How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewIt’s perfect. Pity we only needed it for one night. The property has a play area for the kids, a private braai & chairs with an umbrella on our porch. They organised a cot and a baby bathtub for us.
Nothing bad. Kitchen would do with better lighting. Since it’s a self-catering, it’d be nice for it to be brighter when cooking.

Verified reviewThe location is central and the host were ok
The facility is totally outdated and the furniture were odd. We stayed in unit 4 for one night. On confirming I asked if breakfast was an option with a positive answer when I wanted to book it wasn't anymore. The room is really not what I expected. Stayed in much better places for same price or less. Would not recommend it to friends.
Thank you so much for your glowing feedback – we’re thrilled you noticed how ‘odd’ our furniture is, we actually paid extra for that unique look. As for breakfast, we do apologize that it wasn’t available at booking time… perhaps next time we’ll invest in a crystal ball so we can predict your exact moment of hunger. We’re also deeply sorry that our humble Unit 4 didn’t quite live up to the 5-star palace in your imagination. Rest assured, we’ll keep striving to meet the impossibly high standards of ‘better places for less.’

Verified reviewLovely facility with a play area for kids.
Room was cold despite the heater. Shower ran out of warm water and the owners attitude when l explained that this was the delay of not checking out in time. That man's attitude was unpleasant.
Dear Nosipho, You visited us in the middle of winter, so it’s naturally cold both indoors and outdoors. We provide ample hot water for our guests; however, it’s unfortunate when guests overuse it. When someone in your room showers for an extended period, it’s understandable that the hot water may run out, as your room was the only one connected to that specific geyser. It’s also challenging for me to discipline guests’ children when their guardians do not managing their behavior. Our fish in the pond died due to your children’s actions, which was very disappointing. Despite addressing this issue with them multiple times, the problem persisted, and your late departure added to the situation. Over thirteen years in business, we’ve received many positive reviews across various platforms, and you are the first guest to mention an issue with my attitude. However, repeated damages and disruptions can understandably affect one’s demeanor.

Verified reviewThe staff were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The play area for children was fantastic — spacious, fun, and well-equipped. We also loved the wide variety of options available, which made the experience even more enjoyable for the whole family.
The only small issue was the shower, which could be improved for added comfort, however the water was hot and we felt fresh before bedtime.

Verified reviewI liked the place outside was secured .
I didn't like the room I stayed on, the smell was too bad for my family it was smelling smoke and it was too dirty is such that the was snal that was on the wall in the bad room. The toilet was not operating when you have to release yourself you must use the backet to flash .
We like to clarify that all our rooms are strictly non-smoking, so the smoke odor you experienced is concerning and unusual. Our team is always on-site and ready to assist with any maintenance needs (if notified). Upon inspection after your feedback, the toilet was functioning properly, but we acknowledge that temporary issues can arise. In the future, please alert us immediately so we can resolve such problems promptly. While snails occasionally appear near outdoor sliding doors after heavy rain or due to past flood conditions in the area, we recognize this should not affect your indoor experience.
