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.).

Our stay at Giantscup was amazing. The host, Tash, was very nice and informative. The house was very comfortable and had a lovely upmarket feel. For once I could find nothing a miss with our stay and truly worth every penny. The only place to stay in the Drakensberg.

South AfricaGiantscup was perfect for a real destress! The surroundings were beautiful, the lodge was amazing and my only regret is that we didn't stay longer. The owner, Wolf Avni was so hospitable and made us feel so at home. He even sent through a hot loaf of freshly made bread and their trout patè. It was a wonderful touch. The hiking trail was amazing and highly recommended. The cabin we stayed in had a lovely fireplace that we used almost everyday because of the weather. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and can't wait to go back!

South AfricaWe were overwhelmed with the beautiful surroundings, the absolute stunning accommodation, the warm welcome. We loved the fireplace and the luxury of a bath and the exquisite natural soaps and creams. The cottage had everything we needed and we were surprised with a freshly baked bread with lovely trout pate. Everything was perfect - from the accurate directions to the excellent service. We could not have asked for anything better.

South AfricaNothing not to like.
You must be self-sufficient and provide your own groceries. However Underberg is only a short drive away. The location, (on Goshen Farm), was perfect for us. The cottage was close to the lakeside and surrounded by pine forest. Views of the Drakensberg mountains across the lake are beautiful, particularly at sunrise and sunset. The cottage was a two-bedroom unit with one large double bed in one side of the lounge and a second bedroom with two large double beds on the other side. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. Lounge, Dining area and Kitchen are open plan and a fireplace in the lounge warms the rooms at night. Firewood is provided daily and extra wood is stored in a large woodbox on the patio. The cottages are far enough apart to be completely private. The Giants Cup Nature Reserve is adjacent to Goshen and permits to access this area are available from Goshen. Don't miss the opportunity to walk in the Nature Reserve (and on portions of the Giants Cup hiking trail) if you enjoy the mountains. Fly fishing permits for trout are also required and are available onsite. One serious item to be taken into account is the section of road into the property. It is not sedan friendly and a vehicle with high clearance is a must. (Don't take this advice lightly). Would I return for another visit? Yes, In a heartbeat!

South AfricaAlthough to see magic, one needs to take arduous roads, this place is similar. Thus the common road to the venue requires some attention.
The peace and tranquility is a foremost characteristic of this place. The chalets were well designed and comfortable.
