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...).

GhanaUnfortunately, we had to leave early to catch our next flight to Cape Town, so we missed the breakfast for that day— but that was no fault of the property owners. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would be happy to return again.
My stay was wonderful — the environment was very safe and serene, with top-notch aesthetics that made it truly welcoming. I especially enjoyed the breakfast, and I look forward to returning again

South AfricaAbsolutely nothing.
Absolutely everything! The owners are hands-on and so friendly. All the staff are very friendly. The breakfast is cooked by the owner and is delicious. The room was divine, my daughter and I loved our overnight stay. The bathroom is lovely and I especially loved the hanging basket. The little bar fridge was well stocked and I like the fact that there’s an honesty bar with access to alcoholic drinks. Having filter coffee in the room in the morning was absolutely wonderful! The gardens are phenomenal and I could spend hours walking through and looking at all the beauty. What a quaint and beautiful place to stay. We will be back!!! And also we will recommend this place to everyone.

South AfricaHonestly cannot think of anything we did not like.
Wow!!!! What an absolute gem of a place! We will most definitely be returning when in the area again! We loved the beautiful surroundings, gardens and architecture with the most exquisite artworks throughout. Attention to detail was most appreciated. The comfortable beds with block out blinds and absolute peacefulness at night allowed for a wonderful nights rest. The breakfast in the morning was 5 star, most delicious offerings and excellent coffee. The hosts and staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We cannot wait to return! A little piece of paradise!
