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.).

Dusk to Dawn is a wonderful place to stop over. I wish we could've stayed a little longer to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the farm. The unit was absolutely wonderful and incredibly spacious. The breakfast was such a treat, so much choice and delicious. We arrived late in the evening so we emailed ahead and ordered some of Gudrun's pre-prepared meals for dinner, which were warmed up and placed in our unit ready for our arrival - such care was taken to ensure that when we arrived after our long days drive we were well looked after.

GermanyWe had such a great stay at this amazing guest farm. It is clear that Gudrun & Johann, together with their team of friendly staff members, run Dusk to Dawn with a lot of love. We have nothing but the best to say about the warm welcome we received here and would definitely love to return one day. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the view over the farmland hills is stunning, and the breakfast was easily the most delicious one I had in South Africa! Another thing we enjoyed in particular was the variety of pre-cooked frozen meals available at the farm shop, which made for an excellent dinner option after long days of adventuring and exploring in the Piet Retief area. Vielen Dank für alles! :)

United KingdomA very pleasant and restful stay. Gudrun kindly upgraded us to a spacious, detached unit which was very nice, with long views over the farm. Very well equipped kitchen area with tea, etc provided. A good bathroom with lovely shower. It was really helpful to be able to choose home cooked dishes & wine from the Deli for dinner, which we re-heated in the unit. I also bought bread and jams to take away. The breakfast was superb. There are walks around the farm if you want. It was very peaceful and I could easily spend a couple of nights there.

United KingdomSomeone had stolen the signs coming up from the coast to Dawn to Dusk so we missed the turning and got totally lost. They need to give directions ( from both north and south) to get to the farm. Thankfully we met a taxi driver who guided us to the correct turning. The owner was very sympathetic and helped us sort out a difficult situation we encountered. The guest house looked lovely in daylight, we would have enjoyed an afternoon there. The provision of frozen food etc to prepare in our chalet is a brilliant idea. The breakfast, in the farmhouse was excellent.
