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...).

South AfricaWe really enjoyed the location and privacy of the property, it is close enough to town to enjoy everything the town has to offer but it is far enough to offer peace and quiet with an amazing view!

South AfricaIn the KUDU room the lighting is a bid bad, and shower was a bit small and crammed. The light switches for the lamps also a bit of a problem, but overall lovely.
The whole stay was wonderful, the view was amazing, staff friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and neat.

South AfricaNo sweetener in the room. Would live some fresh/ not longline milk. The neighbors upstairs were loud since 5am. But after the staff had a talk with them it was 120% better on night 2. I am so sorry to see all the structural and environmental damage to Chamonix after the rain
Definitely the welcoming staff. The accomodation. Bontebok. The view spectacular. Breakfast on Parr. I would recommend you to everyone. Wanted to book another weekend, but it was unfortunately fully booked. We'll done guys. I hear there are new owners. Hope they get this place to a star 🌟

South AfricaOf course the rainy and windy weather during our stay was beyond anyone's control. The rain meant we couldn't really enjoy all the facilities - such as the pool or walks in the Estate. The wind was quite hectic and caused some noise, which was a bit of a frustration during the night. Since they're still working on the Estate property - the roads leading to accommodations are quite bumpy so one needs to be extra careful when driving in and out from the town. On the day we checked out, the town itself was quite flooded because of the heavy rain that came down.
My husband and I loved our little week-day stay at Chamonix. The Estate is huge with stunning views of the surrounding mountains, lakes and vineyards. We initially booked one of the Safari lodges. After communicating with Natasha that I was hoping for a bathroom with a bath - she then upgraded us to a Marco Polo Suite which came with a lovely bath and shower. Our Suite was comfortable, functional and spacious. We've never had better sleep thanks to the exceptionally cosy bed. The private bathroom was also quite spacious, including a lovely big bath that we enjoyed unwinding in. Views from our room windows overlooked different parts of the Estate - all equally stunning. Breakfast was well prepared by the staff who were always friendly and kind. We also loved that it was served in the communal area where guests could also lounge by the fireplae or enjoy brekkie outside on the deck area overlooking the Estate. The Estate is a few minutes from the town area so shops and restaurants are easily accessible by car.

Luxury stay at the Chamonix estate. A warm welcome from Natasha. We had two accomodations. One family house with all comforts and an small “jungle” bungalow, also with all the comfort you’d expect. Breakfast was served in the main building and was very nice. We went for a scooter downhill experience on the estate, followed by wine tasting. Had a lovely day.

South AfricaNot a thing - it was wonderful
We arrived late, and were met by John - the guesthouse manager, who was extremely friendly and welcoming. Due to the recent bad weather, the road to our cottage was a bit rough, so he upgraded us to an exceptional suite in the main house. The views were breathtaking, the room was lovely and warm (despite the fact that it was the middle of winter, and freezing), and we were thoroughly spoilt by the staff throughout our stay. A wonderful mid-week stay. Thank you Chamonix!
