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 AfricaNot sure if the restaurant stuff is new or what but they not the friendliest bunch of people. One take our order the other brings our food, not even checked if we had the right crockery we had to even ask for simple things such as steak knifes, salts and pepper. A room next to us was maintained on Sunday morning we were woken up by the guys working in it which was not really considerate of us being there. The cleanliness in the dining room. The chairs are wood but they were all dusty at least those I saw.
It's a beautiful place since it was not my first time at the hotel

South AfricaThere was a kettle and rusks in the room, but no coffee or tea! The carpets are extremely dirty, and the furniture and decor are outdated. It belongs to the '60s. The place has a lot of potential, but it needs a serious makeover and upgrade. Everything looks tired.
The location is excellent and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was average. the same as everywhere.

South AfricaI didn't like the stained carpets in room 21. The bathroom probably needs refurbishment. At some point, the electricity plugs were dysfunctional in room 55 [the villa], and the TV was not working. Refurbishment could benefit the hotel.
I loved the scenery and the beauty of Magoebaskloof. I enjoyed the misty weather. It was beautiful 😍 🤩 The bedding in room 55 [ the villa] was clean and perfect. Thank you for that. I also liked the body massage, The food was well prepared, thank you to the chef. I hope the hotel can introduce meat free dishes in the future.

South AfricaNever gonna get to book at magoebaskloof hotel ever again!!
The place looked good from the outside. My parent’s rooms keycard was not working, the water was dirty we thought maybe if we ran it for some few minutes it would be clean but it wasn’t, I don’t know if it was the pipes or not but it was all brown, we had to brush our teeth with bottled water because we couldn’t put that filthy water in our mouths. When my parents room was changed there was no water in the room and when I asked the stuff for some all she said to me was “you know your parents aren’t supposed to even be in that room and that’s why they had no water they should’ve taken the one in the room you booked for them”, I was like how on earth were we supposed to know that they won’t be getting it in their room and how were we supposed to get in the room I booked for them because the keycard was not working? I didn’t like the way she spoke to me. I’ll never book there

South AfricaI did want to bring to your attention a couple of areas where we believe improvements could be made. We noticed an unpleasant smell in the carpets of our rooms, which detracted from the otherwise wonderful atmosphere of the hotel. Additionally, the fans in our rooms were not functioning, which made our stay a bit uncomfortable during warmer periods. We believe that addressing these issues will greatly enhance the overall experience for future guests. Thank you for your attention to these matters, and we look forward to the possibility of returning to Magoebaskloof Hotel in the future.
Overall, our experience was superb. The ambiance of the venue and the hospitality of your staff truly exceeded our expectations. We were particularly impressed by the warm welcome we received at reception and the exceptional service provided by your maintenance staff member, whose name I unfortunately do not remember. He went above and beyond by even washing our cars, a gesture that we greatly appreciated.
