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...).

Israelthe use of the spa was too expensive for a hot jacuzzi and a sauna. our rooms where far from each other - not so great for a family with kids. and in general - its not a very good hotel for young adults... it's better for honey moon couple.
it's a great little paradise. just in the middle of the forest. very unicqe experience. very good breakfast. really taking care of all the little details.

South AfricaNothing. Loved everything.
The place was breath taking....you walk in it feels like you entering heaven on earth. My room was just perfect for a solo trip. Staff - Wonderful, Bruce, Harry and Mike were amazing..they took care of me like a Queen. By the way it was my birthday so I lived my dream literally. The Forest Spa was heaven ..therapeutic and magical. The spa treatments was world class. Loved the variety of the food. I can't fault this place. Let's talk about room 2 I was booked in and 1 next door mine n reception. You would hear everything to the cough, the conversation, the food smelling in the morning for breakfast then music from reception and staff talking. I didn't mind cos it felt home for me since I grew so font of the staff, someone who need a very quiet time since the place offers that might want any room other than 2 and 1. Being on solo trip and could hear the other room midmorning having sex shocked me that the two rooms dont have much privacy 🤔. 🌹 Rose

South AfricaAbsolutely nothing.
Hotel staff were very accommodating and available to assist wherever required. The hotel only has five rooms, so you are given personalised individual attention. We requested halaal meals, and the chef, Bruce, went out of his way to accommodate our request, giving us exceptional breakfasts and dinners. The spa experience was wonderful, with a warm bubbly jacuzzi and sauna to warm you on a winters evening. The 1km dirt road leading to the hotel is well kept, and does not require a 4x4 to traverse. Taking a walk along this dirt road also allows you to spot some of the monkeys from monkeyland 😊 We definitely consider ourselves part of the Trogon family after our stay there. Thanks to Wonderful, Bruce, Carol, Brenda, Harry and Marco for contributing to the exceptional experience. Overall a wonderful place to cut off, destress and find seclusion in a forest environment. Will definitely be going back!

South AfricaLoad shedding.
Immersed in the trees, each cabin meticulously placed, the breathtaking views surrounding each cabin, is nothing short of spectacular. The mostly glass structure is instrumental in the ambience created in this beautiful setting. The staff is kind and warm. I big thank you to, Wonderfull, Marko, Bruce, Brenda and Carol. Amazing people, in this hidden gem. Be sure to book a 2hour exclusive spa session, with champagne and a platter. Wonderfull gave us such an amazing set up with candles and a crackling fire… in our room as well as the private spa session. Very romantic… Through in a couples massage and you have a recipe for a truly romantic, relaxing evening. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable.

Location (middle of the forest), construction (a tree house!), decor, comfort, balcony towards the forest, shower with floor-to-ceiling window towards the forest, view at breakfast, the food (both breakfast and dinner), fireplace at dinner, the singing of the birds and croaking of the frogs.
