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 AfricaThe kitchen could be better equipped. For example: Although the cottage sleeps 4, there were only 3 matching plates and 1 glass wine glass. There weren’t enough tumblers.
The cottage was cosy and comfy. We loved the outlook towards the mountains in the distance. Wisdom, the host, was an absolute star. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We loved having a fireplace - even in January. A fire was lit every night. We loved the dogs visiting. And the cat. It was great having the horses on the property too. We enjoyed the tranquility and nearby walks.

South AfricaPoor state of the national roads
Beautiful location; however, getting there was a challenge as the national roads are in a bad state of disrepair. This, coupled with the heavy mist, necessitated a very slow drive which made the trip feel much longer and tiring.

AustraliaRoad to the property is a gravel for 14kms, reckon ok in a 4x4, though I had a city hire care. There was a storm on one afternoon, driving a bit hard but made it through.
Lovely environment, helpful staff, beautiful scenery. Just a lovely place to spend peaceful time in an idyllic environment. Loved the dogs and cat visits and the lovely open robdavel for sundowners and tea. Nice fire and some wine in the evening. Good place to unwind. Visit to the dairy was an interesting option. Proximity to Sani pass had us doing a drive to the SA border control point.

South AfricaOven old and broken, so we had to make a plan on our first night as it could not be fixed. We used the microwave to cook our meal which was not great, as it was also old and temperamental. Microwave could not be switched off and was replaced by one that worked well. A new oven is recommended. This accounts for our facilities rating. We loved walking, but found the trails to be poorly marked. A map would have been really useful.
Location great - secluded and peaceful. Farm dogs loved by our kids and great fun to play and go on long walks with. Garden beautiful and restful. Bath water was always hot and fire was great on a cold night. Privacy was fantastic. Staff helpful and unobtrusive. Fresh farm milk and beautiful flower posies appreciated.

South AfricaI loved everything.
The fireplace was my favourite feature. The photos do not do this place justice, the place is way bigger than I expected. I could have spent a whole week there! The cottage is SO cosy and now I see why that was such a big comment in previous reviews. Although there’s no heaters in the rooms they were still nice and warm (it was snowing outside) We had a great weekend and would choose this accommodation again in a heart beat. Nice feature was the Victorian bath!!

The staff are very helpful and the owners even let me use their office for meetings as the WiFi signal was better. It’s one of the best kept secrets of the Underberg and we will definitely go back!
