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 AfricaThere seem to be quite a number of insects - fortunately, you are provided with various sprays which is helpful. Suggestion - Maybe one could use Fendona or something along that line for a more permanent eradication of insects.
The setting was great, The fact that each room has its own shower and toilet - makes the time even more pleasurable. Close enough to wine farms and town - could even partake in the Parkrun in Robertson.

South AfricaI would have liked an indoor/on the porch braai as well (there is just a fire pit, which was so great for the vibe), but it rained a bit during our stay and we had to plan around that.
The house is very private and the views from the porch was amazing! The pool was enclosed, with a gate, so we didn't have to worry about being on high alert with the kids at all times. You really felt like you could switch off and relax. We went on a few relaxing walks on the farm and drank many of bottle of wine on the porch :)

South AfricaThere is an open space between the pool and the house. If you make a misstep then you can seriously hurt yourself. We had to check and remind kids a lot to be careful.
location is perfect. Quiet evenings on the porch and a great boma. The rooms were equipped with drinking water and different types of insect reppellants - a great touch.

South AfricaThere is no Kol Kol bath but that was only a minor issue.
Wonderful, secluded and relaxing weekend breakaway with family or friends, in close proximity to the Robertson Valley wine farms. As a bonus we had a free olive oil tasting with Daniel, the farm manager who took us on tour of the boutique olive oil factory after which we had our very first olive oil tasting, straight from the tanks.

South AfricaUnfortunately the weather was to blame here as a years rain fell in 2 days making the road impassable for a small car. There is a gate at the end of the farm road which closes at 6pm and it can be difficult to go in and out as there was only one remote between 4 cars. The single beds are very narrow for an adult
Lovely setting with a great outdoor space and small pool. The fireirepit- boma area is also a wonderful space for a braai. Comfy beds with great linen

South AfricaProbably the pool not being heated, but that’s me being nit picky. And the 10km gravel road drive into the place. But it was so worth it.
It has EVERYTHING! You can tell a lot of effort was put into it.

South AfricaWe would have liked a proper oven although Sandi was incredibly hospitable and made a plan for us to cook our Christmas lunch. I would suggest future visitors to arrive from the Robertson side as a much shorter drive on the gravel road.
The large wrap around balcony, the beautiful location, the lovely pool. We spent a lovely 4 days at Olive Hill. It’s a very comfortable house with plenty of room. We enjoyed walks and bike rides with the kids on the farm roads and spent a lot of time in the pool.

South AfricaHonestly not much, besides the 10km+ dirt road to get there and the fact that we needed to ask for wood a few times, everything else was great.
The swimming pool was crystal clear and perfect to cool off and the fire pit was amazing for the late night chill sessions.

South AfricaThe braai facilities could have been better I may have missed the info, but would have been good to know there was no oven in the place - only a micro/combi but managed to make do This is a long shot but for the setting and time of year, it would have been amazing to have an inside fireplace as it was not comfortable with the wind to sit by the outside firepit
The setting was amazing and the house is lovely. We were a family of four travelling with two young boys and very comfortable...would have been equally as comfortable sharing with another young family
