Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 AfricaWhen I looked at the reviews I thought I have to try and It was everything the reviews said it would be. I was contacted beforehand to make check in easier. The owners were extremely helpful to make sure that I had everything I need and the breakfast was really great. I will definitely return here on my next business trips.

South AfricaClothing cupboard smelled mouldy, Kitchen cupboards smelled as if they hadn't been opened in a while, crockery and cutlery smelled like they had been dried with a smelly tea towel. Feet dirty after walking on the tiled floor. Minor complaints in comparison to some experiences...
Super secure, very helpful and friendly staff. Reasonably well equipped kitchen, spacious rooms, comfy bed, tastefully decorated. Always nice to have couches and chairs in the room as well.

South AfricaBreakfast was plentiful, but more choice could be given - suggest a form to complete the day before, according to the needs of the guest.
Great communication from hosts before and during the stay. Clean, comfortable room and furnishings - felt like home. Modern fittings and extra touches. Bottles of water and fresh milk in a full sized fridge. Pool looked pristine.

South AfricaNothing. There's nothing to dislike in this fantastic place.
Everything. I was a bit skeptical when I saw The Travel Inn being so cheap and yet having its rating. I was pleasantly surprised upon getting there though. My expectations were exceeded. A rating of 100/10 is more appropriate! Tertius and Thabisile are excellent hosts. Of course, their own travel experiences adds up in helping them make The Travel Inn one of the best places you can lodge in Durban at such affordable prices. Tertius and Thabisile also transported us at their own costs without asking for any dime from us. We even got complimentary footwears. If the accomodation is available for your dates, you will never go wrong with this place. Book it immediately, thank me later. (~_*) Thank you Thabisile, thank you Tertius. You were excellent in hosting us and we equally love your dynamics as a couple.
