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 AfricaAs safe as we felt, there is a door by the kitchenette that seems to lead to another room? (we heard a voice) and it would have been amazing to be able to latch that door so we knew it couldn't be opened while we were sleeping. There was also one cold tap that didn't work in the toilet bathroom and the hot water gets hot fast - those are the only things I'd suggest are improved.
The hosts sent a video explaining how to self-check in and allowed us to arrive a little earlier than expected. everything was ready for us, easy to find, and we felt welcomed immediately. The property is gorgeous, it's comfy, and it fits 4 of us for a girl's weekend perfectly. The ceilings were a bit low in the corners but sitting on the couch and looking over the rose bushes was a lovely way to spend the weekend. We loved the quiet of the farm, with easy access to Franschhoek, and Elzanne truly went out of her way to make us comfortable. The hot water was also perfect for all 4 of us - we expected some cold showers for the last person but it re-heats nice and quickly, which is great. As an all-girl group we also felt perfectly safe, hearing the family in the yard and knowing there were other people around in case of emergencies - and the little dog Elvis was a brilliant host as well ;) We didn't get to explore the farm much, but we will be back.

South AfricaWe arrived on a super hot day. Granted, we were much earlier than initially planned and didn't expect to book in at that time. We were just trying to establish the lay of the land in relation to activities planned . From reviews we established that the hostess was on another level of availability but we never saw her and response to messages were long. I am assuming that circumstances might have changed in the meantime for her. There was a problem with one of the aircons which we reported and once we were told there was a fan in the second bedroom we could use it was a bit less uncomfortable. I think the accomodation is more suited to someone just needing a place to sleep. There are beautiful lawns surrounding the property if a bench/table could be set up so that the outdoors can also be appreciated it would add value to the stay. It is just my opinion that the establishment is more suited to the younger generation.
The bed was exceptionally high and I basically had to use the scatter cushions to get onto the bed but I can't complain about the actual mattress, had a super comfy sleep. Having said all that I am only 1.46cms

South AfricaThe location is stunning, nestled between Paarl and Franschhoek on a hillside. The quiet, it is a working farm but there is no noise in the house. Bonus: the building you stay in was built in 1694 but it is beautifully and comfortably furnished.

South AfricaI didn't like leaving, Le Arc Manor was a home away from home.
The apartment was very spacious which my 3 kids and I enjoyed. The setting: inbetween mountains was breathtakingly beautiful. Well kept property and grounds. The host, Elzanne, was warm and considerate....thank you for the electric blankets and the generator at loadshedding was a blessing.

United KingdomYou should allow a ten minute drive to reach the centre of Franschoek. As the apartment is built into the roof of the farmhouse, tall people might have to stoop in the corridor connecting the rooms to avoid hitting their head on the sloping roof.
Our host, Elzanne, was very friendly, courteous and helpful. The 19th century Dutch farm was full of character and in excellent condition having been recently renovated. Being out of town, we were reassured by the security afforded by the substantial fencing and gates around the property.

South AfricaThe hospitality and accommodating attitude of the host was great. Breakfast was not a practical option for us due to the nature of our work being conducted in the area so no reflection on the host. Ease of access and communication regarding arrangements by the host was exceptional. The free WiFi was a bonus as we needed to use internet based programs for mapping our work and editing drone footage.
