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 AfricaInternet connectivity/speed could have been better. The venue was affected by load-shedding (as is most lodges in South Africa).
Excellent overall stay and amenities – close enough to Stellenbosch – hiking, restaurants, beach and other leisurely options. Accommodating host - we could extend our late check-out (this was quite convenient).

United KingdomThe 2 standard rooms we booked were not fit for purpose.Very very small with no room for luggage even on the floor or any hanging space(reception tried to say having 3 hangers next to the bed meant there was hanging space)..The property needs to make clients aware how small these rooms are.The breakfast and reception area is tired and dated in its decor and furnishings.Either knock the 2 small standard rooms into one or advertise that standard rooms are effectively single ..
The outside and gardens of the property were well maintained and very pleasant.Two of the rooms we booked were standard and one was superior.Nicholas Philander made our stay.What a great guy and incredibly helpful.Whole group enjoyed our chats.Breakfast was hearty and tasty.great omelettes

South AfricaNo hot water, had to complain twice and only the next day the water was warm. No 2 prong plugs given however the hair dryer only takes a 2 prong plug. The couple we went with plugs didnt work, kept informing reception and they didnt do anything about it. Receptions attitude was to laugh at the situation. We wont be back, so many other places in Stellenbosch to stay at for the price you pay.
Very pretty setting.

South AfricaThe location of the rooms was not ideal in that there was no privacy. We could not open our bedroom or bathroom curtains because they faced a communal courtyard where people were sitting and staff were up and down there. This is a pity because one misses out on the beautiful scenery when you're in your room. It is also uncomfortable to sit on the chairs outside the room when other guests are also outside theirs because there is then no privacy at all.
The service and the scenery were absolutely amazing! We loved the picturesque beauty of the place, it truly was amazing!
