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 AfricaWe were moved from our original booking due to an inverter failure. Unfortunately in the alternative cottage the hot water did not work properly which made showering challenging.
Peace, tranquility and amazing stargazing! The host was very welcoming and friendly. We appreciated the salami and pack of lamb bacon!

South AfricaIt was exceptionally hot and there was only a small fan that was broken when we got there. The linen/towels could have been in slightly better shape. The "private swimming pool" isn't really a pool, its more like a mini watering hole to dip your feet in and was very slimy when we got there (but they immediately sent someone to help clean it out a bit).
It was exactly what I wanted in terms of location - being able to relax on the stoep and see nothing but the expanse of the Karoo around us. The braai area is nicely protected from the wind, and the house is comfortable. The owners are really welcoming and responsive to any questions or issues we had.

South AfricaThe exterior was really messy. Braai area just looked unkept and there were things lying around, looked like a bit of dumping area. It's such a stunning setting, the facilities just need to match. No wood, we had to ask. No ice. - Items I expect at this price point. Loadshedding an obvious issue for all, but by now we need to be geared up with at least a light or two or just ice to have a gold drink after a long day's drive.
The scenery is stunning, and the cottage has a view to die for. The cottage layout is nice and spacious. Kitchen well kitted out. The inside of the cottage was spotless. The owner welcomed us warmly and was lovely to chat to him.

South AfricaThe bed could have been a little more comfortable, but considering the rates charged, the stay was great overall.
Farm stay at its best. Quiet area, away from the freeway, in the Karoo. Beautiful sunset, even more beautiful sun-rise. I went for an early morning cycle around the farm and was joined by one of the resident dogs. Was a great fresh experience. The owner even sacrificed his only bottle of wine for me.

South AfricaThe Karoo gets cold in winter, a fireplace would have been welcomed
Beautiful off the beaten track location, yet not too far from amenities - just 15 minutes to Graaff-Reinet. The cottage that I stayed in was in the game park, so lovely views. Impressed with the off-grid eco-friendly facilities- both electricity and water. And the WiFi was superb!!

South AfricaI thought an initial free supply of wood for a braai could be included . The wood sold was admittedly sold at a good price.
I did like the quiet ,peaceful surroundings. Freedom to go for walks and move around freely is a privilage. Hosts are readily available and helpful.
