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 AfricaI got value for money... so nothing that I dislike. But my suggestion is electric blankets because the bed is colder for solo Traveler, even though air-conditioning warms up eventually.
The owner was helpful and sent me the location address. They were able to assist me in checking in much later than their property hours as I traveled from far out of Pretoria.

The location was perfect! Very central to Lynnwood Bridge, Glenfair, and Pretoria East. The hosts were extremely accommodating and their team was wonderful. We were greeted by homemade delicacies and they made us a beautiful breakfast in the morning. The gardens were lovely, exhibiting such care and attention to detail around the entire property. As international guests, Manus and Frik were very helpful with local recommendations. A perfect stay for a few nights in Pretoria!

I am a returning guest at this property and would not dream of staying anywhere else when visiting Pretoria for business purposes. Because I was staying for 4 nights, the hosts upgraded my accommodation at no extra cost to the Executive Suite. The suite itself has a lovely mix of modern lines with additional creature comforts that were greatly appreciated. The gardens are beautifully laid out, with many private nooks in which to relax. Truly a home away from home!

South AfricaThe hosts Frik and Manus were exceptional! They were extremely accommodating to our international guest Michael. They made him feel so comfortable and his stay was truly lovely! He couldn't stop complimenting Frik and his services as well as how stunning the venue and accommodation was!!! I went to have a look for myself as I had booked the place for Michael and it was GORGEOUS!!! The gardens look AMAZING and had such beautiful details to it with the statues, fountains, plants and flowers as well as the cute little statues perched here and there in the gardens. The rooms are stunning and have all the little touches to make you feel more welcome and at home! Thank you to Frik and Manus!!! I will most definitely be booking at 98 on Lynburn Guest House again!!!
