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 AfricaWords truly fall short in expressing how wonderful our experience was with Lise, our host. She reached out a week before our trip to ensure everything was in place, and throughout our stay, she consistently checked in each morning to see how we were doing. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality did not go unnoticed. The apartment was cozy and well-equipped with all the essentials, including thoughtful amenities to keep us warm during the chilly mornings and nights. During the day, it felt like a little ray of sunshine—a true haven. Thank you, Lise, for going above and beyond and making our stay truly memorable. ❤

South AfricaThe Stables on Drew Ave, was a delightful experiece, the room was up to standard and required all the necessary essentials needed. Lise the property host was extremely friendly and very accomodating to us during our stay. She was even kind as to allow us to use her private pool should we wanted to. I would highly recommend this accomodation to anyone looking for a modern yet cozy place to stay at in the Howick area.

South AfricaUnfortunately, our experience was marred by several issues: * the bed was surprisingly uncomfortable and affected our quality of sleep and my back * No seating - there was just 1 chair so relaxation was impossible for 2 people * The bathroom gets wet after showering - I slipped and sprained my ankle. Huge hazard * No bathroom amenities - no shelf for shower gel/shampoo etc * There was no mirror in the room—there was a little one in the bathroom, but with the wet floor and steaming mirror, one could not even put on makeup, let alone ensure the "dress" was appropriate. * No hairdryer - thankfully I take mine along * Extremely limited crockery - No wine glasses * No Housekeeping - our rubbish stood for 2 days!
Location is the only thing going for this venue.

South AfricaThis is a new facility, and the owner needed some advice on what to have available for the comfort of guests, particularly in light of electricity and water supply problems. she has now introduce many improvements to overcome these shortcomings.
Space of room and the facilities. This is difficult to answer as when we arrived late at night, it was very cold, no electricity (except lights) and no water. In subsequent communication with the hostess, we suggested facilities we suggest she includes for the comfort of her guests. She has done the easy immediate things, like drinking water bottles in the fridge, some infrastructure things she is working on. When these have been installed this will be excellent accommodation.
