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.).

United KingdomI liked everything. There's not a negative thing to say about this guesthouse.
This was an exceptional stay from beginning to end. I arrived quite late at the airport and lovely Jerry came to pick me up and checked me in with a welcome drink. My room was very comfortable and luxurious. Breakfast came with many options to choose from and was simply delicious. I also ordered lunch at the property later on and it was very tasty and well presented. I had a full-body massage, which was great. I cannot recommend this property highly enough!

United StatesNothing, truly.
Communication with the property was excellent, even when my flight was delayed. When I arrived, even though I was late, the chef offered a custom-cooked kingklip lunch that was just fantastic. Massage at the spa was top-notch. I had been travelling in Africa for three weeks at this point, in five different countries, and the food and service at Witwater was the best by far. The room was lovely, the staff was very attentive, and the chef just created each meal - lunch, dinner, and breakfast - with love. My stay at Witwater was a true highlight of my trip.

AustraliaMenu is lovely but limited - oh but the breakfast was perfect.
An absolute Gem ! - cannot speak highly enough of this beautiful guest house/spa/ hotel. I fly into Johannesburg about 4 times a year and have stayed at most of the “airport hotels” wait up to 45 min for the bus transfer- get in a long queue to checkin.. lack of any interest by staff, ordinary service, food etc.. booked at the Witwater for the first time. Jerry a terrific young man from the guest house met me at the gate - name on a big board. E class Mercedes to the hotel - I check in and in the room 15 min after exiting customs . Room twice as big. Bathroom 3 times bigger than a hotel. Super nice. Great restaurant, amazing grounds, quiet ( some aircraft noise but not bad and definitely not a problem), Welcoming manager and staff. Excellent property.

The interior of the property was very well thought out, comfortable, clean and spacious. The gardens were extremely well kept and the veranda and swimming pool provided a very relaxing outdoor area. Desiree, our host made us feel very welcome. Shepherd and Jimmy were extremely attentive at all times, taking us from and to the airport in a very comfortable car. Martha who was our chef for the night we stayed prepared us a wonderful meal. Fortunately we allowed ourselves enough time during our short stay to have relaxing massages from Jennie. We couldn’t have been look after better. Our advice to travellers is not to book at a large international airport hotel, choose Witwater Guest House and Spa instead.

We stayed at Witwater on our way to Botswana after a flight from UK. We arrived at the airport to be met by Innocent who took us on our short trip to the hotel. We were treated like royalty throughout our rest day and delivered back to the airport the next day. Nothing could have been better. Many thanks to all the wonderful staff. The best beds ever, a beautiful garden, fantastic food. We booked for another night on our return and it was like going home! The spa is amazing and very reasonable.

I can only praise the staff Witwater guesthouse for their exceptional service, friendly smiles and accomodating approach. The facilities are clean, comfortable and make one feel home away from home. The area surrounding the guesthouse has improved greatly and should be regarded as a major plus point for this establishment. Safe and comfortable stay, definitely to be recommended.
