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 AfricaDuring load shedding there is no light whatsoever from the car to the entrance door. There should be a fridge and a larger bin. An external large bin would be helpful.
The location was perfect and the views were amazing. The facilities were clean and the bathrooms were big.

South AfricaI realize that it is not a self catering unit but some outdoor furniture would be nice. There were camp chairs available, but a table for outside is a option and what about a outside braai including 2 plates, knives and forks and a braai thong. Basic. It would add just that extra value. Only a suggestion.
Beautiful view. It was quiet and serene.

South AfricaThe road leading is very uncomfortable. We had a 1.2 Kia and really struggled on the second last turn before no. 20. We did not know this before the time.
Lovely views, nice location.

South AfricaOnly one toilet roll but we made it. Moisture really built up on the bathroom walls after a shower leaving moisture marks, tried to open window, but realized it didn’t open and seemed screwed shut for security reasons. No tv but not the end of the world. Only two caffeinated Nescafé sachets. Needed two more for second morning. Last bump on driveway road made my car scrape and wheel spin, the drain right after the hump is not ideal and not sedan friendly. Drive way up hill at night is a bit confusing. Sedan also battled in one middle section of driveway and wheel spun a bit. Made more sense in the day with the different color gravel. Great position up on hill, peaceful, and enjoyable. There was rioting near Mandela statue was directed by cop to take Nottingham road. Was a really long drive after returning from Pietermaritzburg. In morning was directed away again after driving there and took curries post which was much closer. Maybe mention alternative routes if township is striking.
Nice view, good spot, cozy room.

South Africathe Single beds in all the Rooms are not suitable for couples , these are just placed next to each other , and the water pump is continuous and very noisy rite through the night, the rooms do not have irons for clothes, the is also no Self catering facilities on site which makes it difficult for people whom would want to just sit in
The house is situated in a very beautiful serene area , with fantastic views of the land around , and this unit is at the highest point of the estate.
