How guest reviews work
Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewThe room was lovely and conveniently furnished. A comfortable bed, a convenient desk with chair and a kettle with coffee and tea are provided. The staff are friendly and willing to help. Safe parking is provided. There are two beautiful swimming pools. The guesthouse is just up the road from a shopping centre and several restaurants and pubs.
Even though shops and eateries are located nearby, I would not recommend walking there after dark for safety reasons.
Dear Marzanne Thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your feedback. Best regards, Nondu

Verified reviewRyan and Bongani went out of their way to make us feel welcome and provided everything we needed or asked for. Staff service was really excellent. Breakfast was very tasteful and we even used the swimming pool and that was a great experience. Absolutely awesome stay.
The drive from the location to friends staying in the CBD was not good, CBD is off putting with the taxis and road quality in all areas are terrible. Maybe share this with your local municipality.
Dear Collette Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the serenity of our location, the excellent service from Ryan and Bongani, and the delicious breakfast. We're also glad you had a great time using the swimming pool! Regarding your comments about the drive to the CBD, we completely understand your concerns. We'll definitely pass on your feedback to the local municipality in the hopes that they can improve the road conditions and taxi situation. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us! We hope to welcome you back soon. Best regards, Nondu

Verified reviewEverything about the place is great but the cleaning stuff did not change our towels at all except for that everything was great I would go there again.
Our towels were not changed for the 4 days we were there
Good day Sekgametsi Thank you so much for leaving us feedback relating to your stay and for choosing Roseland House for your accommodation needs. We can say with certainty that towels were definitely changed during your stay, especially since there was times when towels were taken to the beach and used around the pool area. However if towels were used after housekeeping had been to your rooms we would have needed you to bring to our attention that you needed fresh towels. Aside from this we are happy to hear that your stay was great and you will stay with us again. Thank you Ryan

Verified reviewRyan,the manager was wonderful.Nothing was too much trouble for him.Breakfast each morning was outstanding.
No fridge in room.
Good day Andrew Thank you so much for leaving us feedback relating to your stay and for choosing Roseland House for your accommodation needs. We have fridges in all our rooms that are outside the main building as it is more convenient for guests and the rooms are a bit more spacious, however due to the fact that you needed single beds you were housed in the main building but are more than welcome to store anything you need in the fridge that is in the kitchen. Its unfortunate that we did not chat about this during your stay as we would have definitely ensured your cold supplies were stored safely in the fridge. We hope to see you and your daughter again soon. If you don't mind we would appreciate it very much if you could also leave us a review on the Google link below: https://g.page/r/CSQ8Y_pBLkM0EAI/review Thank you Ryan
