Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

South AfricaThe property has 2 pools, one private which is attached to a certain cottage and a big communal one. Couldn't get into the bigger pool as it was not cleaned. The pool area also had feacal droppings (not sure if they are from humans or apes as there's some who wander around the yard from time to time). Also didn't get to use Wi-Fi as we couldn't connect/unavailable. One plate from the stove tripped electricity, which was not a big deal as the rest of the plates worked just fine. I recommend the property to invest in Netflix, the available DSTV bouquet was a bit boring. I also suggest proper signage for the offices/reception area as we didn't know where to go on arrival.
We booked literally a few hrs before checking in and the place was available and ready for us on arrival. Loved everything about the property, serenity of the surroundings, privacy of the place, the fact that it's deep in the bundus and was not crowded, almost everything was just superb. Our cottage was homely and had everything we needed. We were also given tennis balls and rackets to play tennis on the t/court which was very much enjoyable. The chapel was also open the whole time for one to use if you needed to pray in privacy, which was great! The staff were also helpful throughout our stay, bought us a few items from the shops (at a charge of course). A big thanks to Lerato, she deserves bells!

Pieter was responsive with my questions prior to arrival. He was there to great us. We decided to stay an extra night as the space suited our needs.

South AfricaThere is a gravel road (10 minutes) that leads to the property. While you can get there in a car, you should be aware of it.
The property is quite and you can spot some animals from the room.

South AfricaAs others have mentioned the road is pretty bad, but we managed in our small car, driving slow. The hiking routes are quite overgrown and not that easy to follow at the top. We got very lost. Even without getting lost I would say you have to be pretty fit. The paths are all very steep with lots of loose rocks. It is beautiful though. My main complaint is that both pools at the valley lodge were very green during our stay. But we did get a quick swim in the sparkling mountain lodge pool.
The lodge is really beautiful, just like the photos! Cottage had everything we needed and beds were really comfortable. We had the place to ourselves which was awesome. Just a note that often both the mountain and valley lodges are booked out by groups, which means the hotel restaurant isn't always open. So either bring all food with or be prepared to take a short drive to neighboring lodges for restaurants. We went to Esther's for dinner which was excellent.
