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.).

United KingdomLoad shedding, but this is out of their hands.
Breakfast was always good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is located in a lovely spot and has recently extended the dining area since our last visit and this is a great improvement. Work is currently going on to expand the rooms but although there are workman on site it didn’t impact on our week stay. We would recommend you to stay.

South AfricaThere were some communication issues at the beginning of the trip. We were taken to a room that we had not booked (One without a bath after we specifically asked for a bath). The staff informed us that our room was available but the DSTV was not working. As this was not something we were concerned about, we went to the correctly booked room. What the staff did not mention is there was a branch that needed to be cut. With the wind on the first night, my wife couldn't sleep as the branch was scraping loudly on the roof. I asked the next morning the owner to please take care of this and when we arrived in the evening it was taken care of.
The Breakfast Vouchers for Cafe du Vin was a sufficient solution for the breakfast not running at Lavender Farm. The room was made up each day. The response to any complaints was dealt with in a timely fashion. The farm was beautiful and lovely to walk through.

The lavender field, the pool and the rooms were super unique and unbelievably beautiful. The farm is really close to Franschhoek center and the wine tram, so the location is perfect, if you plan a visit there.

South AfricaThey are busy with renovations, so a liitle bit of noise. Also, because of the renovations, you had to drive into town for breakfast.
I had an overall great stay. It was my 3rd time back and it will for sure not be my last time. Clean room, staff friendly and helpful, beautiful views and a beautiful room.

South AfricaNothing really.
We were very impressed and we had a wonderful stay. It was rather cold outside but the room was comfortably heated and as they were renovating they gave us breakfast vouchers at a small cost restaurant around the corner.

South AfricaIt would have been helpful to know about the renovations before we arrived (the breakfast room is under renovations as are a few rooms) - this wasn't a train smash as they provided a voucher to a cute cafe in town for breakfast. Little touches would take this place from good to GREAT, IE: its a lavender farm, so why not put a few lavender sprigs on the pillow for turn down? Or in the Bathroom? In addition - they will need to sort out back up power. We weren't affected thankfully, but I know it wouldn't have been great if the only power source we had during load shedding was a magneto battery light.
Incredibly beautiful property with well designed and laid out rooms. Incredible views across both the little dam and the mountains. Very comfortable beds.

South AfricaBreakfast service was a bit unco-ordinated and slow. We were ignored for a while and had to catch somebody's attention to get coffee and then the hot breakfast my husband ordered - an omelette - took ages to arrive.
Very comfortable accommodation, a gracious large bathroom with shower and bath tub, and the beautiful and peaceful location so close to centre of Franschhoek town. I left my cell phone charger behind and I was called back a day later to let me know it had been found by housekeeping - professional and helpful!
