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 bed upstairs is not quite as comfortable as the bed downstairs and the roof leaks a bit.
The location is lovely in a very safe closed off estate. The house is very pretty with lovely views. There are two bedrooms with two bathrooms and a comfortable sitting room. Braaing outside is not allowed due to the thatch roof but the big fireplace inside was more than adequate to braai some steak. The bed downstairs is very comfortable and there are lots of interesting books to read. Dogs are very welcome and there are other dogs on the property.

South AfricaWe know it’s an old stone house but it was just a bit too drafty and cold at times.
The host was friendly and helpful. The views were amazing. The farm is great for walks. The wood is well priced (and we received extra). We had milk, eggs and ginger beer in our kitchen and the kitchen is well equipment with spices and whatnot available too. The house is decorated with absolutely lovely touches. Then it snowed and we were delighted!

South AfricaMidway between Johannesburg and Durban, Kliphuis is the perfect spot for a weekend away from the city or stopover on the way to KZN. Kliphuis is a small stone cottage beautifully set in highlands country estate in Van Reenen established over 100 years ago with view of the hills, mountains and streets lined with oak trees. It isn’t always easy to appreciate the beauty of the night sky from the city. Light and air pollution makes seeing the night sky challenging from most people’s backyards, here the air is clear making the milky way highly visible in the sky. The clearest sky I have ever seen even though it was numbingly cold. The view of the stars and mountains is an added bonus to a beautiful, cozy home, with everything you need for a little break, very clean and tastefully decorated, and is situated in a beautiful, peaceful and quiet estate. Sitting around the roaring fire on a comfy rocking chair is amazingly magical. A cute, quaint, magical stone cabin, with a back deck with one of those most breath taking views. Elsa is an excellent host and timeous at communication, and always available to help. We loved the warmth and comfort of a wood burning fireplace and the personal touches like the hand-written note and fresh eggs, giving our stay a laid back small town feel. Extremely pet friendly, however not fenced off.

South AfricaThe stairs are not really child friendly, if you slip or something, it could potentially be dangerous as my 18month old could easily fit between the gaps in the stairs. The electricity was off from the afternoon until about 8pm, we didn’t have any candles, but Elsa was very helpful to immediately assist us with bringing us candles when we asked.
This is such a nice cozy, rustic place to stay! The views are amazing. Staff were very friendly and welcoming! Everything was clean and neat. There was a welcome note and some fresh farm herbs and eggs as a welcome treat. It just makes the stay more personal and I appreciate that! We made use of the fireplace, it gets really cold at night, and that gave off a great cozy feeling.
