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 AfricaI was alone the entire weekend I was there. I had to go out a bit for a day, not really much to do on site when alone. The signage of the property from the main road could be made more visible and Bold as the GPS throws you out away from the property.
Beautiful surroundings, the Serenity and Tranquility. Staff is absolutely fantastic. Food is totally delish!

South AfricaThe signpost to the property was so faded as to be almost invisible. We turned in the wrong direction on a bad sand road and landed up at a farm gate. On retracing our steps we saw the signpost. It should be replaced.
The breakfast was very poor. The hotel advertises itself as 5 star but the breakfast was around 2 stars. The selection was poor and everything other than coffee and juice had to be ordered from the waiter - even cereal. No fruit was provided at all and only a choice of two pastries was offered. No proper continental breakfast was provided - no cold meats or cheeses. All in all this kind of penny pinching spoiled our stay. The lunch on Christmas Day was good but the service extremely slow and attention to detail not good. Many tables were without serviettes.

South AfricaThe included breakfast has really small portions. I could not eat for most of the stay due to some health condition, except on the 3rd day, where I asked for berries. I got about 8 blueberries and 1.5 or 2 strawberries diced! Even the waiter apologised for the small quantities. Considering I had not cost them a cent the two days before, I would have expected more. And my wife, despite not being a big eater, was always a bit frustrated of the quantities. The wifi was unstable and a bit slow.
The location, the peace, the gardens and the ponds, the service, people are attentive to what you are doing and will for example bring you the mats when you lie on the garden chairs. We slept extremely well, and had an overall pleasant stay.

South AfricaI had asked for a Balcony room prior to the visit which was confirmed to be received. The room we were given did not have a balcony and we asked to be moved to one with a balcony, the room we were moved to did not have a working air conditioner nor a working TV. There was no service by the pool area, we had to go looking for someone to assist with towels and going to the bar for drinks. For dinner/breakfast, it seemed that there were not enough waiters to serve the number of guests there, however the waiters were doing their best. We had to wait some minutes to get assistance after seating on the tables.
The breakfast and dinner were very good. We enjoyed our stay. The location is beautiful, and the gardens are well kept. The staff was very helpful and welcoming from the moment we got to the parking until we left.

The breakfast was great, had an omelet the 2 morning we were there. My partner had the English muffin and asked for salmon which was not on the menu but the kitchen obliged...guest focused. The location is not far from buzzing Gauteng but it offers peace and quietness.
