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

Insufficient lighting in the bathroom, practically non-existent. Power tripped a number of times. No suitcase rack.
Location was great as it was around the corner from our conference venue. Substantial and well-prepared breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the electric blanket.

Booked for 1 double bed and one single. Were given a room with a (thank goodness), one big bed for the three of us. We were offered a change, but was late and just wanted to get to bed. We had to then go back out to reception to ask for towels and soap as the room was not quite prepared anyway.
Staff were friendly, and wanted to accommodate.

While this is technically a nice place to stay, we did not feel 100% at home / comfortable e.g., light in room was not good, bed was hard incl. hard spot for a control, super old TV (no Netflix etc.) and terrace is shared by everyone without privat spots.
Overall spacious, nice guesthouse with everything you need including pool. Staff was nice. Breakfast is prepared on order (warm or cold). Rooms have air con, a fan, fridge, TV and gas to boil water.

I thought the price for the breakfast - 2 eggs, slice of tomato, mushrooms, 2 small sausages & 2 rashers bacon with 2 slices of toast and coffee - was a bit steep at R150.00! Hot water from the taps in the basin and bath was brown. Perhaps you should check pipes for rust... Noise from the street in the front room (No. 1) during the night was disturbing - prbably not much you can do about that!
Coveniently situated near restaurants for an evening meal, although I was advised not to walk but rather drive!

I stayed in room number 8 and the last day of my stay another guest checked in to the room above me, it was noisy and I could hear every step and everything that was done upstairs, this was terrible as I was woken every time with footsteps.
Staff is super friendly and helpful, bed is comfortable and room is clean and spacious. Location was perfect and parking was available and I felt very safe to stay there.

The toilet and shower were not closed off from the room. This made privacy, an issue between two traveling buddies. I recommend access to laundry services, (washer and dryer).
The host that checked us in from Zimbabwe was wonderful. She helped us with everything we needed. She also cooked a wonderful breakfast. The room was clean and everything seemed to work properly. The outside garden was spectacular. The parking was extra secure, along with the facility. Walking to a nice restaurant for dinner was easy.
