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 AfricaNo wood for making fire, for room heating. We didn't ask though.. A backup heater (gas or electric could be a possible quick backup).
Friendly and helpful communication. Clear directions and things to do. Clear accommodation communication. Peaceful, relaxing, privacy and natural environment. Luke warm pool (just felt the water, didn't plan to swim). Accodative. Neighbouring town-Clarens, restaurants and fun things to do.

South AfricaNothing much just a few suggestions to make the stay perfect . I would like to suggest that an iron and ironing board are provided for. I would also suggest that firewood is provided for in the chalet ( if a guest uses it ,they get charged).We arrived late afternoon and it was so cold and there was no firewood. We managed to get some the following day.
We stayed in a 2 bedroom chalet which looked beautiful and spanking new . Simple but stunning decor . The views are absolutely stunning. We could not leave this place entrancing this place was . We sincerely loved almost everything about this place . The tranquility and peacefulness was everything for us. The swimming pool so gorgeous ,will make sure to come back in summer

South AfricaJust a tiny complaint. The bed was to short for me. An extra length mattress would have been much more comfortable. We prefer a shower. We will definitely stay at Oranje Guest farm again.

South AfricaLovely place! Loved the rustic farm atmosphere! Zara the schnauzer was adorable! Would have loved to enjoy the pool, but as it is solar powered and it was a cloudy day, it couldn't happen. Accommodations was well beyond what l expected. Thanks for a lovely stay! Will be back for the chalets against the mountains.

South AfricaThe different accommodations than the ones in the pictures. No one cares to explain why we are staying in different rooms,than the ones we saw in the picture. Our rooms are congested. Kitchen in the same room as the bedroom. There's carpet which then makes the room smell bad. There's not enough ventilation. There is a stale smell. Like it's a place that's been closed for too long. The kitchen area is in closed cupboards. You struggle to cook as it's also a small space. The bathroom door opens outwardly, and you have to use force to open it.
Only their braai area

South AfricaCommunication wasn't great. After booking, got a random WhatsApp with 2 PDFs without a message welcoming us or giving us context with what the PDFs were about. Initially thought it was spam till I downloaded and opened them. When we got there just after 2pm for check in we had to wait awhile for someone. She told us the room was used by someone else without letting us know before we arrived. She told us that the room is the same size and also includes a bath as per the room we booked. The room according to booking.com is smaller and there's no bath or TV as per our booking. We didn't appreciate not being told the truth, as we booked the original room for the bath. The evening I also WhatsApped the support number to ask if it's okay to get some more milk the next day for breakfast. They did send a lot of milk, which we are grateful for, but my message was read with no acknowledgement or response, so had no idea if we'd get or not.
The views and location. Great to have some fresh milk. The pool and pool room are out of this world. The cascading windows the fully open from the chalet to have a great view over the sheep, cows and pastures are top notch. Taking an evening walk on the farm was soul renewing.

South AfricaIn our room there is a see-through curtain at the main bed - 1st of all the outside light of the house next door shines directly like a spotlight into your eyes. No block out curtain or drop at that window to use. :-( Needless to say, not a lot of sleep possible, so you wake up tired and irritated. When you want to undress you need to go into the bathroom! Suggest they just add a block out curtain and all will be solved. The kitchen does not have any oven facilities, but we made a plan, could just not grill any food.
The location quietness and beauty of the Eastern Free State surroundings are really good! We enjoyed facilities - especially the indoor swimming pool and campsite bathroom facilities was a plus with young children! :-) AND OFF COURSE: 24 hours of power was really a huge plus! Thank you for that!

South AfricaToilet/shower extraction fan in our specific room was very noisy, bad odour from French drain or downpipes in bathroom, luckily not overwhelming and only in the bathroom. Extraction fan vent needs a cleaning. Food offered was tasty but not worth the value charged for the food.
Comfortable beds and nice kitchen unit in room, well kept grounds and beautiful views. Warm water, coffee and clean utensils available in room.

Incredibly mediocre. Would have expected some fruit or cereal to go with it. Cold, and outside our room. Should be in a cozy dining area.
