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 AfricaIt is about 30km out of town. We had family in town to visit... was quite a drive. If we had nobody to visit in town, we would have just stayed in the cottage. Which would then be ideal. Did not like the 3km of gravel road that we had to travel on to get to the cottage. Appreciate the the fresh grapes that the owner got for us.... Did not appreciate that he came into the cottage while we were away to put it in the fridge.
We were very happy with the beautiful surroundings. The cottage was very well stocked. My kids enjoyed the hundreds of books. Also the owners dog and cat were a bonus for the kids. I liked the garden and the water feature. Thank you Lefras!

GermanyAbsolutely cracking place! The scenery up there is definitely worth going the extra miles to the cottage. Easy to get to, everything you need is there and you will definitely have a great time. Pop down the road and stop at the farmstall for some food and chillout, too. Cheers!

South AfricaWe booked, at the cottage, afterwards they came back and said that if we dont want to share we must pay dubble. We did that, but i dont think it is fair. They must advertise that it is a shared kitchen. They also dont say that it is about 34km out of town. If we knew it we wouldn't book there
The owner and his wife were great. Very helpfull. If you want to have a quiet weekend is this the place. The view was great. Cant complain about it.

The hosts were really nice, helped us with everything and gave us advice for hiking/climbing/food etc. The common kitchen is fully equiped and with a lovely view, there is also a fireplace to use. Location is peaceful and quiet, nice garden. The host even lent us crashpads for bouldering. Would 100% recommend visiting.

South AfricaNot much, we shared the cottage with another couple, they were lovely though something to note if you’re seeking complete privacy
It felt like a home away from home, with every effort made to make us feel welcome. Biggest bonus was that we could take our large dog along; and there are a myriad of lovely walks from the doorstep

The kitchen is very well-equipped and the bookshelf is a delight for readers. It was lovely to have hot water bottles for the cold nights and also the provision of good lighting for loadshedding. The location is perfect for discovering the area. Highly recommended.

United KingdomDirections to the farm could have been more explicit to make us feel more confident in finding it. Some of the decoration is of a personal nature which some guests might not enjoy such as personal photographs. But it was like visiting a family members farm with character and charm.
We were met by a delightful gentleman who was our host. Very knowledgeable and hospitable. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He really took our needs into consideration and spoilt us with a local tour which was a real highlight of our trip. We met his lovely wife at the end of our trip and she was lovely too. Kitchen was well equipped with even a smoothie maker, coffee plunger, ice and cold water, rusks, spices all available. Lots of candles and lights for long load-shedding. Good wifi which worked during load-shedding. We would love to come again.
