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):
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.
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.).

South AfricaThe check in was quick and efficient. And of course friendly. It was raining when we got to the town and the hotel sent a porter across the road to open the boom gate to the guest parking. And he had an umbrella for us which was great. The room was spacious and the hotel staff had pre-lit the fireplace in the room so it was warm and cosy when we got it. Great service all round.

The food in the restaurant was excellent. The breakfasts were great, although would have liked the option of a porridge on the cold mornings. The dinner meals were outstanding.

South AfricaMaybe not a good choice to book during a festival if you (like us) are older and don’t want to partake in the festivities until very late at night. The live music is right opposite the room in the park and it is deafening loud in the room. But it is nit the hotel issue, it is our timing 😂
What. Lovely setup! Such a nice suite

South AfricaBreakfast was a la carte, not the traditional SA buffet. We travelled by motorcycle but cars have to park in the street - there is no secure parking available at the hotel.
Very friendly staff, very well maintained premises, excellent dining room - we enjoyed our evening meal and well-priced wine list. We travelled by motorcycle and we were able to park overnight in the hotel garage at no cost.

South AfricaThe hotel rates were a little higher than expected at this time of year but was aware of that on booking. I decided to take the family away to celebrate my 70th Birthday.
We had an overall delightful weekend at the hotel. The hotel was comfortable and warm as it was very chilly outdoors. The staff were most helpful from arrival to housekeeping to restaurant.

South AfricaCar guard should not allow locals to wash car and so they can request money from you. Off street parking would be great.

South AfricaFor us South Africans the price of the food on the menu was very high. We had one meal there, but as my husband is vegetarian there was not much to choose. We suggest the waitrons write down the orders, as they were coming back often to check what we wanted.
Staff were wonderful, very friendly. Room was more than adequate and comfortable. The breakfasts were also very nice.
