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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

Other than the general friendliness I liked Hilda's willingness to allow my daughters friends to celebrate her birthday and the effort she made to make it special. I also loved that trails and walks are so easily accessible.

AustraliaI had an excellent stay at this property. The location is perfect for exploring Stellenbosch and the surrounding areas, the room was large, clean and comfortable. There was a large group of us staying, and the owners went above and beyond to make our time at the property stress free and memorable.

CanadaWe were visiting for the Cape Epic and used 4 Piet Retief as a base before and at the end of the race. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, finding secure spaces for our bikes and large bike bags, and even storing our bike bags in between our stays. The property was a calm and comfortable oasis to relax after hard days of racing. It is a short walk to the main downtown of Stellenbosch. We would highly recommend 4 Piet Retief to anyone staying in the Stellenbosch area, and would stay here again on a return visit

United KingdomThe rooms are a bit tired looking and could do with a revamp. Eg, wallpaper peeling off in places and the curtains in our room ( no 3) we’re absolutely filthy, particularly the linings. Venetian blinds in the bedroom kept out very little light so we were woken up very early by light flooding in. One blind was coming away from the ceiling. Shower has a lot of black mould in it. Sunloungers all looking rather old and tatty.
Great location and lovely , friendly staff

CanadaThe overall vibe is so fantastic I hesitate to mention, but I didn't give a10. Please understand, it exceeded my expectations , but Some general maintenance needs attention, a broken drawer in the room, the kreepy krawly in the pool not working. But these were so easy to ignore, and revel in the beauty of the establishment. NOTE, some rooms have a lot of steps to take, not for mobility challenged.
Great location, close to everything in Stellenbosch, which is a wonderful town to visit. Hilda is a caring and attentive hostess. Morris keeps the grounds immaculate, and insisted on helping me with my bags There is daily room service to the highest standard There's a common outdoor braai and sitting area where guests mingle. Delightful 🙂
