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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

South AfricaThe location is beautiful and the cabin fits perfectly with its surroundings, with plenty of character and charm. Peta gave us a warm welcome and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. There was an abundance of firewood, including kindling (which is rare). Beds were comfortable and the cookware, crockery and glassware are top quality (also rare). The view from the balcony is nothing short of spectacular!

South AfricaIt would be good to have a small study table, even a fold up one for work. A bedside lamp would be useful in the second bedroom.
Shawn welcomed us when we arrived and shared interesting information about the area, biodiversity and people. The cabin is more like a chalet. It feels safe and is fairly secluded. Very well equipped

South AfricaIf I had to choose something, it would be the mirrored wall in the bathroom otherwise it was perfect.
The utter peace and tranquility The evidence that the owners cared about their visitor's needs - there was even a Moka pot and ground coffee. The little quirky touches and the abundance of Firewood. I loved the walks, clearly marked and maintained, and of course the fact that there was no load shedding We will be back-up

South AfricaDuring rain the tin roof was very noisy causing most of us to lie awake. For the daily rate for self catering we expected the unit to be serviced (dishes and beds daily). Too few blankets in the unit despite reports of a massive cold front coming.
Great location for exploring the Karkloof area. The Karkloof Saturday market and the Old Mushroom Farm were both about an 8 minute drive away, and even doing Nottingham road was easy from here. Lovely cabin, and nice indoor fireplace which was cleaned and prepped every day.

Perfect location.. [Hideout] The best place to disconnect with the reality and connect with nature in this beautifully designed cabin.! Sean is the best and well organised host!🙌 in vague reply’ , This was a lot more than our expertise and we enjoyed our time there. Great escape from the reality… So, peaceful’ you can even meditate and read your favourite book whilst overlooking the green mountains and vegetation.
