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 AfricaThere is no WiFi in the room and having dstv is just outdated. WiFi and Netflix app is a must going forward.

United StatesWas a bit disappointed that on our second night when we got back after a long day around 8pm, the fresh lemon water dispenser that had been available the first night was empty. We were thirsty and had no other fresh water to drink, and no staff were anywhere to be found.
Awesome location in Constantia near the botanical gardens. Loved the bathroom with its marble and huge tub. Bed was comfortable and room was large. Nice tall ceilings and pretty architecture, like a French country manor. Breakfast was nice.

South AfricaThe food at the restaurant are a bit of a hit and miss. Breakfast was a bit dry and pasta was stodgy and bland. The steaks and burgers are great. Brownies are delicious but cake was dry and stale. The lawnmower at the pool area at 10am meant we could not relax by the pool in the morning.
The staff are amazing,welcoming , friendly and very helpful. Rooms are comfortable and the pool area and views are the highlight of the stay. We enjoyed our stay emensly.

South AfricaA fan had to be requested as the rooms were hot at night. Would suggest at least 2 fans for both bedrooms. Suggest having a mop and broom in the cleaning cupboard.
Everything about Bushmans Nek is awesome. Food, entertainment, facilities. Especially if you have kids, my little one had a blast. Rooms were neat and comfy. Unit contained almost everything you could possibly need.

South AfricaNothing it was amazing as is
The location is perfect. Views of the mountains from every part of the property. The food is very affordable and well prepared. The staff was helpful and professional, lovely smiles every morning. The pool was amazing. The grounds well kept. The building while being old was of a high standard and everything worked. I will be making this regular destination. Please don’t up the prices it’s one of the few beautiful place that we not well off South Africans can afford. Well done.! 👏👏

South AfricaRestaurant food was not great. Did not enjoy the food and opted to rather make use of the self catering facilities instead of ordering from the restaurant. Inside seating of restaurant is also quite small. Games room also needs to be improved.
Room had been renovated. The pictures on booking.com of the room are outdated. we were pleasantly surprised that the rooms had been renovated. The heated pool was amazing. The views were breathtaking. It was really great that all the features of the resort, pool, views, restaurant, play ground, were a step outside of the room. Love that all the amenities are easily accessible.

South AfricaThe restaurant is a bit mediocre and could do better. Ordering a basket of ribs for R80 and only receiving four ribs is not acceptable. The salads also barely had filling and were just a bunch of leaves. I also suggest that the gardeners do not mow the lawn while people have lunch at the pool. They are disturbing the peace and quietness.
Nice spacious room with a king bed and en-suite bathroom. The kitchenette was well equipped. The room was serviced and cleaned every day. We loved the views from the pool. The hiking routes nearby are lovely and well-maintained. All the staff are super friendly and helpful.
