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 AfricaNo issues, there are multitude of rooms to choose from, the ones adjacent to the manor house is nice but not as private, if you are looking for privacy I would recommend the cabins
The most beautiful views and a real farm life experience, walking around the farm is stunning and it is situated n close proximity 5min drive from the best restaurants and wine farms in the Hemel and aarde Valey

South AfricaThat the stay was too short. One month would be better than just a weekend away at such a scenic place
Beautiful getaway from the city to enjoy tranquil moments of relaxation on the walks and in the wood-fired hot-tub that is allocated to each of the units.

We liked the hot tub, as well as the outdoor bath and shower. The gas griller and the fireplace were an added bonus.

South AfricaWe had to remain indoors most of the day due to a fly problem and it got extremely hot. The managers told us they've had this problem after the recent rainfalls and the Immediate warm days afterwards. The cabin came with a bug spray that helped keeping the flies out, but since we couldn't open up the sliding doors, the temperature inside became unbearable. A ceiling fan brought some comfort for a short while. An Air conditioning unit would've been great for this circumstance. Hopefully next time there won't be a fly problem.
We liked everything about the place. We enjoyed the company of the horses, the beautiful backdrop of the mountains with clouds flowing over the peaks and down the mountain. The cabin is stunning and came with everything you needed. You only need to bring yourself and food. I love how open it feels when we could open up all the windows and sliding doors. If you want an open fire Braai, it needs to be arranged as the area has a high fire risk, as a former wildland fire fighter, I fully understand. A gas braai is available for the cabin. We will definitely visit again...

South AfricaI wouldnt say didnt like but I think if you are not familiar with the Kol Kol tub the venue should either assist by pre-stacking it so you can just light it up as this was a slight challenge. But once we got it going it was everything!!
There was nothing we didnt like it was an amazing stay. The surrounds was peaceful and calm, a true gem. The helpfulness of the staff members was out of this world always going over and above what you expected. A special shout out to Sue! You were amazing and readily available even on your off day.

South AfricaOn the pictures tney make it look like you jacuzzi is next to your room, but it's about 50meters away. The TV does not really work, so the days it's rainy you can't braai outside and can't watch TV so that's abit of a down.
Obviously the jacuzzi as it's something totally different. The kitchen was well kitted so we could actually prepare food. The area is very beautiful and it was all in all a beautiful stay.

South AfricaAll the restaurants around in this area (mostly situated on the beautiful wine farms) close latest at 5pm. If you want to have dinner, you have to deal with a 20 min drive to Hermanus. We had no room service.
We received a very warm welcome, also from all of the dogs. The beautiful landscape and all the horses around gives you a fantastic holiday feeling. Sitting on the little terrace in front of our room, looking at all these beautiful flowers around and listening to birds and horses was a wonderful relaxing time for us. When I had some bad stomach problems, I was helped immediately with some medicine and a hot water bottle.
