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 AfricaStaff could be a little more professional and basic maintenance of property would go a long way
Positives: 1. Close to location of where we needed to be the following morning, and easy to find 2. Bed was comfortable and sheets where clean. 3. Ample parking. 4. Good price for rest lodge incase you find yourself stranded in the area or just need a place to lay your head for the night. Negatives: 1. Staff very unfriendly. Really felt unwelcome, no smiles as at all. 2. Our room unit 1 - door could not be locked key was broken, they refused to swap our room said they are fully booked even though room 2 was empty. They have take it or leave attitude. Toilet seat was broken. Toilet canister had no lead, to be able to flush you have to pull lever from the inside. No floor mat in the bathroom 3. Entry and exit from property you have to hoot they take their time to open. 4. Staff member watching TV in the lounge with volume too high, literally sleeping on the couch with a blanket, very unprofessional as that area serves as entrance 5. Kitchen extremely untidy and unhygienic. Its crawling with cockroaches and ants. Sink full of dirty dishes - best you eat out. Needed to use kitchen to warm up food.

The host or caretaker had a nasty attitude, and told us that if we’re not happy we should go and ask for our money from that booking.com knowing very well that their accommodation has a no money return policy, the place was nothing like the photos that were displayed on their site one room had a shower right at the head where there was suppose to be the headboard drawer.

South AfricaEverything! As a young girl i felt so unsafe when we reached our room. You could hear every single sound coming from the next room, i doubt that we would've gotten any sleep. The door doesnt even have handles and only security was a slide lock that was barely attatched to the wall. From the outside of the room you could see everything inside the room due to the door not filling the whole door frame. This is something i never want to experience again. Waste of money!
Absolutly nothing was as expected. Upon arrival the staff was confused and rude. I was shocked to see that the photos are not even close to what the have there. Absolutly terrible to be honest. We were barely there and immediatly started to look for a better place to stay. The photos and everything is a whole scam!
