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 AfricaJust a personal preference but would have appreciated more cupboard and storage space in addition to the hanging rails. We stayed for more than a week and had a fair amount of luggage including self catering items. I think the arrangements for the hot tub need to be more clear. An additional charge of R1000 was levied to use the hot tub for 2 nights (R500 per night). I didn't realise the hot tub was not included when I booked the accommodation. We booked for 8 nights and I was under the impression we could use the hot tub throughout our stay. We weren't prepared to pay an additional R 4000 to use the tub each night.
Loved Margie and the staff! The hot pot, cheese platter and meals were fantastic! Great location- 20 mins from Clarens and the Welgelegen Venue. Loved that it was pet friendly and we could bring our dog along. Great hikes and activities to do in the area.

South AfricaAn enjoyable reprieve from the bustles of life. Sarah (manager), Lily (the dog), the farm animals, the serene mountains, and fresh air made it a relaxing stay at the Gate House, offering the comforts of home (with the help of solar during loadshedding). Lulu (my Schnauzer) was very much at ease in the garden. And, the Fat Mulberry is nicely placed to access fantastic hiking trails that are abundant in the region.

South AfricaThe management are caring and exceedingly prompt with replies to questions. They are helpful, friendly and warm. One is provided with adverts with all the local current activities, markets and extras one might like to add to flesh out ones visit. The units are warm and toasty with effective fireplaces. The most generous of size & comfiest of beds are offered. The back ups in the event of an outage makes ones life seemingly uninterrupted. The staff service the units every single day and are willing to make your stay happy as possible. Our little 5 month old loved the hot tub swims and the walks in the champagne air. We even bought farm fresh, free range eggs.

LesothoIt would have been nice to have a few more pieces of silverware. There were just two sets which did not allow for anything other than eating, such as prep or serving.
We loved the location. The view was beautiful and continually changing throughout the day. The staff and Margie were amazing. They were a huge help in planning special treats such as massages, pasta making class, and other trips. They also assisted a great deal with the current load shedding situation. They sent the schedule and made sure we had ways to cook with a gas stove during load shedding. Also, the Wifi had a backup battery to allow for it to continue to be available throughout loadshedding. A perfect getaway. We will be back.
