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.).

Saudi ArabiaThe road leading to the cottage, just be careful with very low cars. But isn’t a big issue
Absolutely everything! The overall interior was just so aesthetic, with the neutral colours. All the amenities provided were thought out for. The beautiful vineyard around you creates such a relaxing environment.

CanadaThis was our second Christmas at La Chataigne and we absolutely loved it! The property is beautiful. The hosts are friendly and accommodating. The cottages are stunning- very well appointed and well kept. We have stayed in Blanc and now Chestnut cottages and both were lovely. Chestnut is very private and sits along a river. You can't beat the setting! We have already booked to return next Christmas! Thank you to La Chataigne for some a memorable experience, yet again.

SpainThe cottage have everything to you feel at home. It is a very quiet place where you can totally disconnect and rest peacefully. You have groceries 10 - 15 minutes far away of La Chataigne where you can buy all food you need for your stay. During nights, it was wonderful to light some firewood to have dinner with a barbacue. If I return to Franschhoek, my family and I will definitely repeat the staying in this wonderful place.

United KingdomVery minor point that did not detract from our lovely stay. Some of the windows and exterior doors need a refurb as the wood is quite rotten in places - the main shower room window in particular.
Super comfortable living room and beds. Great living space. Spotlessly clean. Very well equipt kitchen, much more than we expected for a small cottage. Excellent shower. Nice to have a terrace at both the front and back and with outdoor furniture and bbq facilities. Nice pool area in the grounds and pétanque area. Warm and welcoming staff. Good location just outside of Franschhoek (so it’s nice and quiet) and good security - cottage has its own alarm system linked to the security company. Aircon and ceiling fans in the bedrooms and a working fireplace in the living space with wood provided, so all temperature options covered

United KingdomNothing to dislike
Blanc cottage as delightful. A true oasis of pace and tranquility to return to. Not that we left in very much! No need once you’re stocked up provisions, and La Chataigne’s wines are delivered to your door and left in the cooler for you if you preorder, so it works perfectly! I would recommend staying at La Chataigne if you’re interested in seeing both Franschhoek and Stellenbosch as both are doable from here.

United KingdomLighting outside without curtains meant for a disturbed sleep. Some people are ok with that, but that for me was a problem. Lock on the door to the bathroom needs attention as it was sometimes difficult to open and thought I was locked in at one point. The bed was very creaky on one side, meant that when one turned over at night or went to the bathroom the other was disturbed. If these things are corrected it would be an absolutely perfect stay. Our stay was too short!
Beautiful location and lovely accommodation within easy access to Franschoek and other vineyards. Lovely outlook. Well furnished and equipped. Incredible aroma of white flowers outside the property front and back. Issi explained everything to us perfectly and made us feel very welcome.

South AfricaThere is very little that could be improved. I though the 1 bed units were free standing but this was really no big deal.
The location and setting is beautiful with easy access to the Franschhoek area. The 1 bed cottages are absolutely stunningly appointed and laid out - love the simple styling. We landed needing to work and the cottage was a great cocoon to sit and work in. We loved every minute !
