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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

South AfricaRoads in and around area a bit challenging if you not used to it, which was not so much a problem for us but still worth the effort given such beautiful location and amenities.
Well equipped cottage in an exquisite location. The surroundings and views were truly exceptional. Plenty to do in and around the area with some good options for hikes in the nearby Highmoor and Kamberg nature reserves, or quietly enjoy the serenity of your surroundings with some trout fishing on the property (though regrettably the trout were not biting this time round). Cottage had everything you require for a comfortable self-catering stay and hosts were always available to help with any requests. Highly recommended and definitely a place to return to for another visit.

South AfricaThe property was perfect except that the roads getting there was not the best especially since we traveled through a storm , however leaving there we used an alternate route, be sure to enquire about this with your host, he was great with directions .
The hosts were excellent, everything was clean and the cottage was well equipped. Perfect when taking your pets with you , fully enclosed property so pets were safe.

South AfricaBraai was too small, I would've preferred a built in braai. Also on first day there was no cleaning of house, I requested housekeeping for 2nd day so it was all good. Also the road to the cottage was terrible, I'd suggest an SUV or vehicle with big tyre's.
Great setting, was nice and quite, far enough from next cottage.

South AfricaMy wife and I took our 4 dogs. We were blown away with this amazing place. We went in winter time, and enjoyed reading a book next to the fire. Our dogs enjoyed the walks everytime, and we have never experienced our dogs that relaxed. The hosts really try their best to give their guests the best experience ever!! The hosts are amazing people and you can even enjoy a nice chat with them. If you want a place to break away from the hustle of everyday life, and you want to relax, find yourself in nature... I strongly RECOMMEND this place! They are first on our list for a holiday in the winter! Thank you for an amazing time!!!

South AfricaJust a caution the roads are rough if you in a normal car. Also stock up properly. The nearest shopping area is 40mins away.
Kamberg has everything you need in the cottage. It's equipped with electric blankets for the cold nights, a beautiful fire place with wood provided. You can also buy wood if needed from the owner. The place is very secure and fenced around the cottage which makes it pet friendly. The kitchen is fully equipped with salt and pepper and oil. There are lights provided for load shedding. The shower is huge and the water pressure is absolutely amazing. The bathrooms are clean and beautiful. Outside has a seating area and a braai stand. Gas stoves for load shedding which is a plus. The lounge is very comfortable and there are fire lighters provided. Loved everything about this place!
