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 AfricaThe only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't stay longer. Hoping to visit Beaufort West again so I can stay at Kia Ora.
Kia Ora was such a pleasure to stay at. The beginning of my stay started with the friendliest and loveliest pair of hosts coming out to greet me and offering to help me with my bags. They were so welcoming and warm and such great people. The guesthouse had such a homely and unique feel that was beautiful and felt like home and exotic at the same time! The food was absolutely amazing and the rooms were comfortable and great. The common area was a great space to chat with the hosts and get to know them and it felt like building two new friendships. Kia Ora, thank you!

South AfricaThe fact that there was no water when we woke up 😭... Not on the owner's fault, in fact they were very apologetic about it. It's a Beaufort West problem - level 3 water restrictions.
The hospitality was great! The food was absolutely amazing and the host and hostess were super kind, warm and friendly. Sevette is a lovely lady. We enjoyed the breakfast. It really felt like home away from home.

South AfricaThat we had to leave after 3 nights
Upon arrival we met the friendliest host, Sevetta. The electric blanket were switched on and we could just jump in shower and in bed. The crisp white bedding and the way we were received after a long day on the road was exceptional. In the morning we were surprised with a delicious breakfast that boost our energy levels. Initially we were billed for one night, but end up staying another two nights. 💚💚💚 Always difficult to part from good people....Enver and Sevetta Theron are the salt of the earth. We had made lifelong friends and definitely recommend Kia Ora Guesthouse and Coffeeshop to anybody out there. Don't just drive through Beaufort West, without popping-in at the White Castle, former house of CJ Langenhoven.

South AfricaBooking did NOT indicate that SHARED BATHROOMS applicable. Booking indicated POOL VIEW - room window opened to washing line - NO POOL VIEW. Landlord refused to apologize or accept misleading advert in any way. Full amount due paid in advance - no refund. This is unfair enrichment by landlord. Note that site information and booking confirmation misleading.

South AfricaFirstly, to dispel accusations from the hosts, I’ll be upfront that I (stupidly) arrived on the wrong date. We had a last minute change of plans, and in my haste to book I didn’t double check the dates. Secondly, I want to give background that I’ve previously had an issue with a property lying about a private bathroom, hence I double checked THIS on my booking. Check in: arrived to chaos - no person at front desk, had to wander through house to find the lady stating she is still cleaning a room (at 6:30pm)… didn’t ask for my confirmation, but when I said I was IAN she showed me to my room. I could immediately tell this was a shared bathroom situation, so I reacted. She accused me of lying and not double checking the room details, and her husband told me I am not allowed to be rude to his wife. Nevertheless, with a sick wife, they agreed to refund me for the misunderstanding Misleading: as I was leaving, the lady rushed out and stated that I arrived on the wrong date. Her husband tried to make small talk about NZ and laughing about the mess, and again agreed to refund my booking. seeing that I already requested my refund under the bathroom mix up, I left feeling all was in order, and actually turned around to drop off the key I still had. The aftermath: The owner made a U-turn, accusing me of lying on the refund request (although it was a timing thing and me not KNOWING I pitched up on the wrong date until later)… even going as far as saying I was not forthright and honest, and they had to “guide me in that direction” (side note to owner: thanks for assuming I couldn’t be dumb enough to HONESTLY have a date mix up Bottom line: steer away, they are not nearly cup to scratch in terms of professionalism to handle “different” scenarios, and lack the basic decency to keep their word. This review could have been avoided if the owner decided to reply to my detailed timeline and acknowledged their unprofessional behavior in handling this.
