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 AfricaThe room was falling apart (no bedside lamps and the shower light and door were broken. The towels looked dirty(because they were old). Because I traveled for work. there was not enough socket outlets to plug my laptop and phone at the same time.
For that price, the room was fairly clean and the Wifi quality was good.

South AfricaService was poor...the lady who was assisting us took advantage of us cause we are young and same race as hers so she gave us a room that is less rated in the lodge...
We were self catering n the location is 50% preferable due to its quietness at night ....

South AfricaThe rooms were very stuffed, could tell windows haven’t been opened for a while. The blankets are quite old and don’t have the most pleasant scent it was very difficult to fall asleep.
Check in procedure was very smooth and there was someone at the reception even though we arrived around midnight. The place is also very close to the airport and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

South AfricaI expected a warm airconditioned room and the comfort as seen on the photos. Instead it was a cold room on a cold night. The next morning the water was chillingly cold. Horrible shower experience.
Basically the reception guy was cool and accomodative.

South Africalol, where do I even begin! The entire place needs renovations, and no, not just minor ones. It needs to completely shut down and have proper reworks. The filth is out of this world. I’m not even a germophobe but the entire time I felt that my body was constantly being infested with germs. The fluff on the blankets was unavoidable even though I had slept with my fleece underneath. lol, I went to work looking like a fur baby. Not to mention the doors that are falling off. I was paranoid the whole night, worried that someone might just break in and kick the sliding door. Very unsafe location - to be fair, this is not their fault. I should’ve done my research. To sum it up, the pictures are the exact contrast of what you will find. A very decrepit building!
The staff. They were so friendly and made me feel welcome.
