Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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...).

We enjoyed every bit of our stay at Casart and we would recommend the accommodation to everyone. The location is a 10/10 and with the infinity pool watching over the water pool, we were able to see amazing animals. The people that work at Casart (especially Sonia, Yannick, and Stanford) are very passionate about the animals and only care about making the stay as comfortable as possible for the guests. The food and facilities are very good as well and we do not have any complaints/tips that would have made the stay better.

NetherlandsGreat accomodation, great staff, great time, me and my girlfriend really enjoyed it uppermost. We realize after all that the stay was beyond our expectation. Within the scope of value of money, you get a very comfortable stay, with amazing facilities, very good food, and awesome adventures you will remember forever. The breakfast was very tasty and made with a personal touch. You can give up your preferences based on a choice selection, and the staff will make a wonderful very tasteful breakfast. The diner was also very good, a lot of variety, and the quality of the dishes we're awesome. The staff and people who are hired by this accomodation for the game tours: all very service-oriented, they know how to treath you. I wouldn't wish anything else, Sonja, her staff, and the animals in the Kruger made our stay a very very memorable stay. This is the place you want to be when you are on a safari in Kruger.

SwitzerlandThere is nothing we didn‘t like about this place
When we arrived we already got a really warm welcome. During the whole stay they just gave everything that were having a wonderful time. The Food was really deliceous and gots prepaired with lots of love! They have as well some really good wines there! The rondawel cabins were really cute and clean, there was everything inside what we needed, as well a fridge. The beds were really comfortable and as well sutable for tall people. The Hotpot heats up quite fast and gets nice warm. From the big Pool in front of the diningp lace youre having just a great view. We booked some tours with them as well, the guides are really experienced and just great guys! They explain a lot about the nature and the animals!

GermanyThere is not one thing we could complain about. The only disapointing aspect: all good things come to an end and so we had to leave this beautiful place. ;-)
We loved everything about this place. It is simply a paradise in the middle of pure and calm nature. We were especially blown away by the friendliness and open-hearted mentality of all the lovely staff. It felt like home and we would love to come back one day. A huge thank you to Sonia, the owner, who created such peaceful and welcoming atmosphere and her amazing crew who are making an outstanding job.

United KingdomNo problems.
The property was well maintained other than a few issues with the hot tubs. Hopefully, these get fixed some time soon. Other than the load shedding, we didn’t have any issues. Clean swimming pool with very helpful staff. To the point that Sonya went above and beyond to ensure we have authentic halaal traditional South African food to enjoy. Loved the fact they have open borders with Kruger, so safaris feel a lot more authentic than other gated game reserves.

GermanySituated in the middle of the Grietjie Gamereserve on the edge of the Kruger National Park and with arrival in the morning in Joburg convenient to reach the same day. Lodge, chalet, meals and especially the extremely nice and attentive team around owner Sonia (not selling :-)) leave nothing to be desired. And the tours through the reserve with the "in-house" guide are absolutely worthwhile and informative, a must - thanks again Happy! Only to recommend!

South AfricaYou can't choose what to eat for dinner they choose for you unless when you are allergic 😢. I modified my booking to a room with jacuzzi and included dinner on the price, but unfortunately on my departure i had to pay R1980 for dinner forcefully so 😢. The road to Casart very bad only suitable for 4x4, we had to hire a tow truck to load us out of the place, extra R1700. Place is so beautiful in pictures 🙄, when you get there it's different story, it actually doesn't deserve the price so ridiculous. The boat ride is booked outside the lodge of which you drive another 1h30 min in a bumpy road to get to the other lodge for the Boat. The owner is such a good pretender, i don't see myself go back there🤞, I'm now scared of the whole Grietjie.
The Game drive and massage was nice The boat ride was also nice, it's just that you get to drive for the whole 1h30 to the boat and back in mostly bumpy roads. The stuff is very kind but not the owner she's so pretending.
