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 reviewThe staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, good people let down by terrible management. They were very accommodating when we requested ice and plates for the room. Nice people. I left my pillow there after having left early due to discomfort and lack of amenities, and they returned it to a family member for which I’m grateful.
1. Upon arrival- an air conditioner was being installed in a neighbouring room - we were assured it would only take a little while longer, that was 4pm. By 18:30, there was still drilling. When asked, the workmen snapped at us. The drilling ended after 19:00. 2. When asked about the rusted office chair on the neighbouring roof (which could easily be removed and returned to the neighbour), we were told, oh, it’s been there forever. Why the apathy? It ruined the view and cheapened the experience. 3. Netflix and other apps were advertised - they did not work and we were told, “oh yes, those apps don’t work anymore”. 4. Then tried to watch DSTV - remote was broken - could not change the channels despite me removing the batteries (held in with Prestik). So no DSTV. 5. The electronic safe was out of order - had to request keys. 6. Jets on jacuzzi bath were broken. 7. Bed was old - incredibly small and uncomfortable for a “luxury” establishment 8. Phone calls were unanswered, before, throughout, and after the stay - would only respond to email on working days, could not contact them at all when needing urgent answers. 9. The worst cup of coffee I’ve ever had at coffee shop prices. 10. The walls are paper thin - had another guest next to us and could hear every word of his long and loud phone calls. 11. No USB ports - and 2 available plugs in the room - the rest were all in use. A decent property ruined by lax management.

Verified reviewHosts and staff were very accommodating and very helpful. Lounge area was beautiful and rooms were clean. Thabi was great.
Some of the aircons were not working. They old and probably needs replacing. They did say they will fix it.

Verified reviewFirstly the staff is excellent, their welcome is always warm! The location is perfect you can take less than 5mins walk to restaurants, stores, garage, bottle store basically just very convenient. The rooms are always clean and space is big exactly for their rates.
Probably put long length mirrors in the room so we can check our full outfits( you know ladies lol )

Verified reviewCleanliness is so on point. The staff were happy, efficient and friendly The bed was soo comfortable as well
Definitely extra bath towels are needed because we soaked in that spa bath 3 times! Very important to have handles to get in and out of the tub because im not as young and have recently had injuries including a broken hand and it was not easily at all to maneuver. Thank God for my partner who saved me from slipping. Please sort your tv channels and WiFi out because it cuts off just after 2am.
