Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

South AfricaIt was so quite and peaceful. Loved how private the lodges are. Our cars parked in the shade😊 The swimming pool was clean and warmer in the evening, we enjoyed swimming at night. Absolutely loved the lights in case of Loadshedding. That was very thoughtful.

South AfricaWater temperature out of shower. Couldn't get the right balance, was either way too hot or cold.
We loved the cabin style accommodation, peaceful location and comfortable room. Plenty of windows to open, and well-dressed with blinds and curtains so we could make the room nice and dark at night. Only complaint was the water temperature from the shower very difficult to control. Great balcony with a view out onto the marsh lands and lagoon behind. We were only here for one night and the weather was wet so we didn't do any activities other than drive out for dinner and drive to the headland to see the view in the morning (stunning). Both only a short drive away. The pool was a nice bonus for a quick dip in too. We would definitely recommend this place to others, better value than most air bnbs in the area.

South AfricaThe beds in both unit 6 and 8 were a bit hard. We kindly suggest new mattresses so that we can be back again.
What a lovely location. Very peaceful and quiet so we could unwind and really destress. Stunning views of the lagoon and mountains made it memorable. The sunsets were particularly beautiful from the balcony. Clean, well equipped, neat, beautiful, well built log cabins. Sparkling, clean swimming pool and lush well maintained gardens. Staff was friendly, super helpful and informative. We liked it so much that we extended our stay by an extra night. Thank you James.

South AfricaAlthough the view is great, the immediate area is not that great and the unit therefore quite expensive compared to other similar units in the same area. I probably left my jacket in the room, and when calling afterwards to esquire if they have it, the answers I got was just "Nothing was handed in". Not "we will check for you sir", or "I will ask the cleaning team if they found it" - no additional effort to try and assist me.
Good location, great view, well equipped unit. There are two bathrooms which is great, and the unit can be expanded to a 6 or 8 sleeper by renting the adjacent rooms as well. Good parking under the unit.

South AfricaThe only suggestion would be to have plug points at the side of the beds and maybe more candles or additional candles for load shedding.
Beautiful view, our room had everything we needed from an aircon to a safe, I thought it was a very well equipped place with all the amenities you would need. Our room was cleaned everyday and it was such a pleasure to come back to a relaxing environment and enjoy a glass on wine on the balcony with a gorgeous view! I will definitely come back, the value for money was unbeatable. Highly recommended.

South AfricaThe roof could do with a bit of revamping. Either than that, I'm a satisfied customer!
It's value for money. It looks exactly how it appears on the pictures. It's clean, the privacy is amazing. And it's a home away from home. We will be coming back again!
