Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. 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 review scores we’ve received. We’re currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like 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...).

South AfricaNothing, it’s so well looked after it’s perfection.
It was like paradise, loved the roses, the tallest most beautiful trees, the old world charm that was gracious and quaint. The horses the beautiful green hills, everything was close but you had your space, just gorgeous . The drive through Mooi River was a little sad, as it’s so run down, but as soon as you enter the property you are transported into a different world. The small details put in place to ensure you are comfortable was unlike I have seen. Truly remarkable spot right here in KZN. PLUS The breakfast was fabulous, with Parma ham, melon and delicious homemade muffins and followed by some delightful unique hot served breakfasts … plus one of the best cappuccino’s !!

We loved the garden cottage - so luxurious, private and spacious. we loved the welcome we received , being taken to our unit and the care the butler took to explain all about the facilities and plan for the evening ahead. The tasting menu experience is of course amazing but the breakfast every time stands out as exceptional.

South AfricaWould be nice for the Tennis court to be working and the dam to have fish in. My son is an avid fisherman and was looking forward to some fishing but there is no fish in the dam.
What an incredible place to visit! The rooms are so comfortable, stylish and just a delight to be in. The food is SUBLIME! Tasting menu is a must! The kids went on a Stud Farm tour that they enjoyed so much! My son enjoyed riding the bike. I really cant wait to come and visit in summer to enjoy the spectacular gardens in full bloom. The staff are all so kind and caring! Thank you for an amazing time!

South AfricaCarrying all the bottles and other goodies to the breakfast table was a bit of a hassle. The dinning room in the evening a bit drafty - candle flame at 45 degrees? Bathroom louvres tilted such that someone outside could look down to see someone in the bath. (This is a common problem as people automatically close louvres from the inside not realising that they are making it easier for someone outside to look in.) We arrived in the dark, not sure where to park - sign hidden in overgrown foliage.
All meals great. Rooms cosy, comfortable and of a decent size.
