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...).

BelgiumIf we had to mention one small thing, it’s that the bathroom had a bath but no shower — we prefer showers, which might just be a European thing
This guesthouse offers excellent value for money. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The location was also ideal — just a short drive from all the places we wanted to visit, including the Voortrekker Monument, Freedom Park, and the Kruger House. What truly stood out was the staff. Chantelle, Tabbie, Gladys, Linna, Judith, and Mr. KB were all exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always ready to help — which we especially appreciated, as we were travelling with our two-year-old. A truly enjoyable and memorable stay!

Everything was perfect. From the welcoming staff to the cute, clean room that met all of our needs. Will definitely recommend it to others.

South AfricaI was welcomed by the gate by a staff member (I think her name was Linah). She took me to the room and showed me everything I needed to know. The room was spacious with plenty of clean towels. The property is situated near to Zuid Afrikaans Hospital that makes it ideal when a family member has to stay over in hospital.

South AfricaEverything was lovely and the room had all the facilities. I'm putting this here and not in the "what I didn't like" because it's a recommendation. It would be nice to have a head to toe or dress mirror in the room for outfit checks. You can even affix a light, long mirror inside the wardrobe door.

South AfricaThere wasn't a shower in our bathroom - only a bathtub. BUT the staff member who helped us (I can't remember her name) gave us the key of the room next door so that we could use that shower.
Beautiful rooms. Aircon was fantastic - especially in a 38°C Pretoria. The staff member who booked us in was very helpful and kind. White linen, white towels, AND: plunger-coffee!!! We really did enjoy our stay!
