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 AfricaWe enjoyed the quaint little house (hartebeeshuisie). It was filled with peacefullnes, neatly equipped and out in the veld. If you want to listen to the silence of the night, watching the stars, smell karoo bush, enjoy "braaivleis" and an outdoor (warm) shower ... this is the place to stay over!

South AfricaOverall, my stay at Meijer's Rust was a delightful experience that exceeded my expectations. The combination of serene surroundings, comfortable accommodation, and impeccable service made it the perfect haven for a productive yet rejuvenating work trip. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and eager to return for another stay in the future.

Loved the remoteness of the Stone Cottage. One shouldn’t have any preconceived ideas before arriving at the cottage. We just loved the old doors and windows. Amazing hiking trails as well. Loved the open air bath and shower as there is nobody anywhere near. Just you, your partner and the beautiful nature surrounding you. Well worth the rather steep access road.

South AfricaVeranda and braai area is not private from other guests. A fenced in yard would be ideal and safer for pet's especially if neighbours are not fond of dogs. We will definitely be back regardless. Thank you for being pet friendly!
Amazing location and lovely finishes inside, the soundproofing is great between the Chalets. The mountains are breathtaking, felt safe and secure and wished we stayed longer. We had our 2 dogs with us and were able to explore the beautiful farm, big bonus. Very close to Meiringspoort Waterfall and the town De Rust. The Owner is friendly and there is wood available to purchase.

South AfricaBraai facilities were provided but we were not self catering and needed a recommendation on somewhere to have supper. The info manual did not have any recommendations for De Rust. A curtain or blind to cover the glass front door would have provided some privacy.
Position in the mountains. Beautiful verandah to relax on. Air con. Big bathroom. Big bed.

South AfricaNothing we didn't love. We had a great time!
Everything. Great views. Very private. Lots of entertainment nearby. Lots of animals to see. We did the hike which wasn't too long for our dogs and then we dipped in the dam afterwards. Extremely peaceful. You do need a high clearance vehicle to get there which the owners do specify. We drove in a Cherry Tigo which ain't a 4x4 but got up the road perfectly fine.

Barry is one of the best hosts you will ever meet, he was such an interesting man . The location offers something for all tastes ,if you like to get away ,have privacy and be in nature the old lodge is great, and has stunning views. Or if you want to indulge in some luxury one of the chalets would also be recommended. We loved our stay here and would definitely go back.
