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 mattress in the main bedroom was not very comfortable but it was very spacious, which I liked. The aircon is a bit outdated, but it kept the room cool on these hot days.
The cottage was spacious and clean and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and helpful.

MauritiusAfter a very positive stay in a calm and tranquil environment, we suffered somewhat of a shock to the senses on our last morning, when a kind of crop spraying commenced by plane (can't say what type). Probably this comment is relevant to other local properties and not unique to just this place, but we felt relieved that we were packing to leave just then. Unfortunately.
Kids' play area was fun. Breathtaking views. Exploring the farm. Indoor fire on a cold night.

South AfricaStaying at Eikelaan Farm is a bit like dropping out of reality: the comfortable, pretty cottage, the view of the mountains, the rolling green fields, the singing birds, the stoep, the quiet, the wide open sky. We loved every minute of it.

United KingdomNothing.
Beautiful location for rest and relaxation. Peaceful surroundings and comfortable, spacious cottages. The perfect place to unwind with scenic walks around the farm. Old-school kitchen ideal for self-catering, including braai facilities and home cooking. Stunning mountain views with a soundtrack provided by the geese, birds, and sheep. A stone's throw from the working farm facilities but far enough for privacy. Gorgeous old farmhouse and deli with the option to purchase organic fruit and vegetables. Owner, manager, and staff are exceptional. Generator plus DSTV and WiFi. Hot water throughout the day. Swimming pool. We hired 2 one bedroom cottages for a family visit. A wonderful farm experience - will be back!

South AfricaHmmm.. I can't think of anything major. The only thing I could recommend is to maybe add stepping stones or a stoned pathway from the chalets to the pool area as when the weather is rainy our shoes got all covered in mud. But this is to be expected on a farm.
I loved the braai area near the pool. The chalet itself was very cosy and the beds were SUPER comfy. Not a super fancy place but it was exactly what we paid for.

Lovely place and very kid friendly too. We had a very pleasant stay at Eikelaan Farm Cottages. The accomodation was clean and very well equipped for self catering and the kids absolutley loved the play area. The staff are very friendly and Joy is such a great host...just prior to our arrival, we received an email to say that we were upgraded to the 2 bedroom cottage at no additional cost. They also have some yummy goods and fresh produce at the deli on site. Will highly recommed this place to anyone seeking a home away from home. Thank you for your hospitality Joy.

South AfricaI think it is worth noting that the one-bedroom cottages are right next to each other- so if you are only renting one of them, you are a very close to your neighbor. This was not an issue for us, because we rented both, and it worked out lovely for two families. I'd suggest that they take more pictures to show the cottages inside and outside to get a better idea of the setup and proximity to the other house.
The cottages are roomy, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the farm life feel is great for the kids and dogs. The fireplace kept us warm on a wet Saturday night. Beds are big and comfortable. It's far enough from town to feel like you are on the farm, and close enough to still enjoy the wine farms and the beauty of Tulbagh :)

South AfricaGreat cottage. Lovely spacious bedroom, plush bed. Views. Quiet. Welcoming but private. Small farm stall on the property a neat plus. 5min drive to town, restaurants and good wine farms. Loved it. (Just a couple of chunky farm-made rusks, for those a little unprepared, would've been the gold star :))

South AfricaWe always stay at the house 2 bedroom , this time we stayed in 1 bedroom cottage as the house was booked already. The kitchen was very poorly equipped if I am completely honest , the toilet was leaking on arrival this should have been checked but was fixed which we appreciated. The baby cot needs to be replaced it’s broken ( net on the sides ) there is metal that is exposed on the outside it’s had it’s days.
Dec was our 3rd time for the year 2022 staying at Eikelaan Farm and we always love it
