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...).

United StatesI traveled during February which is a pretty decent time. Weather is really nice during the day with average temps in the mid to late 70's. However, the night time temp drops to about mid to early 60's so I was hoping the hotel pool would be heated. lol I was informed that it was not so unfortunately I was not able to swim in the beautiful pool. I was very nice to look at in the night time.
Location was convenient for rideshare. Hotel was guarded and secure. Breakfast was delightful but wish it was offered at a specific time. Had to leave my room and wait for breakfast. Also, ate breakfast alone which was okay but it left much to be desired considering I was looking forward to meeting some of the other hotel residents and travelers.

My husband and I loved everything about the hotel, all staff members are very friendly and welcoming, the welcome drinks we didn't even expect was a bonus, how the owner Mr Ndaba interact with his guests made us feel at home, the place is very clean, and rooms are luxury and eloquent, pictures on booking.com didn't do justice about the beauty of that place, very classy I will rate it 5 star hotel. The garden view during the day and the lighting at night was amazing, the dining near the pool and bar was a very relaxing place and we could go sit there and do some of our work peacefully, breakfast was well presented and delicious.I fell in love with the fishes on a fish pond, the experience to see colorful fishes play was amazing for me. The place gave us value for our money and we would really love to visit this place again very soon

South Africa-
We had the most wonderful stay at 24 on Basil Boutique Hotel last weekend! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the security team with a refreshing cold towel and a welcome drink—such a thoughtful touch. Check-in was seamless, and the manager was incredibly friendly and attentive. To our delight, we even received an upgrade, which we truly appreciated! The rooms were beautifully appointed, featuring a cozy living area, a well-equipped small kitchen, and a spacious bathroom with both a bath and shower. The towels were excellent, and every detail was well thought out. On our first night, we enjoyed drinks by the pool, which was absolutely lovely. The manager even popped around for a chat—he is extremely hospitable and made us feel right at home. While we didn’t have breakfast due to our own plans, we noticed the pool was sparkling clean, and the bar area was impeccably maintained. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic stay—nothing was too much trouble. This hotel is exceptional value for money, and we will most definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

South AfricaMy room could have done with slightly better pillows, a gown and slippers, as I mostly find in the boutique hotels. Other than that, I would definitely recommend 24 on Basil to anyone visiting the Randburg area.
I loved the whole experience, especially the welcome drink I received! I also loved that I was welcomed by the owner himself, who actually allowed me to come in early and work from the lovely garden while my room was being prepared. The staff (Maureen) was amazing, very welcoming and made me a very delicious breakfast 😋 The room was fully equipped with a VERY FANCY microwave and a VERY FANCY kettle, a VERY FANCY shower, plus also had a washing machine. I joked with my husband that I should have brought some laundry with me 🤣
