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 little bit intrusion of privacy when guests at other units walk through the front of the cottage where the braai is on their way to the communal pool.
We loved the sun loungers, the outside fireplace and the hot tub. The furniture and decor was very well chosen and we had a great time. Location is excellent and close to a lot of the attractions in Stellenbosch.

United KingdomVery little not to like. The chairs for sitting, watching TV could have been more comfy. We didn’t meet the hosts but they responded promptly to a query I sent them.
It was a really pleasant and characterful lodge/chalet , very peaceful. Kitchen well supplied and lots of wood for the braai. Also very clean.

South AfricaWe prefer a bigger bed but it won't stop us from visiting again.
Loved our stay. Was peaceful. Loved the friendly Maya the dog and watching the buck and squirrel in the garden. We even saw an owl. Was so close to all amenities. Hikes and trails right on our doorstep. The hot tub was fantastic too. Thank you for making our getaway such an enjoyable one will definitely be back!

Just a 10 to 12 min drive to the center of Stellenbosch.The braai in the evening while you listen to the night sounds of the birds and chirping of the night bugs lets you relax and escape from a hectic city life

NetherlandsNothing negative, just be aware that the dirt road leading to the entry gate has quite some bumps, so better to have a SUV car.
Host welcomed us at the gate and showed us around. The gardens are very nice and the cabin has everything you might need. Fully equipped kitchen, there is even basic power during load shedding. We loved the dogs and tame impala! When something was broken it was replaced straight away.

South AfricaThere was nothing that we didn’t like, the couch was just a little uncomfortable for a couple.
We loved the set up. It was modern and clean. Thank you the wood, we didn’t plan on using the pool as a hot tub but lit the fire just to take the chill off the water. Your dogs are amazing!
