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 AfricaA magical bush escape – memories that will last a lifetime I recently arranged a weekend getaway for five couples to celebrate a good friend’s 50th, and Tidmalo Lodge exceeded every expectation. From the moment my wife and I arrived, we fell in love with the place. Tucked away in the heart of the Magaliesburg bushveld, it felt like we had completely escaped city life — exactly what we all needed. The setting is peaceful, with roaming antelope adding to the magic of the bush. The facilities are spotless, well-maintained, and feel secure without being intrusive. Each couple had their own private room, creating a wonderful sense of sanctuary and space. With no TVs in the rooms, and only one tucked away in the central lapa (which we barely noticed), it was the ideal opportunity to properly unplug and reconnect — with nature, and with each other. The highlights? Too many to list, but here are a few: The boma braai and dinner under the stars – a spectacular evening made even more special by being served a traditional South African braai, with incredible food and a beautiful dinner setting arranged centrally around the bonfire. Morning coffee by the pool, watching the sun rise over the hills. Game walks, spontaneous chats, belly laughs, and — as a good old South African Afrikaans saying goes — just some proper “kêer-ing” together. James was a standout host — attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about making guests feel at home. His hospitality was a big part of what made the weekend so special. Every single one of us agreed: the food was fantastic, the setting was breathtaking, and the whole experience was just what we’d hoped for — and more. Thank you, James, for giving us a weekend we’ll never forget. We’re already talking about when we’ll be back.

South AfricaThe pool was freezing, so if you’re hoping for a swim - aim for September to March. The shower was cold too, so our kids couldn’t shower. Not a lot of game to see and the property is quite small so if you’re active like us, there isn’t space to roam around. But there are nature reserves 40 mins away that are amazing, so we did that.
The property was clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was crisp and clean. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.
