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...).

The owners are not professional, first 2 nights one of the owners came with friends and made noise, second night they were arguing and fighting. And I had come from a 16hr flight needing to rest. Very unprofessional!!! Their prices are not standard and change everytime u extend…they also want u to pay to them directly and not via bookings. com ..they are unreliable since there was a fault with electricity in their guesthouse, they took me and another guest in another apartment which required us to call their number to enter the premises and they wouldn’t answer their calls the whole day and came back later to say they were at church !! Very frustrating and unprofessional! 😡. That inconvenience cost me doing my work and wasting my day doing nothing…
Staff was great! Treated me well and did their best in ensuring that I’m living well. However, their rooms are decaying and some have mold especially in the bathrooms, one of the rooms i occupied smelled of smoke like someone who was there was a chronic smoker and that wasn’t fixed to make sure the next guest doesn’t sleep in a room that smells like ur living with someone who smokes…their extra blankets where also dirty and smelly so that I didn’t like

The chairs in the dining area, and the desk chair in the bedroom were a bit flimsy. Not used to a B&B not having readily available milk for coffee or tea. Some general maintenance and upkeep of the facilities would definitely increase my overall score. Like the TV in the room seemed to be held together by tape.
The upstairs balcony area was great. I did appreciate that they let people know about the water shortage and supplied water.

The bed was not comfortable at all. I didn't expect to sleep uncomfortable for three days after a very long drive from Limpopo. The gate was manually operated during the day and was not locked, am not sure about during the night.
Unfortunately I didn't include breakfast on my booking, so I can answer breakfast question. As for the location, is perfect and I got lost because the address I followed on booking.com is wrong. Please correct it.

Having any method to open the gate for yourself was extremely frustrating. Only is relying on someone else to open and close the gate for you as you come and go isn't ideal. I also experienced uncovered main plugs and an unclean bathroom floor when I arrived
Despite the constant calls and texts to open the gate, the manager was always on call and happy to help.

Had to wait for a long time before they could open the gate for us, on our first entry, which was a bit disappointing. The fact that guests don't get a gate remote was disappointing because it limited our movements. The room had no window.
