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.).

Waited at gate for ages, eventually got into venue with no staff able to speak English. House was noise and crowded, while not advertised as shared accommodation. No option for refreshments, bathroom was not clean. Guest hooting their car horn at 1am in the morning as receptionist was not awake to open for them.

No breakfast. Was one of the WORSE places we've stayed at. 5 ROOMS SHARED 1 BATHROOM with NO HOT WATER. Had to ask for clean bedding. Sign outside posts 2 hour rest your head for R150.... you know what the means. On arrival could hear people in next having sex. Coachroach in our BED, and so much more wrong with the place. Receptionist sitting in the dark, told us gates lock at 10pm. Absolutely Disgusting place. Not sure why booking.com would advertise such a place. Would DEFINITELY reconsider booking from booking.com AGAIN...
No breakfast. I'm sorry to say this, but there is and was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to like. It was dumpy inside and outside.

1. Stuff is not welcoming, they opened a gate and never showed us the room, we had to call to find out. 2. The place is dark, lights were not working 3. The place was super hot, there was no fan provided. 4. Fridge was unplugged, it was smelling like a dead dog. 5. The bed was not comfortable and smelling. 6. Water was cold, geyser was turned off 7. The rooms are separated by cupboard wall, we heard next door enjoying sex.
Nothing, everything about it is bad.

The owner of the place is very rude and impatient, there is no customer service at all. The beds were uneven and uncomfortable. The rooms were cold with only one blanket and the shower was cold.
Cleanness and kindness of Nthabiseng.

I did not like the fact that there wasn't much privacy. Most facilities were not available. The washing machine could not be used and the pool was not working either. There was no breakfast suggested or offered. The bedding was not changed daily I used the same bedding and towels for the entire duration of my stay. The contact number to the guesthouse was for a guest house in kimberley so it was very inconvenient. There was construction of the roof taking place without informing the guests or I wasn't informed. I think a lot of the things I had to ask about but there wasn't really clear communication about many things. The dstv Streaming also didn't work anf the wifi would randomly go off. So the stay was really dissatisfying.
I liked the location of the guesthouse.
