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 AfricaThere was a water problem in the area for 2 of the 3 nights I was there that hampered my stay a bit but the Host and her staff were proactive and forthright in their efforts to keep me informed and sorted. Otherwise I would have rated my experience there higher.
The location was great and the place was clean and the host and staff friendly. I would definitely go there again.

South AfricaCleanliness could have been MUCH better. The unit had roaches. It had a very moldy musty smell. I opened the sleeper couch to find old biscuits and lots of dust in the couch indicating that the couch is not thoroughly cleaned. When I opened the couch, it smelled musty because it’s not cleaned well and that just added to the already bad musty smell in the unit. I had initially opened the couch so that my daughter could sleep on it. I decided to be the one to sleep on it because I didn’t want her getting sick from the dust and dirt on the couch, it was better if I got sick. I had to cover the entire couch with blankets before I slept on it. I found cockroaches in the bathroom. The unit I was in was also next to an outside tap. The staff used that tap for water and when they walked there it was so loud because there is loose stones outside. So when they went to collect water you would first hear the loud “crunch crunch crunch” of footsteps, followed by a loud “BRRRRRRR” of water hitting the bucket accompanied by loud giggling and chatting as the people need to speak louder than the sound of the water. If I were the owner I would sleep in the units at least one or two nights a month to understand the true state of the units.
The location was fantastic. I walked less than 10 minutes to the Umhlanga Park Run. On my walk I saw security patrol cars in the area which reassured me of some level of safety. The unit I got had all basic amenities for self-catering including pots, utensils, a medium size very cold fridge. Zero check-in drama. The owner was really friendly and nice. The unit is clean at surface level when you walk in but there is room for improvement.

South AfricaThe room was small and cramped, and the fact that it was adjoining the main house or reception, I felt that privacy may be compromised.
The location is excellent next to all the facilities and very accessible. Well managed, clean, serine environment suitable for both business and leasure purpose.

South AfricaThe place was filthy, the walls grimy, the sheets dirty and the staff were unfriendly. It is not set up as a guest house, there’s no reception and you have to go through the family’s kitchen to get to your accommodation. The pictures are not a true reflection of the facility at all.

The location was perfect as we were 4mins away from the shops & restaurants. The pool was a great feature but overall the accommodation is not maintained at all. There are broken cardboard and depleted walls and the doors were getting stuck. Its okay for 1 night and as a last resort.
