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 AfricaWe couldn't have breakfast because we had to leave too early. They could have just offered a muffin, yoghurt and a fruit hamper or give us a refund on the breakfast part.

South AfricaWe were moved to another similar room because the one booked's TV did not work. The room's curtains were all open and it was VERY hot inside - maybe considering closing curtains on hot days and if known bookings, turn on aircon so long . Bathroom basin plug did not work and the drain was clogged.
The breakfast was awesome as always - well prepared and delicious. Location is perfect, 2km from my office and the facilities are very nice

The accommodation was top notch! Loved the huge rooms and lovely bathrooms. We had a really good stay. The house is ideally located, and it is in a very secure estate, which makes it perfect for anyone to stay at.

South AfricaNobody at reception when we checked in - had to fetch staff at the back of the property. Not proper soap in room. Hot water in shower turns ice cold and after a while hot again. Shower head partially blocked and worn. Bathing towels old and too small. TV not tuned in.
Excellent breakfast. Room was big and clean. Bed was really comfortable, and we slept well. Enough hanging space in cupboard, with nearly enough coat hangers. Cold bottled water in fridge was appreciated.

South AfricaI selected "pay at premises" option when making the booking, which was confirmed in the email by booking.com - stating categorically that NO upfront payment is required. However, Links guesthouse just went ahead a snatched the amount from my credit card 4 days prior to arrival without any prior warning. One member in our group was supposed to pay all of our stay - now I have to do a long claim process, which was not supposed to be the case. If the guesthouse wants to secure their cashflow upfront, that is fine - BUT then that should be clearly communicated while making the booking. I believe Links guesthouse is deliberately selling "lenient" terms to get customers - but have no intention of honoring those terms. Also, I requested the paying organization to be copied in the email for the tax invoice - obviously this wasn't done. Also, it isn't ideal that the breakfast didn't take place at the premises or even in the estate - we had to drive to a restaurant few km away.

South AfricaSmall things - need to check that there are more than just Rooibos tea in the room refreshment thing. Why don't you switch to keycards?
the b'fast was fine. Good enough, can't complain. I can't complain about the location - my assistant chose it because it worked for our investigation as a base. Interested in the whole 'live in a gated golf club' lifestyle - I suppose recreates the safe village of long ago! I'm not a big fan of brutalist architecture, but the room was fine, and I liked the chance to lie in a hot bath!

AustraliaThe presentation was not good, the fact that things was advertise as been available but wasn’t, no bar, no lunch or dinner available at the property no minibar, it was advertised that washing and ironing was available as a paid service I asked and was told that its not available. Dishes were piled up and un washed for long periods. No cups to make coffee. Milk was supplied un sealed glass bottles and was sour. There was ants every where. The towels , was stained and table cloths was dirty and not replaced frequently. It was not five star as it was made out to be. We did not feel very safe as the doors were not locked every thing was left open. Even the security gate is permanently open. The lighting is very poor, in most of the living areas.
The building is nice and spacious, and in a good location, in a secured estate.
