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 AfricaCould not stay longer!
The host is friendly, accommodating and helpful at all times with a lovely mannerism. Wild Heart Safari provides three modern-built units to choose from. The property is nestled privately in the heart of the bush, situated in a respected, tranquil wildlife estate close to surrounding shops and restaurants. Colleen goes to great lengths to make sure one feels welcome and at ease. Aside from the place being spotless, extra attention has gone into making sure that you have everything you need. The interior is beautiful with its African-style décor, which matches nicely with the surrounding veld outside. The pool on a patio setting, together with air conditioning inside, makes it an even more wonderful stay. It’s nice to cool down after coming back from a game drive in the Kruger nearby. You also get spoiled by a lot of wildlife sightings in the park. The unit provides quality bedding, safe parking and a braai/boma area to enjoy. Also, compliments to Matimba and the cleaning crew. The whole team is very professional and valuable. Thank you for your hospitality. A 10/10 recommendation

We liked everything! Super comfy beds (there are 3), nice pool and fire place, smart TV and great AC. Small kitchenette with the essentials for home cooking. Also, the manager was super nice and responsive, he offered shuttle services which were greatly appreciated.

South AfricaThere was nothing not to like, except that we didn't like having to leave 😉
The Zesty Zebra is exactly as the pictures show it to be. So comfortable and with everything you need. The staff are amazing, with so much attention to detail. Lots of little unexpected extras that make you feel special. From the sparkling spotless pool to the outdoor shower, we loved everything about our stay and would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area. The Estate is beautiful and peaceful with lots of wildlife to observe and enjoy, whether you are at the house or driving around on the game trail. What a beautiful place to relax and recharge for the new year!

GermanyIt would have been helpful if somebody had told us where to deposit the door keys during check-out. We decided to hand them over to the tourist office by the entrance gate which caused some confusion but worked out fine in the end.
Beautiful location very close to nature amidst a wildlife estate. Clean accommodation with stylish and comfortable interior. Very nice hosts who made us feel at home. The outdoor area was inviting and we enjoyed the amenity of the small swimmingpool which offered us some welcome refreshment. We would love to return to this great place.
