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 bed and pillows weren't comfortable. The self catering rooms didn't have an oven.
The view of crocodile river was amazing. You could see atleast 3 different animals at any point in time. The pool has a very nice set up with pretty lights and day beds. Happy hour between 5-6pm was also great.

South AfricaHonestly, nothing.
The place is as good as advertised, in fact I would say it is best to experience it in person. The rooms were spacious and clean - Thank you to the cleaning crew. The view of the crocodile river while resting on the poolside was breathtaking. The breakfast was excellent, compliments to the chef - Mpho did tell me your name my brother, my apologies for not remembering it, nonetheless your food was delicious. Coffee ☕ was one of the best I have ever tasted. The service rendered by the waiter and waitress, Mpho and Cindy was superb, thank you guys and keep up the awesome work. The welcome we received at the reception and the service we got on our departure was warm and professional, my apologies for not taking your names my sisters, However, we will definitely come back again and I will make sure to take your names and tell the world about your excellent professional reception service. To the Kruger View Chalets Management Teams, obviously you are doing something right - whatever it is keep doing it. God Bless.

South AfricaUnfortunately, the very loud generator ran throughout the night for 3 nights, right outside our bedroom window, and we got no sleep. While we appreciate the power during loadshedding, the noise was untolerable. It would help to build a brick wall or room around it to isolate the noise a bit. It really made it difficult to go on game drives during the day after a long evening of no rest, which did unfortunately spoil the trip. Our TV also didn't work at all. There is no signal or connection throughout our stay.
The location is unbeatable, the facilities are fantastic, the view was incredible, and Chalets were comfortable, clean, and spacious.

South AfricaI loved everything about the property but had a bad experience where my credit card was charged by mistake. We made the lady at reception aware and she apologised and promised to do a refund. This was on the 27th of Jan and till now I’m waiting for my refund. This is unacceptable and has really inconvenienced my family a great deal as this is a very large amount of money. So many calls and emails later, we still waiting for refund🙄
The chalet was clean and beds very comfortable. It was facing the pool and river so we could see animals come to drink water and cool off. The breakfast was very tasty and a variety to choose from, staff very friendly as well.
