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 Africauuhm. look, you're going for a kind of experience, and if you can read and look at photos, you can figure out if this is the vibe for you. they are very friendly, there's no skimping on that. the accommodation is quirky and funky, but clean and comfortable, but it's not the hyatt, and it doesn't try to be. so be lekker. food is really great but if you don't want to pay for every meal at the on-site restaurant (other than breakfast) book a unit where you can braai. (you can't run off and get a loaf of bread down the road, you're in the sticks) we had a fridge and a cool coffee pod coffee maker in the very tiniest of airstreams, so we had our romantic snacks in the evening after a late lunch. a previous time we were at the hideout or hideaway which is really in the nowhere, and there we kind of felt we wanted to phone a friend to be mister delivery or something. we left our car behind at reception and were driven up the mountain roads. you won't have that problem if you're in one of the airstreams. maybe the best policy is just to do your shopping before you leave gordon's bay / caledon, depending where you're coming from. grabouw has a spar and a pick n pay but if you miss those extended hours you're stuck with express shops and weird little places that charge an arm and a leg, so bring your own cooler bag with stuff to put in your own fridge. having said that - it's a breakaway on an apple farm where the hills keep rolling for days. you can lose the kids at the beach and have adult conversation and a massage. who cares about bread...
the breakie at old mcdaddy is always fresh, and delicious. there's food that caters for vegans, and there's food that caters for meat eaters / everything eaters. the vegan cuisine is quite good. the zen den spa rocks. and it's quite affordable. we stayed in birdie, the tiniest of the units, but it doesn't feel tiny because the bathroom is yours only, and the view from your hammocks on the stoep is spectacular.

South AfricaThe fact that we couldn't quad bike and the music was played from YouTube with ads in between... (sometimes the guest would play they're own music, catering to what they like and not thinking of other guests... I suggest getting a Dj for happy hour at the beach
Staff was amazing... Myself and my partner, initially booked at Elgin River Lodge. When they cancelled we were very sad but now we're grateful it happen. Old daddy gave us a VIP treatment... A presidential one to be exact.

South AfricaThe caravans are looking a little tired…wallpaper starting to peal…maintenance needing attention. restaurant staff a little slow on the service. not great to not inform us that we would need to shift rooms halfway through our stay…but enjoyed the bigger caravan. Would be great to have some entertainment for adults and kids.
Beautiful surroundings…with a lovely glamping concept. Dam activities fun. Food was tasty. Immediately offers solutions if there’s any issues.

South AfricaThe trailers could be redone or upgraded as our one was a little dated and could do with some revamping. The cabins are quite close to one another. So many children. Almost every single guest had kids except us. We were expecting a romantic getaway. Breakfast was okay.
Views, decks connected to the trailers, quaintness, staff. Ambience was special. Beautiful setting.
