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.).

United KingdomStylish, comfortable, friendly and relaxed property with a great team. Breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed two lovely evening meals, one of which was a set meal on Valentine's evening. The food and wine were both excellent. Loved the quiet location just outside Plettenberg with countryside and mountain views. We used it as a base to visit Robberg Penisula, Plettenberg and Tsitsikamma NP. Great room overlooking the lovely gardens and pool. Really glad we chose this property as attention to detail and lots of personal touches made it a memorable and special stay.

GermanyBest place we have been during our SA trip. The lodge is very spectacular situated with a view on the mountains. The garden is a stunner. The restaurant is great. You get perfect food and they have a nice wine list, all for very reasonable prices. Would just go to this place when I am in the area again.

South AfricaEvery single detail was looked after from the moment we arrived. From the delicious breakfast to the beautiful turndown and warm water bottles in bed. The staff were very attentive, the design and finishes were high quality and the view of whiskey creek beyond beautiful. I would recommend this stay for anyone who enjoys luxury and high quality service.

Faultless service by James, Alice & the their team - nothing was too much for them. The rooms are spacious, comfortable & luxurious. CCL has been open for only a few months & no doubt once its first season has past, it's going to become super popular.

Words cannot describe enough what we felt during our 2 nights stay in this lodge, it was all just perfect, the views, the tranquility, the hospitality of everyone, from GM James who welcomed us and made sure every now and then that we're doing great, to Joshwill and Brandon who took care of us during the whole time. And on top of everything is the FOOD by the magnificent chef Alice. We felt like we're eating in a michelin star restaurant. We will remember this experience for the rest of our life! For sure...

South AfricaThe formal nature of the breakfasts and dinner ... the food was delicious, but when the lodge is more busy I would recommend a buffet cold breakfast and a few items to choose from for the hot breakfast. Sometimes people just want a smoothie, or something small and easy. Dinner - an ala carte type meal every dinner is a bit too much for us (although delicious!), we would have liked an Ottolenghi style buffet... inspired salads and fish, meats to choose from and bob's your uncle. This will definitely be easier for the kitchen when the lodge is busier. I know if we had asked Alice and James they would have obliged our indulgences.
Beautiful, beautiful views; well appointed rooms; lovely dining area; great coffee; friendly staff - they will do well once fully trained. Appreciate the child-free policy. James and Alice are a wonderful duo and their passion for their profession will ensure the lodge's success!
