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 AfricaNeed some work on service in the restaurant area plus the drinks in the bar are limited and of short supply.
Loved the fact that we stayed on a farm while in Clarens and the house we stayed in was enormous and a real old tradition farm house but with a slight modern feel

South Africa- We liked everything about the farm - Our only suggestion (given load shedding in SA) is that solar or generator be considered. That said, they do have gas
- Very well located 6km outside Clarens on Fouriesberg Road - Excellent accommodation and value for money - thank you Hannetjie - Good restaurant located on the farm - great service from Charmaine and Grace. Delicious food.

South AfricaThere is a beautiful country restaurant on the premises that serves great food, we had breakfast there. The menu is great, offering curry, eisbein, seafood etc. There is a cave you can walk to on an adventure hike, so worthwhile. The alpacas are fun too !

South AfricaEven with the wall heater and fire going the room is cold, so pack warm clothes. The lighting in the room is quite dim.
This was my 2nd stay at Linwood, the previous time was in summer. It's gorgeous in winter too. The room is gorgeous and the bath is perfect for long hot baths. Hannetjie is a gem, such an amazing host and my dog and I felt totally at home there.

South AfricaThe one ply toilet paper doesn't quite fit with the luxury feel of the place. There is no lighting over the bath and kitchen area. As others have noted a tv would be great. The units are close together so noise from other visitors wasn't pleasant.
The place is gorgeous and the room very tastefully decorated. The views of the mountains are breathing! The alpacas are a delight, as are the turkeys, ducks, chicken and bunnies. It is very dog friendly, there were no rules imposed and the residents dogs are very well socialized. Just note there is no fence around the units. We were greeted by Hannetjie, she is absolute gem and made us feel so welcome.

South AfricaThe restaurant on the property isn't open every day. Also some sort of back-up power during loadshedding would be great.
Hannetjie is an excellent hostess, will go out of her way to ensure you're happy and comfortable. Far enough from town for peace and tranquility but close enough when you need to get into town. Farm setting so enjoyed all the animals around too.
