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.).

We stayed at L’Auberge to be close to visit friends in the area.. it’s lovely and quiet. A rustic country feel with birds and trees .. the cottage was very comfortable and clean and nicely decorated. The bed had good linen and there was a lovely wooden deck outside . We were there only one night but could’ve stayed longer!

South AfricaWe loved everything.
Amazing stay! So secluded and yet it has modern comforts. It is almost like glamping! We staid in one of the smaller rooms. Tania our host was so attentive to our needs. We took some extra battery operated lights for loadshedding and some bug spray for those lovely sunset evenings outside. The room had a few great essentials like basic utensils, a lovely fan, towels, basic toiletries, coffee making facilities and a mini fridge. The outside communal kitchen has a gas stove which was perfect for loadshedding coffee time. The shower was lovely and definitely had enough light. There are little windows above the normal windows without curtains, but we wore eye masks which worked great! We will definitely be back!

South AfricaNothing to complain about.
My wife and I came here for a quiet retreat before we crossed over into the new year. Our host was very accommodating - They called to follow up on our arrival time and were prompt to open the gate upon our arrival. The venue is a few minutes (25 odd minutes from Summerstrand / Airport ). Well located should you still want to go meet up with friends in the area or do some shopping. Word to the wise - - Try keep driving to a minimum as it can get misty at night. Everything was perfect, the house was clean, well sized. On the property there is also a large Lapa with a kitchen and a Boma (Fire pit). Perfect get-away to reconnect as a couple as it allows for uninterrupted conversations right in the middle of nature. The lily pond was gorgeous - sure do wish it was a pool instead :-). Breathtaking beauty. An absolute gem of note ! We surely will be visiting again. 10/10.

South AfricaThe shower is pretty dark - luckily we brought a rechargeable clip on light, so we used that for more light. The windows at the top have no blinds or curtains, so we were unfortunately woken by the sun much earlier than we wanted. It would also be nice if there were cleaning things to do the dishes.
The location was awesome and it was so peaceful to have breakfast out on the deck, tucked in the trees and listening to the birds.

South AfricaWe were a little disappointed that when we arrived on Friday at 2pm the room was only then being cleaned. We then had to leave all our things in a room we knew was still being cleaned.
We loved the scenery and the absolute removal from town while knowing we were still close. Also loved the special touch to our wedding night and morning of wedding! So special and thoughtful.
