which caused the flies to alao enter the dome itself, at one point we could count about over 20 flies - The insect repellant we had to finish to eventually get all the flies killed and had to keep our door shut. This left quiet a damper on this beautiful spot.
Beautiful location and experience.

South AfricaIt was raining on arrival so the drive in was slippery, and road was not to pleasant. I also felt for the price we paid all should have been inclusive, any activity like doing a hike was extra.
Absolute awesome location and setting with privacy and great food. We were blessed to have a full moon during our stay which was supa awesome.

United KingdomOnly suggestion would maybe provide a small net to scoop up any creepy crawlies that are in the hot tub before one gets in as I did notice a couple.
Location. Location. Location. We have never stayed in a more idyllic place. The dome is a fully kitted out ecolodge with some of the most amazing views of the sea during the day, sunset at dusk and then the stars at night. It is so private you cannot hear anything apart from the sound of the sea crashing and the wildlife in the trees. It has an AC unit so despite being a glass dome doesn't get too hot. It has a smart TV that comes out from the end of the bed, so you can snuggle up at night and watch a movie. It has a BBQ and picnic Braai hampers are provided on request so you can BBQ whilst watching the sun go down. We didn't use the hot tub because it was too warm but could imagine this would be lovely in the cooler months.

South AfricaWe were so fortunate. We booked one night. We arrived on a sunny day. The views were amazing. I loved driving the golf cart. What fun. The monkeys stole my chips while I was in the toilet, but I got to see them up close. I did feel a bit intimidated. I also enjoyed the heated hot tub on the deck.

South AfricaThe hottub wasn't cleaned. Was filled with brown water and dead insects. Looks like it hasn't been cleaned out for a while. We ended up not using it. Paying close to 7k per night, I would expect the hottub to be filled with clean water after every stay. We received that service from KolKol at a R2200 per night rate. I didn't make a fuz about it, but some people would be extremely disappointed.
The view and privacy!

South AfricaUnderstand that water is from a borehole, having murky/muddy water in the hot tub was not ideal for us. Hot tub also didn't seem to get to our desired temperature. We received our room service about an hour late.
Amazing views, we were blown away with everything regarding the booking. It is well deigned, with thought taken into account in every small detail. The service was exceptional by the staff and breakfast was great. Bonus was that we saw two wales playing close to the shore while relaxing on our deck!! Was definitely worth the money, would highly recommend.

South AfricaOutside hot tub was not really working, but I am sure if we raised the concern to the team they would have attended to it immediately.
Amazing concept with the dome, waking up to the morning skies and going to sleep under the stars was incredible. The Misty Mountain team really looked after us, and we felt really really welcomed.

South AfricaWe thought the dinner basket was a little bit pricey for what we got. I think it would be wise to have a different price list for SA citizens as it is obviously more targeted for international travelers, but overall, we loved our stay.
Loved the view and the unique experience. It's definitely something ticked off the bucket list.
