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.).

United KingdomThe location is good for onward travellers on The Garden Route. Secure off road location with safe parking near to accommodation. Views from the detached private cottage were amazing. Great value for money.

DenmarkNot really a negative but just make sure that if you do stay here, to bring food with you. There is nothing available on location and the nearest shop is a short distance away.
Good location to spend the night whilst travelling. Great views, wonderful and safe property. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

GermanyThe bathrooms are spartan. Some improvement suggestion would be to offer complimentary toiletries. Also in our group booking one of the cottages was a bit unlucky and got some mildewy towels
Very helpful staff that helped us organize a meal (braii+ sides) onsite and breakfast at the farm for a group of 10. Especially with loadshedding occuring as we arrived this was extremely helpful. The cottages give a rustic vibe and are conveniently located on the N2 (but far enough that its traffic is not disturbing). Remember you are in the countryside, keep your lights off and doors closed if you dont want bugs inside

South AfricaThe only thing we could comment is that the mountain water into the cottage, which is one of the top ones, was a bit discoloured. Apparently this is from minerals in the ground.
The locaton was stunning and the accommodation very comfortable. The cottage looked over the nearby dams and canola fields. Breakfast was most enjoyable.

South AfricaThe two bedroom cottage we stayed in was unbelievable. Huge! There was absolutely everything one needed in terms of kitchen utensils, crockery, ice in the freezer and lots more. The beds had electric blankets fitted. The braai area was stunning and overlooking a beautiful dam. There was a beautiful swimming pool. One could see that the very fine details are attended to in these cottages. Spotless. We had a really lovely time and Lorna our hostess was incredible. Friendly and extremely accommodating. We will definitely go back for a longer stay in future.
