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):
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.
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.).

South AfricaThe bed we slept on was not so comfortable.
The place is beautiful from the entrance. The owner made us feel welcomed and at home. The surroundings were a cherry on top, especially the waterfall we got to enjoy for free for a change in Mpumalanga where you pay for almost everything. It's so peaceful and refreshing 😌 It's one of those places you can visit a 100 times but never get tired of. We loved it 😍✨️👌

AustraliaWonderful property, huge chalet that is well equipped with everything you need and beautiful location along a river offering walks. Nicely set up pool (didn’t use as winter) but would be great in summer. Logan was very friendly and helpful offering many recommendations for local sights and meal options. Highly recommend.

NetherlandsVery nice cottages in a beautiful area. The river and garden are really nice and very well maintained. Also there is a short walk to a spectacular waterfall and a walk around the river where you’ll see a lot of birds. What’s also nice is the outside fireplace, very cosy. The hosts were very nice and the breakfast really good 👍. The town itself, Sabie, is nice and a good spot to explore the surroundings.

ItalyThe room was freezing and the small heating provided was not enough for the big house. It could be good to add more heating, especially for the bathroom.
Surrounded by the beautiful nature, the cottage is spacious and curated. The staff is very nice and shared spaces outside are beautiful. The best breakfast ever!

United StatesThe room could’ve been warmer, although admittedly, it was the middle of winter when I stayed and would not be an issue during the other seasons of the year.
The setting is just beautiful and the staff very helpful and professional. The room was spacious and well equipped. The view of the stream from the room is extraordinary. Walking outside with a cup of coffee in the morning to listen to the stream amidst the hills and trees is a special experience.

South AfricaShawne the host is super friendly, very warm, so professional. The host speaks with you like someone you have met before. Wow!!! Logan with his wonderful, super friendly personality.His team at the dining room serve their buffet breakfast which was delicious with freshly baked artisan bread , flapjacks, muffins and banana bread. The host and Logan were informative about places to visit around. The river and the waterfall was cherry on top. The place is very peaceful and quiet. For nature lovers book Sabie Star and you will not regret. I will recommend it to family and friends. House keeping: thumbs up for Mzwandile. She knows her work and she is passionate, friendly and ever smiling.
