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.).

The location of the property was perfect for us as we were there to enjoy the piece and quiet. It’s about 10 minutes walk to the restaurant and shopping area 10 minutes walk is really if you are strolling to town.

United KingdomWe had the most fantastic stay at La Providence in December 2023. The property is gorgeous, spotless and has the most fantastic, relaxed feel to it - but what makes La Providence is the welcoming touch that Gary and Elaine add to make sure their guests have a truly memorable stay. Breakfast was lovely and the pool area could not have been more relaxing...our stay truly exceeded our expectations and we hope to come back soon!!

GermanyNothing at all!
The room was beautiful, the amenities were great (pool with the honesty bar concept is really cool and gives a chill vibe), the breakfast was wonderful and the hosts Ellen and Gary were just fantastic and made everyone feel extremely welcome and were willing to help with everything. On top of this, the location is perfectly close to downtown Frenchhoek yet still has the remote and scenic vibe of staying on a winery.

Amazing place to stay - a definite highlight of the trip. Beautiful location with incredible views, gardens, pool area and vines. The property itself is beautiful too! The staff were all so friendly and had the perfect balance of being attentive but not invasive. The room was good sized and very comfortable and lots of attention to detail throughout the property. The breakfast was amazing! We were very sad to leave and hope very much to come back in the future.

La Providence was is an amazing property on a small, lovely vineyard just outside of Franschhoek. Our room was very impressive and the service and staff even better. We really enjoyed our stay, including the incredible culinary options nearby.

everything here is simply amazing: from the rooms, to the surrounding, the wine yard all around, the views to the mountains, the atmosphere and of course Ellen and her husband did all the best to make those days unique for us. They run the business in an excellent way, the beds are sooo comfy and all new and clean aaah also the breakfast in the morning is delicious with fresh cakes. My boyfriend and I loved La Providence and felt home immediately to the point we decided to spend the last day in South Africa here because this is the best place to chill and relax. We will definitely come back!!

South AfricaNothing I can think of.
Location was in a quiet, secluded area but close to all amenities (food, wine, outdoor activities, etc.). Can walk safely, or drive. Property is immaculate, well maintained and very comfortable. Host and staff were professional, friendly and helpful with advice on local options. Highly recommended and definitely a place that we plan to visit again.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like. The owners are keenly aware how to provide 10/10 outstanding hospitality.
From the warm, personal welcome by Melvin and Ellen to the small touches at in the room, breakfast and the complimentary nibbles and drinks in the room, our stay at La Providence was outstanding. The grounds and attention to detail to the surroundings was superb. The breakfast by the pool/pool house was varied, healthy and beautifully presented, all homemade by Ellen and her friendly and helpful staff. Gary, Ellen’s partner, was as helpful and welcoming, informing us nothing was too much of a bother to ensure our stay was a happy one. The location is just off the main street of Huguenot Road where there are cafés, shops and restaurants; a 12 mins walk which is not far yet far enough to feel like you are in a secluded and exclusive guest house. Importantly, all staff, from Ellen, Gary and Melvin to their gardeners and housekeeping staff were smiley and friendly. Truly a wonderful stay which exceeded our expectations. Thank you, La Providence!

GermanyOur stay couldn't have been any better! (Just a bit longer.)
Staying at La Providence was the perfect ending to our South Africa trip. Ellen and Gary welcomed us with open arms. La Providence is located a bit outside of Franschhoek, yet it's just a quick 5-10min walk to the city center. The room was clean, spacious and had a large balcony facing a lovely and quiet inner courtyard. Ellen and Gary, together with the amazing team, offered a breakfast that left nothing to be desired. La Providence is the perfect place to enjoy a few relaxing days in the Cape Winelands. We highly recommend La Providence and would definitely stay with Ellen and Gary again.
