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.).

South AfricaThere were a few things missing from the kitchen but that wasn't too much of a bother. It was a pity that we couldn't open both sliding doors in the cottage as the view was stunning. And unfortunately, there was noise every day, from the lawn mower to the weedeater to the leaf blower. But these were all easy to live with compared to the rest of our surroundings.
The dam was beautiful. There were many lovely places to visit nearby. The forest was magical and just outside our little flatlet. I was very excited to discover that Cat runs a Forest School from the farm. There's just such a wonderfully friendly and comfortable atmosphere at the farm. Very helpful staff and all friendly faces.

South AfricaThey could perhaps add an a few extra bath mats in the bathroom, and give the guest softer towels to use.
Wonderful surroundings, lakes, mountains and forest. Very close to different activities. So peaceful. The kitchen was well-stocked with cutlery and appliances.

South AfricaWifi only at reception, the open cupboards which made the kitchen look cluttered, and there was no space for groceries. The towels were really dry and scratchy (couldn't use them on our bodies). The linen on the one bed in the smaller bedroom looked and smelt used, but my daughter quickly changed to the other bed because she was alone.
The location, privacy of each chalet and the nature aspects (small hiking forest, fire wood, dams, the peacefulness etc). Only interacted with the facility manager, who was extremely friendly and helpful in every way. She gave us a map of the whole area and facilities, which we are already using to plan our return there - very useful. Also gave useful tips for nature lovers, and we just loved every bit.

South AfricaSome parts of the property where dilapidated. I dont blame them because with Covid many places have closed down and with investments its hard.
The place was tranquil, i liked our room it had a nice view,i almost didn't wana leave . For the fact that it remains open during this pandemic says alot about their resilience. Yes a few things need to be fixed specially on the rooms at the back .but i saw they are working on it. One tip though lol, cut the grass on the yard cz some areas on the yard where not easy to access. Please please stay strong and keep opened.oli would like to come back for the 3rd time ,this time with friends to experience the lovely place you have

South AfricaSwimming pool was green the entire time we were there, didn't seem as if any maintenance were on site during our stay. The rooms are not serviced daily and you will run out of toilet paper if you are there for more than 1 night, so be prepared. No cover for cars during thunderstorms and no covered veranda/patio to sit outside and braai during inclement weather. Beds were also uncomfortable and no wifi.
Lovely tranquil location with beautiful mountain and dam views.

South AfricaAccommodation is a bit dated - old looking furniture and decor.
Great location and a perfect option for a one or two night stay. The cottages are quite private and there are beautiful gardens that surround the self catering cottages. It's a very peaceful place to stay.
