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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 AfricaIt was a bit of a challenge to cart up luggage to and fro. It would have been helpful to have some assistance. Overall, the staff were pleasant and kind.
The breakfast was good. There is a set menu to choose from. The staff accommodated us by making small deviations to the menu, and that was appreciated.

South AfricaI didn't like that our room was too small for our money, we also requested to get that water pump in the swimming pool, we unfortunately couldn't get a formal response as what was happening or happened since we arrived on Friday it was working. We eventually concluded for ourselves that ohh it no longer working. Ohh The place does it have the manager? If so he/she would have intervened on the situation or care to come and explain the issue of water pump to us.
I liked mostly the staff, they are exceptionally friendly. I mean the daytime security as well as the ladies. I also loved the hygiene 100/100 thank you so much ❤ 😊

South AfricaI waited a long time (around 7pm) to check in because the receptionists weren’t sure which room to provide me and the guesthouse owner was “unavailable telephonically”. One of the young girls who helps to run the guesthouse knocked on my door on 2 different occasions and after opening my door she would oddly walk straight into my room and ‘inspect’ around. I didn’t appreciate this at all, I was also travelling for work and in/out of work meetings. I didn’t expect to be disturbed in this way. The internet was completely unusable for work and I had to purchase my own data. I couldnt even stream one YouTube video fully. The bed wasn’t very comfortable, better for a short stay. The room had a poster plastered above the desk wall that reads “No visitors”, I wasn’t aware of this prior to booking the guesthouse. The staff/ property owner don’t seem friendly. Bathroom shower drain needs some maintenance.
The guesthouse is somewhat near to central Umhlanga. The property cleanliness was passable. The room has an aircon and loadshedding light. Breakfast is available, but of average quality and small portions - you select from about 3 options (I received 2 slices of toast, a small portion of scrambled eggs & baked beans, 1 hash brown, 1 sausage).
