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 AfricaThe only thing I did not like was that my stay was too short, I should have booked for a longer period 😂. The place is amazing.
The Spa was a whole different experience, the restaurant had an ambiance beyond the Johannesburg atmosphere, the Hotel was and hospitality as a whole was awesome.

South AfricaFor both the two days we stayed there we bathed with cold water in the mornings - there was no hot water We ate breakfast at the hotel, we had to ask almost everything from the waiters. The first morning the waiter who saved so well, the second morning we had to ask almost everything.
The environment is good, the staff is welcoming. We arrived a bit late and the lady by the reception was very welcoming and helped so well with everything including taking our bags to the room. The rooms were clean.

Exceptional staff and exceptional facilities! Their service is impeccable! One gentleman at the reception helped me make a last minute spa booking despite them having a heavy agenda. Not encouraging they work beyond their capacity but really appreciated their efforts in going above and beyond expectations for their guests. Breakfast was also splendid! So much variety as we had a breakfast included option. Only the muesli, cereal, yoghurts and pastries were on buffet but eggs and any other option were ordered and served with so much love. Presentation of the served dishes was beautiful!

South AfricaOur expectations were greatly exceeded! Had brought my husband for his birthday and can't stop complimenting the wonderful experience we had during our 2nights stay. The rooms were really cozy and comfortable with modern furniture. We had all our meals at Brambles restaurant - food was divine, dining ambience is top notch and staff was incredibly friendly. Our Spa treatment was also another great highlight of the weekend🤗!!!

AustraliaThe music coming from the pool area and the restaurant was a bit loud. Had hoped it was quieter and tranquil but did not quite get that. can understand it being a little louder on the weekends when other patrons are there but this was pretty much all the time. it took away from what would have been a beautiful relaxing stay.
it was clean and comfortable and had beautiful gardens.

South AfricaThe food to me was a-bit lacking. Lunch we had steak & chips, the sauces that accompanied the steak I didn’t like at all. Dinner we had seafood, not a lot of seasoning & again the sauces not too great. I will give it a 7 out of 10. Swimming pool closes at 19h00 - not sure why.
The property is beautiful. The rooms are great! It is very peaceful & tranquil.
