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 Hide has become my home away from home. I love the area and how clean the rooms are. Marvelous is such an amazing host and is very attentive to my needs. She is efficient and cleans speedily especially on the days I work from there without lowering the standard of cleanliness. As someone who travels frequently for work, I enjoy staying at the Hide as it is comfortable. Definitely worth the price.

South AfricaThe plugs went off at times and the power would have to be rebooted. The guy in the next flatlet woke me up at 3 in the morning by knocking on the wall or something and make very loud noises.
The bedding, the entertainment, the beautiful lawn, interior, pool and the service. It was very comfortable and cozy and offered good entertainment.

BotswanaThe bed sheets were stained. There was no tea just coffee and there could have been a dustbin in the room as the one in the bathroom was small. Also the water pressure in the shower was low, my partner and I couldn't shower together, we had to shower separately.
Great Location! Excellent Staff, Wonderful room.

United KingdomThe rooms are a little small unless you are a couple. And, there are ants so you must be very vigilant regarding hygiene. They come with a vengeance if you so much as drop a crumb!:). There needs to be more cooking utensils and crockery. As well as more washing up scourers. And the kitchen drawers need a bit of a clean.
I like the familial feel of The Hide. The hostess is lovely. The facilities are good. It is what I would call a guest house rather than a hotel. Great for business trips. The shower room is very big. Good value for money if you are adventurous and want to cook your own food and don't mind not having B&B. Overall, the cleanliness is good, but there are a few areas that need improving.
