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 AfricaA wonderful view in a tranquil environment, very friendly and helpful host, everything was clean and neat, the kitchen is well-equipped with all the utensils you might need and good coffee and rusks as a bonus with an optional but very tasty "braaipack". Thank you very much Lianda!

South AfricaThe only problem was finding the place. The GPS coordinates on booking.com and google direct to the wrong cottage quite far away. We drove around for 45 minutes trying to find the place, going to 4 incorrect addresses, including an abandoned house and a road that became an overgrown mass of brush. A bit stressful. But once we arrived, the place scores a 10 out of 10. The host did not communicate the correct address before our arrival so ensure you get the GPS coordinates from the host before arrival. Do not use those on google or booking.com
Superb tranquil paradise in the small karoo. Refreshing pool. Beautifully furnished house. Lovely braai area with spectacular views! Lovely beds with quality linen. We loved it.

A truly exceptional warm Klein Karoo farm experience. The splash pool so welcome on those hot days. More little extras we ever expected including a welcoming sherry, freshly baked bread with cheese, breakfast cereals, rusks, welcoming pack on each bed, filter coffee and tea, wood for the braai and more. What a treat also for our granddaughter to be invited to feed the baby lamb. Great facilities without feeling you are walking on eggs.

South AfricaI would've loved a heater in the living area. The indoor fireplace/braai could not give enough heat to heat up the living area. I didn't like the lack of covering at the bathroom window. I would have liked a door that separates the bedroom from the bathroom for more privacy.
Lianda is a friendly and very helpful host. I valued her quick email replies or input on directions. The ELANDSHUISIE is beautifully furnished and decorated. I loved the attention to detail: complimentary sherry on a silver tray, breakfast basket with freshly baked bread, butter and marmelade. Yogurt, cheeses and milk in the fridge. Enough teas, coffee, sugar and other condiments, even a little olive oil. There were enough toiletries and towels. The electric blanket was a blessing during the chilly nights. There was a hair dryer, a first aid kit and a sewing kit.

Location: peace and quiet in an astounding environment. We arrived from Cape Town direction, through Barrydale, the last stretch on a good dirt road. Prinspoort, with its spectacular rock formations, just before you arrive on the farm, is a miraculous sight. We stayed in the Elandshuisie, super clean, spacious and well-equipped with everything you need. All you need to take are your food and drinks. Freshly baked delicious farm bread, jam and cheese await you on arrival. Lianda and her husband are wonderful hosts who will go out of their way to make your stay a memorable one. We forgot some goodies and Lianda quickly arranged for it to be sent to us. We stayed for three days and enjoyed the views, the walks and the fresh air. If you are looking for a break from the urban madness, look no further, peace and quiet prevail on this farm!
