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 AfricaPerhaps the toilet could be made more private.
Great space with a comfortable bed and modern furnishings. Loved the views over the lake and sitting on the terrace. Very well located with easy access to town and to various walking trails.

United KingdomWe spent two nights at Cloverleigh Guest House in Wilderness for our honeymoon, and it was amazing. The location is perfect—easy to find with stunning lake views. The guesthouse is well-equipped, and the owners were very responsive and flexible. We especially loved the terrace and the pool. A wonderful stay, definitely recommended

South AfricaNot crazy about the bathroom being a wet room, but my husband liked it and the room was cleaned every day and wiped down when we returned after the days activities.
Loved the place. It was comfortable and clean, near to restaurants and the lake, and safe. Host, Mark was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely book Cloverleigh if we ever visit Wilderness in the future.

United KingdomA very minor point in that we would have preferred some obscure glass, rather than clear glass, between the shower and the toilet.
Great location with some lovely walks alongside the river in both directions. Only a 20 minute stroll to the restaurants in the central part of Wilderness. The accommodation is very well appointed with a fabulous verandah area, perfect for sitting out in the warm, sunny weather we enjoyed. We ate out for dinner on the four nights we were there, but self catered our breakfast using the excellent facilities provided.

South AfricaThe host was welcoming. The room was spacious and had all the facilities in order to cook a meal. Additional pamphlets on what to do in the area. Warm and clean white gowns in the cupboard for our use and plenty extra blankets. There is an aircon that can be used on the hot summer days/nights. Massive bed for comfort and very clean bathroom with additional showering souvenirs to use during the stay.
