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...).

The cabin is an absolute gem! Modern, clean, and fresh, very private. The perfect place to make beautiful memories. Stunning scenery of the mountain, friendly host, this accommodation deserves a 10/10! We will be back.

South AfricaThe shower temperature, struggle to set the temp, water was either too hot or too cold. The hot tub water temperature. I burnt 3 bags of wood in the hot tub but the water didn't want to get warm.
The location of the place is perfect. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. WiFi worked well.

South AfricaRoad noise from the passing vehicles was a minor irritant but the mountain views more than compensated.
Very clean and neat cabin with a private hot tub was the perfect 2 day break from a busy schedule. Great 90 minute hike on the property means that we had no reason to leave the cabin for the duration of the stay

South AfricaThe shower temperature didn’t work so well, it was either extremely hot or ice cold. A suggestion to perhaps get the hot tub started for the guests before arrival so that when they arrive the tub is ready for them!
I loved how private the spot was, everything was comfortable and modern.

NetherlandsStruggled with the shower...extremely hot or cold. Bed sloped into the middle a bit. Cabin was extremely hot but luckily a cool wind came up in the evening. We tried to walk to the waterfall but there was no clear path after a short while so we had to turn back. We didn't have much of an outlook as we were so surrounded by bush. It was a bit close to the road...would have liked to be further in.
The deck and tub. The decor and layout in cabin. The nature and privacy.

South AfricaUnfortunately there's no air con, no microwave and no built in cupboard to pack away clothing. We were a little concerned about lack of security as the cabin is very close to the main road and you also hear the trucks on the road from the cabin.
The cabin was comfortable, clean and neat. If you looking for a private romantic getaway in the bushes with complete privacy, this is ideal. We especially enjoyed the deck with the tub and braai facility. Evening times were exceptionally beautiful under the stars. The bed was comfortable and the linen was lovely and clean. Kitchen is well stocked with just enough. The host was helpful when we ran out of wood and she was quick to respond.
