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 was not a thing I did not like, everything was perfect
We love visiting the coast with our two daughters atleast once a year and normally book beachfront accommodation. This year for our 10th wedding anniversary my husband and I decided to have some time alone without the kids. A few days at the beach and I decided to switch it up a bit and looked for a place that has a different kind of vibe, nature, peace and tranquility. I stumbled upon macleod guest cottage and was blown away by the beauty and elegance of the pictures, not to mention the remarkable reviews. The pictures does not do this place justice though, you need to experience it for yourself. Upon arrival there was some sherry and chocolates provided, also complimentary wine since it was our anniversary and my bday that day, I found that to be such a thoughtful touch. The cottage is absolutely spotless, no detail was spared in terms of decorating, the kitchen was a dream for me, with everything you would need and appliances, kitchen cutlery and crockery in immaculate condition, nothing was worn out, there was an array of teas and coffee, bottled waters in the fridge and milk. It definitely felt like a 5star experience, to me it felt like we booked into a little castle and felt like such a fairytale. The bed and pillows were so comfortable that we had to spend one afternoon napping. The bathtub is luxurious, the outdoor shower is an experience regardless of weather conditions and as if that was not enouge, a walk in the garden with the sound of the waterfall right below the cottage was just absolutely out of this world. The towels, linen, dishcloths and even liquid soaps etc. were luxury hotel quality. They even had bath robes in the bathroom closet. In all my life I have never experienced accommodation where I can truly rate it 10/10, it exceeded my expectations. The hosts should be so proud of this little gem! Oh and there is a mall and restaurants just a 5minute drive away

South AfricaCheck if the reserve is open before planning on a hiking trip to avoid disappointment. Privacy limitations, but should be expected with a guest house right next to the main property with hosts actively checking in with you. No air-conditioning means it may be uncomfortable in summer for people sensitive to heat but open plan layout would be a hurdle to air-conditioning so it should be expected. A small fireplace is located next to the bath though. No backup power (other than internet router) during load shedding. Not wheelchair friendly with narrow driveway and steps outside and inside the guest house so would not be ideal for disabled individuals.
Very beautiful location right on the border of the Krantzkloof Nature Reserve with a gate right into the reserve which means hiking is possible directly from the property – sadly not on our visit as the reserve was closed. Pictures do not do this guest house justice, it is gorgeous both inside and out with striking views and scenery on the property. It is great for a romantic getaway (bearing in mind privacy limitations) with an lovely outside shower (there is no indoor shower option) and large bath both big enough for 2 average sized persons. Candles, lamps and powered led lights provided for loadshedding. The guest house was very clean and neat with a kitchen containing sufficient cutlery for a self-catering experience. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. 100mb fibre internet (tested using Speedtest.net).

South AfricaThere is absolutely nothing to dislike.
This was probably the most outstanding place we have stayed in. It was top class. The decor, the attention to details, the location, the hosts - it was the most wonderful stay in the most amazing place in the most incredible setting and Lyn and Aiden were brilliant hosts - nothing was too much for them and they were available but unobtrusive. I could go on and on but highly recommend staying in this little piece of paradise.

South AfricaIt was perfect! Lyn and her husband Aidan have thought of everything. Even charging plugs in all the right places and a full blown cinema if you are into that!
Probably my favourite guest house in the whole of South Africa. It has style, fascinating architecture, trees, trees and more trees with a view down the Kloof. Unbeatable, but the best is the warm welcome from Lyn and her attention to detail in everything she does and has done to make this such a special place to stay.

South AfricaEverything was great.
The greenery set against the backdrop of the Krantzkloof reserve, stone walls and fireplace caught our attention immediately when we arrived for our weekend getaway. This is a hidden gem that we will definitely be coming back to soon. We specifically loved the outdoor shower with exceptional views, mosaic ceiling in the bathroom, super comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen and relaxing around the fire pit with a braai and full moon. Lyn and Aidan were exceptional hosts that made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend of relaxation. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone!

South AfricaThat I was a little under the weather. However, even then it was still a great experience. That we did not book for longer. (It's always so hard, to go home, after you've experienced the MACLOED enerrgy)
The hosts are always so sweet. Since it was my birthday, they left me a card! Which in my book was very thoughtful. The views, are always shocking whenever we see them. The privacy this property allows as well as the serenity. Their dogs are so sweet, and since we've been there before, they were so excited to see us again! To be honest, if anyone doubts how spectacular this place is, don't. It is worth every penny. The pictures of the actual property and area surrounding it, doesn't do it justice. It really is something you need to experience for yourself. Also, we will definitely be going back again.

South AfricaWhen we arrived, I was shell shocked by how the pictures did not do the place justice. The views are breathtaking, the owners are absolutely delightful, and the dogs are such friendly and playful animals. Me and my partner, really had a fantastic time. We have already booked another stay, so that should confirm how amazing this place was. The hard work, passion and dedication, Aidan & Lyn put in to ensure this place is as beautiful and nature inclusive as it is, is honestly very astounding. The decor, styling and all the small things added, gives the place that personal feel, which we really appreciated. THANK YOU FOR CREATING A CORE MEMORY FOR ME AND THABISO. Also the outside shower, bath tub and heated blankets really are a life saver! THANK YOU SO MUCH MACLOED. 🥰💚
