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 AfricaThe only thing that I can say is that maybe add some bar fridges in the rooms.
Everything, the quiet, the smell of fresh mountain air, the views, the trails, the safety, the peace and good WiFi, etc. The fact that they even cater for all, as we don't eat beef or pork and they had mutton sausages and lamb cold meat and lots of variety for breakfast (best omlets too) also supper they had chicken and variety of other stuff for us.

United KingdomWas disappointed that none of the 3 bridges over the river were usable - they were all (seemingly permanently) closed due to poor maintenance. This leaves just one walk that you can do from the hotel. Wanted to play mini-golf but the receptionist didn't know where there golf balls were kept so we couldn't do that either. One thing that really bugged us is that despite the tranquil setting there is nowhere quiet to sit. TVs are blaring sports programmes in reception, in the bar and in the lounge.
Beautiful surroundings The meals were good (loved the ice cream machine!( and the catering staff were helpful and professional

South AfricaStaff were not too concerned with our leaky bathroom (took ages to come to our aid) saying that we had given them the wrong room number . Phones were down. Only stayed for one night but could have had a better experience from rather than to change rooms in the middle of the night. My husband did take it up with the helpful manager though. Sorry can’t remember the name of the guy.
Perfect setting for a quick getaway and ultimate relaxation.

United KingdomWe’d driven a long way to get to the hotel and were very tired. Given this is a large hotel and check out is at 10.00 am we thought we might be allowed to check in when we arrived just after 12. But it felt like the staff were unhelpfully and needlessly enforcing the advertised 2pm check in. We didn’t feel particularly welcome.
Very convenient location for visiting the Sani Pass

South AfricaThe people dealing with finances were not organized, Mbali and Nana. I payed the full amount almost a month before the trip and I communicated with them prior to my arrival date with proof of payments and to my surprise....on the day of checking in, I was still questioned whether the booking was payed for??? They were still trying to find my proof of payment. Which was a bit annoying and embarrassing.
The view are amazing, rooms are clean. Staff is also amazing. I enjoyed the walk to the waterfall.

South AfricaJust 2 things I didn't like: 1.This other white gent who was so rude when we're about to go for the Saturday guided walk at the reception standing by the packets of still water when I was taking one bottle thinking it's for us going for a walk he was like "sorry you don't just take you ask" in a rude way that's what was annoying he could've explained in a kind way or more polite manner. 2.The main thing both my partner and I weren't impressed about was that our room had no fridge☹️ hotels normally have bar fridges.We had to drive all the way to Underberg to get a cooler box and ice for our fruits & drinks to keep fresh the entire weekend😕
Definitely will consider coming back.Everything was just so beautiful and we made friends with the other guests.
