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.).

South AfricaAll the pillows (8 of them) were large and firm. Suggest you take your own if that is not what you like or perhaps owners could have a few smaller and less form ones on some of the beds.
Beautiful spot in the Hogsback area. Neat little cabin that was very comfortable and had everything we needed including a braai out one the lawn.

South AfricaThe shower taps had an electric current running through them. I contacted Jenny to let her know and she said that she was aware of it, but didn't really say that they were planning to do anything about it. If the taps were sorted out, I would return to this accommodation.

South AfricaI was unfortunate enough to stay at the exact same unit (Yellow wood) I stayed at few months back which has an issue with balancing the water in the shower which we reported upon checkout. Unfortunately the issue is still there, they just wrote down instructions on how to get around it but the instructions don’t help at all. The place has a very small geyser which is set at 45degC, then they have those old metal taps that have zero flow control so what tends to happen is while you’re running the hot water (as per instruction) then you start to turn on the cold water to mix, the geyser runs out in about 3-5 mins tops while standing there trying to get the water right. They need to get the mixer taps and a bigger geyser. That’s a family unit, no ways that 4 people have to shower one at a time with waiting time in between to heat up again. Secondly, the geyser is heated with LPG which sadly ran out late at night on our last night, there was no point reporting it so we had to boil water to bath in the basin that night and the morning of check out. This is unavoidable sadly because gas cylinders don’t really have a marker to see how much gas is left.
Well equipped, clean and spacious. WiFi is good, there’s some rechargeable lights, gas stove and a fireplace which means during load shedding one is sheltered. The host sent some recommendations via WhatsApp daily which is thoughtful. Oh and the bed is super comfy The main gate is on manual, not great for a place that gets so cold and wet most of the time.

South AfricaThe quality of the wood was not so great. Wood turned to ash not coals so keeping the fire going was a little cumbersome
Loved the electric blankets , heater in the bathroom and the fireplace. It made the cold bearable. There were good load shedding alternatives and the advice about the hikes in the area were much appreciated.
