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 driveway was very muddy from the rain which made it very difficult to enter the property with a normal car. Would suggest fixing the driveway or letting people know if it has rained beforehand so they can use an SUV. No signal in the cottage, got signal outside the cottage though with MTN.
The property had beautiful views, was very cosy and serene. The staff - Happiness and Clement were helpful.

South AfricaThe only drawback, is that there is essentially no cellphone reception. It was possible to access a weak signal from Cell C network much of the time, but Vodacom and Telkom not at all (I don't know about MTN). It would have been helpful to have known this beforehand. People intending to stay there might like to buy a Cell C data card and take a mobile router with them so that they have connectivity during their stay.
Clean, comfortable, well-organised. Pretty garden, good facilities. Lovely seeing and very close to Drakensberg Gardens with all it's facilities

South AfricaProperty should mention there is NO cell phone reception. Only states no wifi but you can’t even make a phone call.
Was surprised to find out the whole property was for us only so we had a choice of rooms. Also very very clean and well kept.

South AfricaNothing comes to mind.
Esigodini Cottage is a lovely property in the beautiful foothills of the Drakensberg, and when we visited the autumn colours made every road in the area a delightful and colourful spectacle. We loved the cottage, which has lots of character. The history of the owners are displayed on the walls and on the shelves, and it made it feel homely. The fireplace with the woodpile was very welcome in the cold. Thanks to Happiness and Clement, we were well cared for.

South AfricaThere was unfortunately no wifi which we knew about prior to booking. There was no signal either so we had to go out to find signal.
We absolutely loved the location of the property. It was tranquil and close to the nearby hotels. The surrounding greenery, flowers, trees, dam, rivers and waterfalls were a treat. The lady who cleaned the cottage was a lovely person and very good at her job. The finishes of the cottage were good, and it was beautifully decorated.

South AfricaI can't think of much that I didn't like! If I have to say something, it's that the lounge is a little dark, but it's great if it's a cold, rainy day and you want to sit by the fire. It's lovely and cosy.
The setting is magnificent. The view of Rhino Peak from the cottage is great. The gardens are beautifully manicured with lots of little bridges and benches dotted around. Such a beautiful setting!
