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 AfricaThis wasn’t their fault but the rain had washed away bridges on the hikes and some of the trails were just pure mud and not very accessible for elderly/less fit.
Beautiful dreamy setting, clean rooms, comfortable furniture and bedding, amazing fully equipped kitchen! Easy to access on cemented road. Loved the 2 sleeper chalets, walks were beautiful but hopefully next time it won’t be as wet/rainy.

Germanyit can be difficult with a lot of luggage because you cant park near the chalet, but staff helped us with our bags. There was no wifi at all while we were there, not even in the common room as we were told. Not terrible to not have wifi in the chalets, but a bit inconvenient if you dont have any access at all.
The location is beautiful, the chalets are very well equipped and clean. the views from the patio are incredible

AustraliaThe things we didn't like, and understandably, it's not something Sungubala can control, but the controlled burning of the veld opposite our room, and across the valley over our entire stay wasn't great. The hike was poorly signposted in some areas
Amazing views, great room. Armstrong gave us a very warm welcome. The pool was amazing after a long hike. The kitchen was amazing, it was lovely sitting in the kitchen having a meal and watching the Eland and Baboons stroll across the mountains.

SpainThe kitchen has few utensils. There are no shops or restaurants nearby, it is far from everything, so it is necessary to cook there and there were few utensils.
It is a wonderful place in a wonderful environment. The decoration of the rooms and common areas is exquisite. The room is very comfortable. The views are a dream.
