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 AfricaBookings dot com do not put in allot of effort communicating the details after making arrangements. Its more like it an automate machine doing the work. No Numbers was supplied to contact to ensure that due to the flight delay i will be late. Luckily on my arrival there was a number on the board
The people and staff are very friendly, and really ensure you to make you feel comfortable and at home. I would recommend friends and family to stay there

South AfricaI really wish they had a telephone to contact the admin whenever one needs them urgently … the rooms would be extra nice had they had a microwave in them….. the shower would be great if it had an actual door/slide… to avoid water spilling out side of the shower…. The bathroom door is missing which isn’t good for people using the toilet and there are people inside the room

South AfricaI did not like the fact that there was no bathroom door on the room. A simple sliding door could work well for privacy. Also, there was no place to hang your wet towels and costumes. The lack of communication when you arrive, we learned as we went... they should tell us everything when we get there about the hotel and surrounds We felt that the advertising for the year end party was false and did not materialize, also no communication Lastly, no generator to the rooms, making it unpleasant when we had no power
The rooms were modern, the quality of linen was excellent. The small touches to the decor was also very nice The bathroom was also newly done The food at the restaurant was really good

South AfricaNo dustbins were provided, which is a necessity. 1 bed in each room did not duvets on them, just a sheet, when we requested for duvets, only one duvet was given. No floor towels were provided, we had to ask for them. There was one bathing towel missing in the room, which we had to ask for. Towels were thin and bad quality. Hairdryer, and iron had to be requested and were not readily available in the rooms. Lots of noise from 6AM for both the mornings we stayed for. Noise came from other guests screaming in the parking lot, when we informed reception, nothing was done about it. No security at the entrance gate, gate stays open whole day and night. No phones in the rooms to contact reception.
Friendly and helpful staff, clean, neat and newly renovated.

South AfricaOne aspect that left a negative impression was the restrictive policies surrounding the use of the braai facilities. Specifically, the requirement to purchase braai packs from the restaurant or hotel facilities without considering individual dietary needs or preferences. A more customer-centric approach would be to offer an alternative, such as a fee for using the facilities, rather than a blanket policy that prioritizes hotel sales over guest satisfaction. Additionally, we would like to commend the cleaning staff for their exceptional friendliness and helpfulness. However, we recommend that they be provided with uniforms that clearly identify them as hotel staff. This would enhance the professionalism of their appearance and avoid confusion, as we experienced when a staff member knocked on our door without clear identification. Furthermore, we noticed an inspection hole in the bathroom that was left open, exposing wiring and creating an unprofessional appearance. We strongly recommend that this issue be addressed as soon as possible to maintain a safe and well-maintained environment for guests.
We were pleased with our stay, particularly with the friendly staff. However, we do recommend installing a door on the bathroom to provide guests with greater privacy. On a positive note, the location was convenient, with close proximity to shopping centers and restaurants.
