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 AfricaThat we had to leave
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Every day when we got home the pool was cleaned and already hot. The bed was comfy and the tent is very spacious. The braai area was great for sitting around the fire and you still have space to braai. Hot water all the time.

South AfricaNoise and Privacy Issues: The noise from the neighboring unit continued to be a major issue. Despite the manager's assurances that he would speak to the noisy guests, the situation did not improve. At one point, the music was turned down, but it quickly became extremely loud again, disrupting our attempt at a peaceful retreat. The manager seemed at a loss for how to handle the situation and eventually referred us to the next property for a quieter stay. We also encountered privacy issues with the hot tub, which was visible from two different units. Although it was clean and functional, the lack of privacy was disappointing. I requested an old sheet or blanket to cover the wood fence for some form of seclusion, but the manager did not follow through on this request. Overall, our stay was less than satisfactory due to the excessive noise and lack of privacy. While the property had potential, these issues overshadowed the positives. We could have managed the detached facilities and worked around the visible hot tub if the noise levels had been controlled. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of our expectations for a restful and tranquil getaway. We reached out requesting a refund but was told this was a cancellation and they cannot refund us. We requested they should reconsider but no response.
Accommodation Review: Disappointing Experience with Noise and Privacy Issues Our recent visit at this property was a mixed experience, with some positive aspects overshadowed by significant negatives. Here's a detailed account of our visit: Arrival and Check-In: Navigating to the property using Google Maps was very easy. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly security personnel, which gave a good first impression. However, the check-in process at reception was a bit different than we expected. Despite this, everything went smoothly, and a gentleman escorted us to our accommodation – a fully structured tent. Accommodation: The tent was advertised as a 4-star unit according to South African standards, but it didn't quite live up to that rating. Firstly, the noise and music from the neighboring unit were extremely loud, which significantly impacted our experience. On the positive side, the tent itself was clean. Facilities: When we inquired about the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet, we were informed that they were detached from the unit. The separate structure was locked with a security gate, and we were advised to keep it locked for safety. This raised a red flag, especially since our tent could not be locked and was made of material. The manager mentioned that the security was necessary due to the large number of people present that weekend, which didn't alleviate our concerns.

South AfricaThe white towels were cleans but the color is fading has they don't have the white shiness. I suggest you soak them with washing powder, vinegar and bicarbonate or soda to bring back the white brightness colour. Other than that everything was great the place was very cleans and daily housekeeping.
I enjoyed the jacuzzi. The chalet has nice privacy. I'll definitely book again

South AfricaWe have no complaints, keep up the excellent service!
We enjoyed everything about our stay - from the comfort and coziness that the luxury tent offers to the hot tub and the views that come with it, that makes it perfect for when you stay here in summer or winter. The privacy per unit is perfect. The service rendered by the staff was exceptional! If you are looking for a place to recharge or find peace and enjoy the beauty of nature, this is the place to book!

South AfricaWhen we arrived the room was smelling like mould, the towels were smelling like they were wet for days and were kept there to dry off, we had neighbors that threw a party until 02am and no security came to reprimand them, there was an offensive smell around the jacuzzi. The security is not so good I mean we just drive in and out with an automatic gate no searching nothing. The place is too close to the road so we barely slept at night.
We loved the jacuzzi and the tent experience. The staff was excellent especially the guy that worked at the reception, he drove around the lodge to check on things, anything we needed he delivered and in time and he was very friendly too from check-in to check out.

NetherlandsIn our opinion was the ratio quality versus price, very bad. Everything the site promised was available. But the state of everything: the furniture, the stove, the curtains, etc. was very bad. We didn't feel comfortabel at the location. Tranquil's Nest supposed to be a 4 star location. In our opinion was the rating of 4 stars, much tot high.
