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.).

NetherlandsI'd like to express a huge appreciation to the hosts who helped us a lot when it happened that our car broke down. There are many hosts who can handle positive travel scenarios and just a few who can handle negative scenarios. Those hosts are the latter which is great. And for the rest it was a normal accommodation on the farm — good room and breakfast.

South AfricaThe entry road but with a little care it was acceptable.
The breakfast was good and while the entry road is a little rough the views were perfect.

South AfricaThere is nothing we did not like. If you want a truly heartwarming Farm experience for your family this is the best place to visit!
We really love the Drakensberg and always wanted an authentic farm experience and Inchgarth delivered on all promises! We loved the amazing setting of a true working farm and feeling part of it for a little while! Nita is truly hospitable as is the family and not forgetting the friendly pack of little four legged hosts that escorted us around the farm! Watching the polo horse exercise and feed was an added treat! The breakfast was more than we hoped for and prepared beautifully delicious! The facility are clean and really exceptional comfort with the best views over the farm dam onto the mountains!

BelgiumWe were not aware that the road of 1,7km on the farm itself was so bad, especially if you don't have a 4x4. Apparently it is in the announcement but we didn't see it. But our host helped us out with food, so we didn't had to drive up and down.
The view from our own porch is fantastic. You could sit here the whole day to watch the colours changing. Big clean room on a working farm. Friendly host.

South AfricaThe road to the chalet is not to be attempted by a sedan vehicle. Our host was very concerned as they had major flooding the night before we arrived. Luckily we had 4x4 vehicle.
What a beautiful setting overlooking fields and mountains from the front porch. Big room with comfortable bed. Our host was super friendly and the light breakfast delicious. We really loved our 1 night stay.

My mother and I had the most wonderful and beautiful mornings and afternoons and found ourselves very grateful for the lack of electricity as it made our stay more wholesome and we could enjoy the surroundings of our stay.

MexicoUnfortunately the two guest rooms are very close to each other and you can hear everything that happens in your neighbor’s room. One night we were kept up because of a crying baby from our neighbor’s next door. So your stay depends on how quiet your neighbors are. If you are a pair of single travelers who want a good nights sleep then this is probably not for you.
Beautiful and clean.
