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 AfricaThat we had to eventually leave :-(...but we already planning our next return.
The Deck The Pool The Kitchen Appliances THE HOSTS The Environment The cottage on its own was just a little cute gem. Fully equipped with EVERYTHING you can think of. The hosts were an absolute dream. We decided last minuet that we will bring our baby (2years) along, and Adri went over and above to make sure that even the baby was comfortable.

South AfricaThere were small lizards that kept coming into the house but I'm not blaming the hosts or anyone because we were after all inside the safari. It was beyond anyone's control but maybe pitting nets on the windows and doors can help.
The place was clean, specious and looked exactly like you see it in the pictures. Nice and quiet place if you want to get away from the busy city life. It's right inside of the safari. Driving to the accommodation, we were welcome by the lovely nature and some zebras and springboks. The host were very nice and welcoming. Everything was properly explained to us on arrival. We knew exactly where to find everything and how to operate everything in the cottage. It felt like home. The owners really thought about everything a person could need in the cottage. The kitchen had everything we needed. The terrace had a gas braai stand and a normal braai stand if you prefer to use charcoal or loggs. The loggs were available and ready for us to use. The pool was clean and my daughter had a great time swimming and it's pretty safe because it's not that deep. My overall experience was amazing.

South AfricaOnly a weekend..... but we will be back.
The place is very neat and clean..... truly a "comfortable cottage". Netflix and a host of movie channels on an awesome big screen.. full access to wifi and solar backup for loadshedding. A true little gem. The hosts are amazing. All the appliances and such needed for our stay....... very highly recommended.

South AfricaThe cottage is quite small, so probably better suited to a family with younger children.
Under 2 hrs from Johannesburg and it feels like a million miles - peaceful and quiet. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well-equipped - the kitchen in particular. It is all flat indoors with a ramp for access and roll-in shower. Virtually completely wheelchair friendly. The owners, Michael and Adri, were amazingly friendly and very helpful. Definitely a big thumbs up to them!
