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 AfricaThe shower water was either boiling hot or cold, so we weren't able to have a constant temp. The shower head in the main bedroom bathroom is leaking so water sprayed everywhere. We used a face cloth to stop that.
We loved the pool, deck and fire pit area. It's a quite place that is well looked after. We were so happy to see so many animals visiting us. Loved having aircons in the bedrooms, helped a lot with the heat.

South AfricaVery dirty. Spider webs and dead insects in almost all the rooms. Very dusty. Definitely not cleaned prior to our arrival. No water for the majority of our days there. We could only shower and get any water from taps on our last day there. No tupperware/plastic containers or anything to store leftovers/serve the kids(toddlers) food.
Lovely area and unit. Stayed there for the second time but really an unpleasant experience(again).

South AfricaPool was green and stayed green despite the maintenance people attending to it. As we deliberately chose accommodation based on having a pool, this was a massive letdown. Bed was very hard and not comfortable - very small for 2 adults. Gas geyser gave about a minute of scalding hot water and then just cold water, even after changing the active bottle (we also have a gas geyser at home and our temperature is constant) - we did not have one warm shower for our entire stay. Water pressure in the shower was very low. The air conditioner was spraying drops of water over us while we slept. Pool was very loud and almost constantly on, which detracted from the peace of the bushveld- does it need to be on that long, when it doesn't seem to be actually cleaning the pool? Railing on stoep is coming loose and needs maintenance. Chairs on stoep are all breaking and need to be replaced. A sun lounger or 2 would be most welcome. Labourers seem to use the property as a shortcut from the adjacent road, which was unexpected. Alarm key fob didn't work and wasn't sorted while we were there, leaving us without a panic button if we needed it.
Place was clean. Kitchen was well laid out. Happy there was a double sink! Location was good. With the bushveld so green and thick, it felt pretty private despite being on a busy section of road. This was our 5th stay in Marloth, and as always, seeing the animals roaming close by was a treat. Hosts were quick to respond on WhatsApp and were very friendly.

South AfricaUpon arrival we were greeted with an intrusion of cockroaches. They just kept pealing out everywhere. Both rooms mattresses are finished and do not sleep well. The mattresses can be replaced with new ones in future. Both the geysers did not work when we arrived and we had to take cold showers. After arranging with the host, they came to fix and replace the gas. It was confirmed that the main rooms geyser was faulty. The second night, after replacing the gas for the geyser the morning, we still had a cold shower. We were to digusted to use the crockery provided, because of the roaches everywhere. After communication with the host about the roaches , the first evening, they brought us roach traps. We booked and paid for 4 nights, but after the intrusion of roaches and cold showers we could not stay there anymore and left after 2 nights. I asked the host for our money back for the remaining 2 nights, as we needed to book other accomodation elsewhere. In the message from the host they send back to us, they told us that they would consider our request for repayment. A week went by and lots of messages later and we are still awaiting an answer from the host regarding the repayment. I would NOT recommend this accomodation to anyone in this condition. If all points are given attention to I would reconsider booking a stay there again.
The encounters with the wild animal roaming freely around the house.

South AfricaWe didn't have any hot water in the kitchen or the 2nd bathroom which meant the whole family had to use the ensuite in the main bedroom that has no door, rather uncomfortable. There were broken tiles everywhere and each item had to be washed before it can be used, which would have been less annoying if there was some hot water. To top it off the owners were rather quick to ask for a damage deposit, but are ignoring any communication to pay it back.
Unit is okay, would be better if owner responded on request for refundable deposit.
