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 AfricaThere is nothing that I can say was bad... everything was great! I would love to have this as my home!
This was by far the best stay I had for my time off. Mountain magic exceeded all my expectations and more! The location was perfect, Great view for a beautiful sunset, the hot tub is perfectly located for a good peaceful view. The braai facilities were excellent, every aspect of my stay here was perfect, from the check in, to check out! The night was quite cold, and I though what are the odds of having electric blankets - and they did!!! Thank you so much for an amazing stay!

South AfricaDon't park in area reserved for 4x4. Difficult to get out if area is wet.
Location is great. Spent a night on our trip down the garden route. Should have stayed longer. Remote location but still close to beach, hikes and great resturants

SwitzerlandFirst of all: yes, the views really are this incredible!!! The surroundings are absolutely breathtaking. We loved having our coffee on the porch overlooking the wilderness. The hosts were very friendly. Communication was great and instructions were clear. Accomodation was clean and very stylish, beds were also very comfy. We were very grateful that they had heated matresses as it got quite chilly during the night. Very agreeable stay with the most amazing views.

South AfricaIf all the rooms interlinked that would’ve been amazing, but this is nitpicking and only because we have small kids, as this would’ve made it a little easier during night time.
The endless views, absolutely breathtaking! My family and I had a great Christmas there, thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and just general feel of the home. Megan was incredible at giving recommendations and answering our general questions.

South AfricaThat the rooms weren’t connected. We were traveling with 2 young kids which we couldn’t leave alone in a room. It wouldn’t discourage us from staying again though and I understand that connecting the 2 rooms isn’t really possible.
The views were amazing and the containers were tastefully decorated and had everything we needed.

United KingdomEverything! An amazing place to stay, even more private than it looks in the pictures. The views over the river and to the sea are incredible, the outdoor bath is a great novelty, loads of parking. A nice easy 20 min walk you can do in the grounds. The yoga deck is fab for chilling or doing a workout.

South AfricaThe only downside was that our two-bedroom accommodation consisted of two separate containers one of which didn’t have a bathroom or a kitchen so we had to run to the other container to use the facilities which wasn’t much fun in the rain.
What a great idea to turn containers into accommodations! We had absolutely everything we needed for our short stay, really enjoyed it. The views were beautiful. Shame it rained and we didn’t get to use the outdoor space much, but I can imagine how lovely it is when it’s warm.

South AfricaLay-out for second cabin/room need to get out in cold to get to bathroom. No mirror in bedrooms to blow dry hair ect. The fire place cause alot of smoke inside the second cabin and is quite old but was still nice to have and the wood supplied was very much appreciated If rain can’t braai even when cold and wind as no coverage. Think cabin 2 layout is beautiful and would definitely book there again
The view, unique setup. Quietness special touches in the rooms.
