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.).

GermanyThe hosts Daniel and Sonja were so nice and organized a table for Dinner at a wonderful restaurant. The rooms have colonial charme and the breakfast was amazing. If we come to Oudtshoorn again we definitely know where to stay.

Sometimes you just need a bed to sleep before continuing with your travels. And then you get this which is an experience you will not easily forget. Sonja and Daniel are the perfect hosts. The house has so much history and meticulously kept. The breakfast to die for. South African Karoo experience with a Belguim touch.

Daniël and Olga greeted us heartily as a warm welcome to Oakdene Guest House. They introduced the facilities and also the possibilities of Oudtshoorn and surroundings. We loved the old fashioned rooms with all the necessities a modern traveller needs. The bathroom was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The extra lights for load shedding were explained. We really enjoyed Oakdene Guest House as a quiet place to stay in the middle of Oudthoorn. On walking distance to the restaurants and shops. On Daniël's advice we've visited Buffels Drift on our second night; a real treasure. We certainly have to come back to enjoy more of Oudtshoorn and the Karoo.

United KingdomHaving to leave! I already want to go back.
The location, in what felt like a very safe area in the town. with many restaurants all within walking distance and secure parking and a lovely rustic garden with a pool. The hosts just made it even more special. Sonja with her cool trousers & fabulous breakfasts (but Daniel helped too!) Daniel “the guide” helping not just us, but all guests to make the very most from Oudtshoorn area based on each group’s needs. We would’ve missed so much without his enthusiasm & guidance. Thank you

United StatesLovely hosts! The garden is an oasis in the semi arid climate of Oudtshoorn. Breakfast was delicious, homemade bread and jams served on the covered terrace. We enjoyed exchanging with the hosts in order to learn more about what it is that makes South Africa such an extraordinary place. Thanks again for your hospitality!

Beautiful old house, large bedroom, comfy bed and great hosts. So nice to have a guest fridge and the pool was a bonus. Sonia is the best at ironing. I could never hope to be as good! Breakfast was fab, home baked bread and apple cakes as well as jams. Plus very good coffee.

United KingdomAll was really lovely.
Excellent brief to our room, area & help with advice on what to see & where to eat with bookings made for dinner on our behalf. All good recommendations. Our hosts Daniel & Sonja exceeded our expectations as hosts as were so willing to enhance our holiday. We learned so much from them about the area. The breakfast & home made cooking of breads & jams, brownies etc were very much appreciated & all were really delicious. We appreciated the extra time that this takes rather than just buying. Having stayed in SA in guest houses over a period of 30 years , this one really stands out through its great location & superb hospitality. We left there after only 2nts but felt like friends with the hosts. We would definitely recommend & return!
