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 AfricaWiFi was a bit weak at our chalet. Kitchen did not have a huge amount of counter space.
Beautifully appointed chalets, cozy, and comfy. Lovely peaceful setting. Staff checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. Appreciated the underfloor heating!

South AfricaOnly downside is the dirt road to the property which isn’t great and wouldn’t recommend in a low non 4 x 4 car (especially if it rains). But this definitely didn’t ruin our stay in anyway!
Beautiful views and very specious and well equipped chalets!

South AfricaIt was bit cold , so we would’ve appreciated having blankets in the second room. We had to use the heater from the main room so the second bedroom would’ve be cold as there were no blankets.
I loved the view from the unit we booked . The property has been well maintained . We had a comfortable stay.

South AfricaThe only thing that I would improve (and this is entirely based on personal preference) is the bed size and support. It was a bit small and soft for us but really nothing serious. It would have been amazing if there was a bath in the bathroom to have a nice warm bath on a cold evening
The location was absolutely beautiful. We really loved the little dams and being able to go on the canoes. The chalet was really nice and clean and equipped with everything you would need. Really a stunning place and will definitely be back soon. Super relaxing and tranquil

South AfricaSet in scenic location, the accomodation is clean and well equipped including a few extras, an outside braai which is cleaned every morning and friendly staff who made our stay special. From the time we arrived we felt relaxed and we really appreciated the personal touches by Gugu and co. Looking forward to staying here again!

South AfricaThe roads aren't great getting through to the property but this is also something along the entire Meander and was to be expected.
It was beautiful and many thoughtful touches throughout the experience. A small example is there was a fly in the room which we killed and the next day we came back to find an insect killer in the room for us. There are many bigger examples such as the host's assistance in our engagement etc.

South AfricaThe only thing I didn't like was the fact that there was no door to the ensuite. The pool didn't look very clean but as it was a chilly weekend we didn't use it anyway. There is about a 2.5km dirt road to get in and out which we got a puncture on but I guess people must just be very careful when driving on it.
Whispering Waters is absolutely beautiful with rolling hills, little lakes and the leaves changing colour in Autumn. The Adventure golf was a lot of fun and it was convenient to get firewood and ice from the property. They even come and light the fire for you on request! And we got some cool board games from reception. The Forest Walk hike was also very enjoyable and easy enough for my 5 yr old.

AustraliaAngelique and her team went above and beyond during our stay. We had a medical emergency that resulted in the need for an ambulance the first night (unrelated to the accommodation) and Angelique assisted my family greatly and ensured everyone was comfortable well into the night. The facilities are absolutely beautiful and you couldn't pick a more peaceful spot.

South AfricaI didn't like having to deal with load shedding. I missed my comfort or watching movies to the end when there is a generator on site, but they don't run it to save costs.. At other establishments, I was given a choice of an extra cost to run a generator, and I opted to pay for it..
The units are lovely, clean, and comfortable. I would definitely recommend them..
