Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomNo lunch available on the premises so any order had to be brought in which was confusing. Dinner orders had to be placed in advance though this did not inconvenience us.
The airport transfer was excellent and reasonably priced. Breakfast provided great choices and good value. The dinner menu was varied and again costs of food and drinks were cheap. The rooms are a bit dated but all furnishings are comfortable and practical. The garden surrounding the property is truly fantastic with incredible bird life for any enthusiasts staying at Avant Garde Lodge.

I love that you can stay so close to the airport without having the airport-hotel feel. The staff are terrific and the food was amazing.

United KingdomNo complaints from me - I'll be back!
When I arrived I was quite tired from long flights so it was a pleasure to have a comfortable quiet room with plenty of tea and coffee to relax in for a few hours before going into the garden to enjoy a sun downer whilst gently rocking on the swing seat reading my book. Dinner was delicious and enjoyed outside after which I sat by the campfire watching the full moon rising whilst finishing my wine.

Staff exceptionally helpful, food excellent, very homely, so easy to relax there. Super comfy and cost. Communal areas and gardens lovely. Shuttle service great. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

AustraliaI couldn't get the tv to work but that was no problem as internet was all I needed. The property is a bit isolated so you require transport to get you anywhere.
I am grateful that the hotel arranged a lift from the airport at about 6:00 am allowed me to check in very early. On it's own that is worth 10 out of 10. The hotel also organised a tour for me that was brilliant. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast and dinner was fabulous. Excellent cooking and menu. The room was large and comfortable with a separate bathroom. They did everything I required to manage a short stay in Johannesburg.

The location is only a 10 minute drive to the airport and the shuttle service is excellent. Fast check in and option to leave luggage for a longer period. Dinner can be booked in advance. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Everything is neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend.

United KingdomFloors were still being relaid when I arrived, so not everything had been put back in place, but this was well compensated for by the prices and how welcome I was made to feel - Thanks Josie and staff. I was a bit cold in my room - should have upgraded to a fire!
Good location- convenient for Airport, but sufficiently far away that it felt peaceful and out of the way. Great shuttle service - Thanks France! Lovely hot shower. Cosy bedding.
