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.).

Verified reviewLovely setting. Very relaxing and warm welcome into hotel especially after a long day game viewing in the park. Enjoyable meal in the delightful restaurant in the evening with very attentive staff. The best spa after breakfast the following day! Thoroughly enjoyed our sport stay.
Buffet dinner and breakfast, plenty of choice but unless you are there when it's put out fresh it all becomes a bit tired and unappetising looking. Would personally rather have fresh prepared food from A La carte menu. Breakfast was good with good choice of cereals and fruit but bacon looked fatty and soggy. Choice of eggs freshly cooked was good.

Verified reviewThe welcome drinks, hot towel on arrival. It was tranquil, peaceful, and serene. The visits from the monkey was interesting too. I enjoyed the braai on Thursday. Venison wors was exceptional
The bed sheets smelled like laundry soap, not a bit of cotton linen spray added. No tisses, gowns, hand wash soap, sanitary bags, face cloths and the sliding door sticks. It difficult to open and close. Resturant service was not great on Friday and Saturday waited long to get waiters to our table and our orders in. Buffet menu is the same, a roast dinner each night...
Dear Mabotja, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I’m pleased to hear that you enjoyed the welcome drinks, the hot towel on arrival, and found the environment tranquil and peaceful. It’s also wonderful to know that the monkey visits and the Thursday braai, especially the venison wors, added to your experience. I sincerely apologize for the aspects that did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the bed linens, the absence of certain amenities, and the sliding door are very helpful, and I will ensure our maintenance and housekeeping teams address these issues promptly. Regarding restaurant service, I apologize for the delays and the repetitive buffet menu. We are actively working to improve our service efficiency and variety to enhance our guests’ dining experiences. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even better stay. If there’s anything else we can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. Warm Regards Bea
