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 AfricaThe second room I booked at room 24 A.It had a plumbing problem from the night we arrived,they was water going all the way to the entrance of the room.They closed it of as it was coming from the 2nd toilet but I feel it could have been fixed before guests checked in as it looked like it was not a new problem
l liked the structural of the rooms.They are very spacious.Liked that the place is very family orientated.The place has alot of games the kids can enjoy .We adults enjoyed our Natural walk done by nonhlanhla.she is very down to earth and respectful towards people.In general most of the staff was helpful.

South Africa1. The 2 ladies doing our breakfast on Saturday morning messed up our orders. They were slow and seemed overwhelmed because we were a big crowd of 12, so they seemed confused about who ordered what. The lady wrote down our orders on 2 scrap pieces of paper which was very unprofessional. About 4 of us had to wait much longer to eat because of the delay and confusion with the order. We had planned horse riding at 10 but because of their mess up we had to change our horse riding to 12pm. Then when I had to pay for the food, I had to basically help her ring up the correct order by telling her what each one ate. She was very slow and unfriendly. We were very disappointed by the service given. My daughter was angry that she had to wait so long for her food which then delayed her horse riding. 2. The huge potholes leading up to the place was shocking! (But that’s not your property so I understand).
The property was clean, it had everything we needed and more, the kids enjoyed the games room and horse rides. The lady in charge of the games room was really kind and helpful and even kept the games room open until 8pm because the children didn’t want to leave. (You guys should really consider changing the closing time to 8pm instead of 6pm.) The Bon fire was awesome with friendly staff. My mum annoyed the spa as well. The best part for me, was the exceptional views all around us. It’s a stunning place.

South AfricaFirstly they need to get new heaters for room 32A&B .Worse service in the restaurant we waited 2 hours for our breakfast & the manager on duty didn’t seem to know what was the issue. We were told to book in advance for our horse riding on their watsup group of which we did . Turns out the admin of group we booked with was not on duty & our booking was not knowledgeable. Very frustrating why put their number if they not on duty .
It’s in a very secured environment. It’s far away from the busy city life. You can actual relax, hear the sounds of birds.

South AfricaNone it was great,we did however ask the reception to exchange a room from a 4 sleeper to an interleading 2 sleeper and she said it was not possible. So 2 of our group had to sleep on the couch. As they were under 18 and did not want to sleep alone. If the staff can go above and beyond for the client's as we were willing to sacrifice and expensive cottage for the 2 sleeper
Accomodation was beautiful, facilities amazing and everyone was very happy with the stay total of 32 people.

South AfricaPerhaps the kitchen utensils could be renewed and fresh milk is always a great idea.
One of the highlights of Midlands Saddle and Trout is the range of activities on offer. There is something for everyone, from hiking and horse riding to fishing and bird watching. The resort's location is also ideal for exploring the nearby Midlands Meander, a popular tourist route that takes visitors through picturesque countryside dotted with art galleries, craft shops, and restaurants. The staff at Midlands Saddle and Trout are friendly and knowledgeable, always on hand to offer advice and assistance. The restaurant serves delicious meals using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the bar is well-stocked with a wide range of drinks. Overall, I highly recommend Midlands Saddle and Trout for anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway in a stunning natural setting. It's the perfect place to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature.

South AfricaThe braai stand was a little far from the balcony but that was understood due to safety issues. The walk from the bar to the room was pretty daring in the dark. Perhaps some small lights on the pathway or road would have helped. Our phone lights came in handy.
Our arrival was with an exceptional start as an unplanned stay when we met Security Sandile. We did not have a booking and he was precise about the protocols of allowing us in Yet through all this, he still was so friendly and smiled the whole time through. We finally were afforded the best place on the premises...well my kids felt so...and had a safe and beautiful stay. The service was complimented by an active whatsapp invite to all announcements of load shedding and activities.

Loadshedding is def a prob and it's not going away so I wasn't very impressed with the 2 candles in the draw and no lighter or matches or holders The resort is so modern so I'm sure there can be alittle more effort put into this like rechargeable lights,I know theres ones that work in Loadshedding but in my chalet the room one didn't and it's also not safe to have candles with kids .
