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 AfricaKitchen equipment could have been a little cleaner or maybe some things replaced from being well used. Knives not the sharpest, and couldn't find scissors, but otherwise well stocked with cutlery and crockery.
Conveniently situated, peaceful and very safe. Friendly and helpful staff. Super comfortable beds with crisp, clean bedding and electric blankets. Lovely views and birdlife. Dog friendly. Steaming hot shower and bath. Beautiful indoor fireplace. Loved the complimentary farm fresh milk, rusks and coffee too!

South AfricaThe broken fire grid, the front door that sticks, and the bathroom taps that swivel.
The location is excellent. Quiet, peaceful & totally relaxing. The host was so accommodating by allowing us to check out later after our Sani Pass CHOC walk. The cottage is well equipped, even with little extras like fresh farm milk, some ground coffee, and electric blankets. Excellent value for money. Would love to go back sometime to explore the surroundings.

I had a seamless check-in experience and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The room was exceptional, with immaculate cleanliness, ample space and beautiful decor. The gas stove and load shedding lights were especially helpful during power outages. The staff member Lungi was amazing, always assisting us with a smile. Pierre was a great help in planning our trip and proved to be an excellent host.

South AfricaNot critique of Pennygum, but keep in mind that winter nights, and esp early mornings, are seriously cold. Book the fireplace if you can! Also, while the road from Howick was better than we feared, we did seriously damage a tire on our Hyundai Creta on a pothole. Just don't drive at night, don't drive fast and you should be fine.
The location is stunning. We arrived late afternoon at the start of load shedding and were immediately upgraded to a cottage with a fireplace! It also had an extra bedroom, and we didn't have to share :) (The message said bring your own toilet paper but don't worry, there's plenty!) Underberg is a rural town, but has everything you may need. Got a beautiful, warm Basotho blanket, with an explanation of its specific cultural significance.

South AfricaLocation was absolutely stunning. When we arrived, by mistake our room was booked twice and the "other" people had already occupied the unit. Pierre and Jacqui immediately offered us alternative accommodation at a nearby cottage. They even offered for us to stay in their private home. Wow, what exceptional service!! They were able to find alternative accommodation and really went out of their way to help us get our braai packs and charcoal (that we had ordered over the phone before arrival) to our "new" accommodation. We were riding a motorbike, so it wasn't easy to have extra stuff. Thank you so much Pierre and Jacqui, we look forward to booking again with you guys, as your place looks sooooo beautiful

MonacoThe photos of the cottage didn't do it justice. We were truely blown away with the atmosphere and style of the cottage.
The cottage and service was more then what we expected! The cottage had everything you needed and was in pristine condition. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. In the evenings they would pack and light the fireplace making the cottage even more cozy. It is ideally situated for a morning run/walk, horse riding, paddling, etc and to the restaurants scattered along the Underberg surroundings. The value for money makes this a 10/10 stay.
