Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

If you stay during the day you got to be noise resistant. Due to proximity to the airport, starting and landing airplanes are flying over the plot in a very low altitude.
Beautiful garden, the owner tried to create an oasis of peace in a very busy neighborhood. Owner and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is very close to the airport and transfer was perfect.

Wonderful little oasis near the airport! We stayed overnight and can’t fault the property. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We were met with a sign at the airport and enjoyed a smooth transfer to the accommodation. The room was clean, bed was really comfortable, and no noise was heard from the neighbouring rooms. We didn’t need dinner but we did enjoy the breakfast, it was really good, a selection of cereals, bread and condiments, fruit, and we had some hot food made fresh for us as well. A really nice place to stay. Highly recommend

Aforementioned shower temperature outsmarted me, otherwise a very enjoyable and recommendable stay!
So much to love, from the welcome pickup service by friendly drivers, to the short drive right over to the hotel, to the meals available. The food is very good right on site! The staff could set us up on a tour on very short notice as we got in very early and wanted to get some understanding of where we were. This turned out to be super, we learned so much history and geography from our driver and got our first look around the territory. The property itself is somewhat isolated in a semi-industrial area so there isn't any walking about outside the property that we could see, but the compound was quite secure. The room was really large. It took a bit to get it warmed up in July and the bathroom did not really warm up. I struggled to get the hot water in the shower going...operator error. Staff is friendly and helpful. Meals were abundant and satisfying. This is a recommendable landing pad especially for first timers to SA. Much preferred to an airport stay.

There’s nowhere you’d really want to walk to from the property but you’ve got everything you need right there. They serve breakfast and dinner and they’ll order food for delivery for lunch.
Very handy stopover only 10 minutes from Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport. Even though it’s in a fairly built-up area the fact that it’s set around a garden gives it a bit of an ‘oasis’ feel.
