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 AfricaThe setting is close to the Augrabies falls and other attractions. The host makes you feel very welcome. The braai area and other amenities were excellent. The kitchen is fully equipped....whatever you need is there. We also loved the fact that the property teamed up with other local businesses, and one could buy produce directly from inside the unit. Most importantly.....WORKING AIRCONS!

NetherlandsThat we couldn't stay longer... 😢
Great host that makes you feel very welcome, and shares all her knowledge about the area. The cottage itself is large, clean and comfortable, with airco both in the living and in the bedroom (not when there's loadshedding) and with a lovely patio (with water sprayers for cooling). Parking right in front of the cottage. WiFi was good, also during loadshedding. The kitchen was well equipped and the shower was one of the best and most original we had ever seen.

GermanyThere was nothing to complain about
What a splendid place to stay; a surprisingly nice welcome - no wonder Manuela, the host, has worked for international airlines and knows what guests need after a long drive through the Karoo; newly build guesthouse; cosy and tastefully furnished room; very good beds; modern bathroom; nice garden with pool, rich and varied breakfast; very quit location in walking distance to all points of interest in Graaf Reinet (and GR is safe to venture out on feet!) Manuela and Yugal were very helpful in making bookings and arrangements. In case you happen to tay over the weekend don't miss out on Manuelas dinner. She is a very good chef as well. And don' forget to visit New Bethesda with the Bushmen Heritage Museum, The Ibis Restaurant and the Stonefolks

SwitzerlandWe are dog lovers, but the big dog (Rhodesian Ridgeback) is out of control (incessantly jumping on people, coming into the house and at one stage becoming aggressive when we tried to get him out). It would be OK if they come in, listen and lie down, but they were jumping, begging and intrusive. A little fence at the entrance door would create a boundary. We had to keep 2 of the 3 doors (entrances accessing the common property) closed all the time and then stumble over the dogs and push them off us when we stepped out. The owners are lovely though.
Well equipped and a central base to sightseeing in the region. Very friendly family. Cute oasis.

This facility-which is a house not a cottage had every conceivable item that you would want to find in your own home. Not just every item but of good quality and quantity. A few examples : 1) Three large ice trays, filled. Possible because they had a decent sized fridge/freezer not a bar fridge. 2) A basting brush for the braai......a great Lapa braai by the way. 3). Opportunity to purchase home industry items nicely displayed. That is smart. My wife loves buying something local to take back home. This saves you time and no need to find a place to shop.
