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.).

Personal attention and direction from the friendly host. Warm welcome with an introduction to the absinthe and wine produced on the farm. Close proximity to the main hub of Franschoek. Literally 5 minutes drive to Main Rd Franschoek.

United KingdomOur stay at La Vedure Fruit Farm was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the warmth and hospitality of our hosts, who truly were the shining stars of our entire trip. The cottage itself was a cozy haven nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of nature. Surrounded by lush greenery and the tranquil sounds of the countryside, we found ourselves instantly transported to a place of peace and serenity. The privacy afforded by the secluded location only added to the charm of our stay, allowing us to fully unwind and reconnect with ourselves. But what truly set our experience apart was the exceptional care and attention provided by our hosts. From their thoughtful recommendations for local attractions to their genuine warmth and generosity, they went above and beyond to ensure that our every need was met. In short, La Vedure Fruit Farm is more than just a place to stay – it's a destination unto itself, where the beauty of nature meets the warmth of human connection. We cannot recommend it highly enough and cannot wait to return for another unforgettable getaway.

If you prefer to stay out of town then this provides peace and relaxation. I suggest the cottage on the lake, beautiful views. Enjoyed swimming and fishing. Very friendly helpful hosts. Solar powered so no load shedding.

SwedenReally cute cottages in a stunning, beautiful part of F'hoek. It is a very easy short drive into town. The cottage was well-appointed with all the necessities and the Nespresso machine was a welcome surprise after weeks of instant coffee. The bed was very comfy and - despite the heat during the day - there was an amazing breeze at night and lack of A/C was not an issue at all. We never lost power during loadshedding either. We loved the views of the plum trees, the mountains, and the night sky. The lake/pond was a delight and family & friends enjoyed kayaking and swimming. I wish we stayed another day or two - it was too short!

Wonderful little cottage on a working fruit farm. Peace and quiet with exceptional view on the mountains. Fully equipped for a self catering holiday. Centrally situated to explore all of Franschhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch. Thank you Jonathan for your hospitality and friendly conversations. Unit was serviced daily during weekdays.

South AfricaThe kitchen was extremely "hotch potch" there were no matching plates, shortage of bowls, no decent glasses. The cutlery was the same, very disappointing. The bathroom shower rose was desperate, spraying everywhere with very little water pressure. I do believe for the price we paid it was a bit rundown and shabby. Could do with modernisation.
I loved the location on a Fruit Farm with beautiful mountain views, as well as close proximity to all the wine farms and restaurants and shops in Franschoek.
