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 AfricaJacuzzi did not heat the water but that was not a problem. Just sitting on the patio and looking at the views was awesome.
It is a comfortable 3 bedroom house. All bedrooms are en-suite. Two bedroms also have outside showers which are lovely to use in warm weather. Well equiped kitchen. Large TV in lounge area and TV's in each bedroom. Lovely patio with pool. The views are excellent. House situated in a safe estate. Would certainly rent this house again for a weekend stay in the Berg.

South Africa1. The oil must have a netted cover for families visiting. It's too close not to have that. 1 5 plunge pool must be covered. Even adults can slip in on rainy weather. 2. Do provide extra towels like we have a shower flooded bath we had nothing extra to put on floor. There are no floor towels provided. 3. We would have appreciated if the maid just didn't walk away without even greeting us. She could have showed us where the things where. 4. Do provide black refuse big bin bags so we may bag up our own dirt.
Everything at 11 on tumbleweed speaks 5 star luxury and comfort. Every amenity and comfort is provided. Upmarket, value for money for the discerning traveller. Peace tranquility unparalleled views of the mountains . A well thought out vacation home par excellence. My dream home. Well done to the owners... The best location and holiday home

South AfricaSlow internet, battled to stream Netflix. Late check-in, we requested an early check in as we were checking out not too far away, our request was denied, got to the unit at 3pm, was dirty and cleaners were still busy cleaning, nothing worse when you arrive at your holiday destination. Unit requires a little tlc, TV was skew, toilet roll holder installed upside down, so falls off when used, coffee machine with only milk pods, a iron but no ironing board, small dustbin with no dustbin bags. One shower handle operated in the opposite direction, when placed on cold, hot water would come out. Soap holder and towel rail was damaged. Brown water when bath was used. Ants were found climbing the toilet and in the kitchen. A fireplace with no wood or firelighters. Shower door scrapes and shower head was leaking. Electric blankets only work on one half of the bed. Bedroom door doesn't close properly.
The location, views and wildlife were great. Aircon and TV in each room. Security was good, however I didn't see a safe in the unit. On-suite bathrooms in each room. Jacuzzi and outdoor shower was fun. Unit had all the amenities required.

South AfricaThe only suggestion I would make would be to add some tea and get a coffee plunger, I know that there is a Nescafé coffee machine provided but the only coffees with it all had milk so although I had brought my own coffee I couldn’t make it as there was no coffee plunger.
The house is gorgeous and has a wonderful view. Everything was so beautifully laid out, working properly and of good quality, it felt like a home. The inverter also helped during loadshedding. Best of all was Nombuso she was so helpful and friendly.

South AfricaBedroom 2 is missing a small couch/arm chairs at the foot of the bed just to sit on while getting ready in the morning/preparing to go to sleep at night since the bed is quiet high to sit on.
The property has beautiful finishes and furniture, awesome views and we loved the jacuzzi. Two of the 3 Bedrooms even have outside showers attached to the ensuite and we had a cleaner who came in every day to clean for us.

South AfricaThere was absolutely nothing except that one had to eventually leave.
The fact that the place is in a gated community, it had exceptional views. There was Zebras and buck roaming around the area and that was a great thing. The bonus is that every room had its on en-suites so no one shared bathing and or toilet facilities.

Everything was excellent, from the kitchen layout, utensils, cleanliness, every gadget and kitchen equipment was in working order and top of the range stuff --- super excellent... Now the patio, pool and jacuzzi area have no words to describe the feeling enjoying sundowners and spotting a few Zebras whilst relaxing in the Jacuzzi now seriously nothing can beat that ,, MaB the best housekeeper/caretaker ever ,, Lisha this one is a keeper good communication skills and very welcoming ,, thank you no words can describe our stay too good madam --- days went by so quickly
