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 Cottage has beautiful wooden floors and seating at the back and front porch. The beds were super comfortable, even the pillows- we usually take our own pillows, but did not need them at Kandelaars Cottage. The complimentary loaf of bread and bottle of wine is a lovely touch to make you feel welcome. Definitely an amazing place to stay for a weekend or longer.

South AfricaIt wasn’t really an issue but you are close to a road which had a bit traffic so it took away the full feel and sense of nature but none the less, it was still rather peaceful.
Our 1 night cottage stay was amazing. The unit is very spacious and well equipped. So appreciated the load shedding lights and really welcomed the freshly baked homemade bread and wine - the freshly picked lavender was a beautiful touch. The newly renovated back porch and braai area was really well thought out. The whole family all agreed that we should have stayed another night. Will plan another trip back soon.

South AfricaBeautifully refurbished old farm cottage and well equipped for a comfortable stay. We appreciated the loadshedding lamps, but loved the candles and personal touches! Home baked rusks, etc. to make it feel like home away from home. Thank you, and I wish we had planned to stay longer!

South AfricaWhat a lovely place! So spacious and with every convenience thought of. We were welcomed with fresh flowers beautifully arranged, a loaf of farm bread and a bottle of wine. Such incredible hospitality. The cottage also has lovely hot showers which we needed on the freezing winter evenings! We enjoyed a gorgeous sunset walk up the koppie above the cottage, as well as our trips to the nearby Cango Caves, Cango Wildlife Ranch, Wilgewandel farm and Karusa wines.

South AfricaIt needs some form of emergency lighting for loadshedding. A few more salad- type bowls in the kitchen would be helpful. Close proximity to the road is not ideal, but wasn't a problem. A wood burner in the lounge would be amazing as it was quite cold and with load shedding the AC didn't work.
Beautifully appointed. Lovely touches like fresh flowers, bread, wine and jam. Electric blankets were most welcome. Very friendly owners. A really pretty cottage, very welcoming.

South AfricaCan't think of anything. We knew in advance that there was no WiFi, which is as expected for accommodation on a farm. As alternative there was a very good and consistent data signal (MTN). The cottage itself and peace and quiet more than made up for it - in fact we could relax and have "time-out" more.
Peaceful and comfortable setting, close enough to the town and other attractions

South AfricaThere was no WiFi for our trip and I did not check it beforehand.
It gives you a real farmhouse cottage feeling out in the country. Loved the interior, especially the stoep area. We were greeted by a freshly baked bread and a bottle of wine, which was quite special. Fresh flowers was also a highlight.

South AfricaStrong sewage tank smell in main bedroom bathroom. Entire time of stay DSTV Decoder - No signal. Main bedroom light was not working. We stayed for 2 nights, from the second night we were without water (and this just before we went to an function the evening, was not able to shower!). Sunday morning still no water. I reported the water problem to Elmarie just after 8 Sunday morning. She indicated someone will come to have a look and that we can stay until the afternoon if we want to (which was kind of her, but not practical as we had to leave early to drive back home). Unfortunately the person who was suppose to come and fix the water issue did not pitch in time and we left without being able to shower. Not a very comfortable stay at all. Would have appreciated at least a refund for one of the nights considering all of the above.
Beautiful Cottage. Bottle of wine and bread was appreciated, thank you! Big aircon for the warm summer days! Wood supplied and fire packed on arrival.
