How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewBouBou Guesthouse is a hidden gem nestled on the outskirts of Rustenburg, South Africa. Its location is ideal for those seeking tranquility, as it overlooks the pristine African bush where nyalas and impalas roam freely on a sprawling 25-hectare property. Situated just a 45-minute drive from Pilanesberg National Park and Sun City Resort, it offers easy access to popular attractions while maintaining a peaceful retreat2. Whether you're looking for a serene escape or a convenient base for exploration, BouBou Guesthouse strikes the perfect balance.
Nothing...everything was perfect! A perfect location paired with a stay where everything meets your expectations is truly rare. It seems this place is a haven for those seeking not only scenic beauty but also impeccable hospitality.

Verified reviewBou went beyond my expectations and delivered a more than expected breakfast after telling her I am not a big breakfast fan and she can just leave some fruit salad and joghurt, she did not do that she made me eggs and bacon and Toast nice healthy toast. the second morning I go a fantastic jam filled omelette with all my favourite contents. The rooms were clean, the towels were fluffy and white and they had enough blankets for the one nippy night. it is a safe and very secure site and actually the perfect spot for a small family weekend in the bush and it is pet friendly. will definately visit them again
Nothing this is the best B&B I have stayed in in a very long time. they really go all out even had a welcome board in Reception for me.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that Boubou went above and beyond to make your breakfast special, and it’s fantastic to know you enjoyed the eggs, bacon, and the jam-filled omelet. We take great pride in maintaining clean and comfortable accommodations, and we’re glad you found everything to your liking, from the fluffy towels to the cozy blankets. It’s also great to hear that you felt safe and secure during your stay and appreciated our pet-friendly policy. We strive to create a welcoming environment for families and their furry friends. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay in the bush! Warm regards, Marnice and Boubou team.
