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.).

We had a wonderful stay at rainforest ridge. The surroundings and views were stunning, with breathtaking nature all around. Our little cottage was clean and quiet. The outside and pool area of the accommodation are very nice. The shared kitchen area provided everything we needed for cooking. It's still an ongoing project, some small things might require maintenance, but that's what makes it so charming. Our host was fantastic, providing us with helpful tips to explore the surrounding nature. We enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to others.

South AfricaAlthough there were some tourist brochures available, as far as I could find, no information provided about the resort and its facilities.
We only stayed for one night so it was difficult to develop a full impression of the resort and its facilities. We were upgraded to a guest house which was more than adequate for our needs for our stay. The view from the property was amazing.

South AfricaWhat is there to say? The photos don't do the place justice at all. Peace, beauty, quiet and the location is perfect for those wanting to explore Knysna, Plett and Nature's Valley without staying in those overcrowded areas. We absolutely loved every minute, from being greeted by the dogs and Benn to saying goodbye. We've already recommended the place to family and friends and we will absolutely be back. Deserves 10 stars. Willem misses Jojo already.

United KingdomThe approach roads are bumpy for a small low-height car. It's passable with care, but would be fine for a 4x4. The shared kitchen area is minimal and sparsely equipped. If you're bringing food you might be best to consider a barbecue option instead of an oven or stove-top meal.
I would strongly recommend this place. Don't let the word "eco" put you off. It's magical and you get a really warm welcome. The views and the peacefulness are priceless. It is a stunning location with cute areas which would suit a romantic couple or parties of friends. Benn was extremely helpful and attentive, but left us to our space at the appropriate times. He has clearly worked hard to make an interesting and funky space with amazing views all around. Seeing the sunrise was delightful and even having WiFi in such a remote spot was a surprise.

South AfricaIt was a little short on some minor supplies such as a dish towel, bin bags, tea and coffee, and shower soap/shampoo.
Rainforest Ridge has a beautiful view and is extremely peaceful. It's a lovely place to watch and listen to birds enjoying the fynbos. We enjoyed sitting on our deck at sunrise. Benn was very helpful and friendly. He has lovely, huge dogs. It is close to many local attractions such as Birds of Eden and Monkeyland, and Nature's Valley.
