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 WiFi is slow and often disconnects from the tv . It’s not great for streaming either and our programme would buffer for a while. The bed is uncomfortable with old linen - the linen is stained and no longer white , it’s yellow. We had arranged with the host for a later check out and informed the caretaker the first day we arrived . On the day of checkout - he reminded us that we need to check out by 10am even though the late check out was previously discussed . Had to remind him of this and it was then sorted. Apartment is a bit outdated and needs some TLC including the cleanliness of the unit - the remote and the bathroom . Suggest getting an airfryer or preparing some food in the oven so that it’s not so oily when pan fried. Should have hand lotion and hand soap in the bathroom.
Good location with quick access to surrounding areas and services. Made provisions for a later check out. Spacious apartment that has some amenities (better for short term stays as no stove or cooking unit in apartment). Multiple heaters and electric blankets available.

South AfricaThe breakfast was given as fry up with boerewors, eggs toast and baked beans. I'd have paid extra to have decent bread and butter and a choice of how my eggs were cooked with bacon instead. The eggs were greasy and so was the rest of the plate, the boerewors was a bit hard and dried out. The smaller bed in our room was a bit too soft and probably time for a replacement.
The manager was very welcoming and helpful and kind. The room was well appointed and the garden very pretty, we enjoyed the couples swing after a stressful week. It was wonderful to soak in the tub and the electric blanket and heater was handy. The big bed was very comfortable.

South AfricaIt’s a bed linen quality ,towels ,absent of milk choice for lactose intolerance guests ,same breakfast menu every morning otherwise it’s a very good place .
I have been loving staying in Pepper tree it’s very quite nearbouhood and Paul always good to his guests from way back that’s why I always chose to stay in Pepper tree instead of a hotel it’s warm and homely Ian was such a welcoming guy through out our stay making sure we are feeling comfortable at all times . What I would love to be improved is bed linen , towels and variety of breakfast options otherwise it’s a number one place to stay in .

South AfricaCleaning more, the white needs to be white, without visible dirt marks, I found blood on the duvet (was sorted, but owner pretended like it didn't matter the following morning, technically ignored us for the rest of our stay), the extra bed just took over the room and packing it away every morning was a nightmare, so it just stayed there, change the couch for a sleeper couch instead. Make breakfast more variety for people who are staying longer.
The backyard is very lovely, location nice and central. The manager and stuff were very nice.
