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.).

NetherlandsThe pool area is a bit farther away from the main building, so it would be nice if it's actively serviced. Also if noone books dinner, most (or all?) staff leaves early which makes the entire property feel quite abondened.
We really enjoyed our stay on Knorhoek from the moment we entered. We were greeted by the nicest security (female!) guard and you then drive past beautifully maintained fields of flowers. The cottage was 'victorian' style and had everything we need for cooking and a braai (bbq). We had the luck of having nobody next to us whereby we had a ton of privacy and a small garden for ourselves. Even when we went to the swimming pool the first day we had it for ourselves, where you can fall asleep listening to the sound of the wind going through the trees. We had dinner one evening (need to prebook in the morning/afternoon) which was really tasteful and served by a super friendly waitress

NetherlandsWe have had a sneak preview how heaven looks like.................................
Even the high expectations were exceeded due to the perfectly friendly and hospitable staff, the grand private cottage on the wine farm, with combined authenticity and superior comfort, the extensive breakfast (buffet) on the sun terrace, the various nice and beautiful hikes on and around the property and to top it all the immediate vicinity of Restaurant Gåte at Quoin Rock; the sublime food with great wine pairing and the inimitable waiter(s) and lady-sommelier made us (almost) cry from sheer happiness......

Stellenbosch is a beautiful town but can be busy, so staying on a wine farm was perfect for us. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, even offered us a glass of their wine when we checked in. The grounds are beautiful and really give you that country feel. There are even short hikes that you can do. You can see the vineyards and have a wine tasting and lunch. The accommodation was exactly like the pictures, beds we big and comfortable, everything was clean and had all those small extra touches, like rusks (South Africa biscuits) and the option of having wine from the mini bar with beautiful wine glasses, the products in the room were L'Occitane. The bathroom had a big shower and wonderful big bath! The ceilings were low in the loft family room, but it didn't bother us, it added to decor and feel. We loved that you only had to check out between 11am and 11:30, which meant we could get us leisurely. 😉

South AfricaWe struggled with a lot of mosquitoes, which made it hard to sleep. I had to kill 10 during my stay as they were buzzing around our ears keeping us awake and biting my children. Also we were in a loft unit which had very steep and narrow stairs that felt a bit dangerous.
Breakfast was excellent. It’s a limited offering, but they do a lovely job and they care to cater to your specifications and dietary restrictions. Located in a beautiful setting in the heart of nature but nonetheless close enough to town. Kids had fun seeing zebra, boks and peacocks. Service was very friendly and attentive.
