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 AfricaWould like to have WiFi to keep in touch with family and friends.
Very big and spacious farmhouse. Loved everything about the house. Lots of heaters in the rooms, passages and even electric blankets. More than enough furniture and cupboards to pack stuff in. Comfortable and clean bathrooms with hot water for shower and bath. Beautiful pond and very scenic nature all around. Could walk into the woods, orchards, around the ponds, enjoy the birds and all the beautiful trees. Even in the dead of winter it's beautiful. Can't wait to go in summer and see even more greenery.

South AfricaWhile I understand the appeal of a no signal/wifi experience, I would have liked the option of a unit with wifi.

South AfricaMay I SUGGEST? Allan builds a Braai where the current braai stands? Dunno how long the mobile braai will last with high occupancies, and always nice to make a big bonfire for your braai coals later. I would suggest, the low wall gets extended on the other side of the brick entrance paving and include the Braai in this area.
AMAZING!! The hosts have an extraordinary product! The fact that there is no Internet...........FANTASTIC!! Truly get away from it all. Linen is clean! Shower is Clean! Kitchen is Clean!

South AfricaThere was not a thing to complain about. Everything was perfect.
Being on the farm amongst the cherry, apple and pear orchards was awesome. The highlight was staying in our cottage under the old oaks overlooking the Duck Pond against the backdrop of the Matroosberg. The attention to all the small home comforts throughout the cottage - in the bedroom, bathroom, lounge and kitchen made our stay so very comfortable. This little place truly is chicken soup for the soul and we would definitely be back and next time, will stay longer than 2x nights.

South AfricaWe could only have our morning showers after 9am - I assume the pipes were frozen and needed time to thaw!
We loved the farmhouse - which had more than enough space for everyone to relax. The farm was quiet and we weren't bothered by anyone during our stay. We loved the birdlife and using the kayak to explore under the trees.
