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 bedding was not as in the photo’s. There were clean bedsheets on the bed, but the duvet, pillow cases and blankets were dirty. We asked for extra blankets, which they brought immediately, but these were old and one even had a hole burnt into it. Take your own bedding along. Other than that, it was a good place for fishing and family time.
Lovely location. Houses next to the water, which makes it very convenient. Able to hike, good trail. They do park runs around the dam on Saturdays, so bring your running shoes along. Horse rides available. Clean water. Canoes available. Friendly and helpful reception. Houses are practical, have utensils, microwave, stove, kettle, etc. Bonus was the fireplace. It gets really cold at night. Thank you for a good weekend.

South AfricaThe beds were awful - They could use an update, up price by R100 per night but add new beds. Little bit of an update and you charge double.

South AfricaEverything was good.
Very comfortable cottage on the dam. Honestly, it's great value for money. We had our own indoors fireplace, built in braai overlooking the dam, as well as another braai with a table outside. The kitchen is small, but it has everything you need. They even put out some coffee and tea for you. For what we paid, really can't fault anything. Located very close to town centre.

South AfricaThe drawers in the kitchen need a bit of work, it was difficult to open and close. The fence gate on the outside needs some tlc.
The location of the property is excellent, with beautiful views, kids loved the horse riding and feeding the horses carrots. The unit had a great enclosed part for our daughter's service dog. They provided more than enough extra blankets which was very helpful when it got extra cold. We had a nice wood-fired pizza from the restaurant. The unit is basic but good value for money and has everything you need. It was our second visit, and we will definitely visit again.

South AfricaBecause the place is on the bank of a lake, it gets very cold at night. Fortunately there was a fireplace in the unit but the wood for sale was excessively priced.
Location was great... the place was bigger than we imagined. Unfortunately we got in very late and left very early the next day so we didn't really have a chance to explore or enjoy the whole facility.

South AfricaThe beds are very old, uncomfortable and in need of urgent replacement. I could feel the springs and my back was very sore after 3 nights on them. The wi-fi did not work. No tv or couch in the room. Kitchen not well stocked.
The hosts were very friendly and willing to help. Very scenic venue! Nice restaurant and delicious pizza. Great trout dams right there!
