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 AfricaWe unfortunately didn't see any otters or fish in either of the dams.
The property was well equipped with all amenities and we had both solar and a generator. The view was beautiful with cows roaming the farm. A lovely place to stay.

South AfricaOne of the light bulbs in the kitchen needs to be replaced.
We loved the large comfortable house, it is very well stocked with everything we needed. All the gas appliances worked well, we even made lasagne in the gas oven! It is great that the house is off-grid with no loadshedding. The large fireplace is awesome. The staff are very friendly, Jan chopped the wood for us and they did a great job servicing the house every day. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. The view of the dam at sunrise is awesome, it is the loveliest sunrises I have ever seen! Thanks so much for a lovely, relaxing weekend.

South AfricaAccess road isn't really suitable for a regular car, especially when it's been raining and the road is muddy, an SUV/4x4/bakkie type vehicle would be better suited. Fridge wasn't working properly. The upstairs bedroom wooden floor is very loud mostly for the bedroom below it.
Great location, away from the world, the perfect place to just disconnect. Scenic views and very quite. Short drive away from Dullstroom town center. Loved the eco friendliness and environmental impact efforts being made.

South AfricaThe double beds could be Queen-Size and a better quality mattress. We like to walk and would have liked to access walking trails on neighboring farms without having to drive anywhere. The white noise from the traffic on the main road detracted from the experience of being off the grid in a beautiful setting.
Well equipped, clean and comfortable getaway cottage in a most stunning location. Staff were friendly and helpful and serviced the cottage daily. We stayed for 6 nights very comfortably with enough space (inside and outside) for 5 adults (3 adult daughters). Felt like an away home from home, and the added benefit of being off the grid and not subject to load shedding was an unexpected and valued benefit. Firewood available on request from the caretaker at a small cost. The minor negatives below didn't detract from what was a great holiday in beautiful surroundings.

South AfricaThe roads to the house were muddy due to the rain. You needed a SUV or bakkie toe drive on them. The reeds covered the entrance to the dam, so you could access the dam from the property, which would have been nice.

South AfricaI'm grateful that I made contact with the owner beforehand as otherwise I would have struggled with entry procedure. Also, we never got the gas-powered fridge to function as needed.
The property has loads of quirky personality. Coming from a bush break it was the perfect way to break the trip back to civilisation: quiet and comfortable, with enough hot water (thanks to gas) for 8 guests.

South AfricaThe shower wasn't level and didn't have a bar to balance with. I realized this after a bad fall which left me bruised. The hot water from the shower doesn't have consistency because it can get very hot then it gets very cold although it's hot water that's supposed to be running. The water pressure for the bath is a bit too low and slow. The rooms upstairs have wooden floors that are not supported by a flat surface so you can hear the creeks or see someone walking above you. The solar power supply ran out in the middle of the night and the back up generator had no gas to boost it and the caretaker wasn't around to help us with any other form of back up so it was a really dark night. I also suggest that bedroom and bathroom doors should have keys to lock because although we were family, we were victims to theft whilst sleeping. The drive to the house is long and the gravel at some point was bad. The owner should make people aware of the cemetery on the property because it made us a little uncomfortable.
It was a very secluded area that had a beautiful view and it was quiet and peaceful. Everything for self catering was catered for which was very convenient.
