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 weren’t supplies to clean up after one’s self when using the Braai facilities. There was only one small bin, needed more bin space for waste. There were minimal provisions for loadshedding only a small candle, which was not sufficient.
It was really beautiful and quiet. The owner upgraded our stay which was amazing.

South AfricaThe surrounding area was a little depressing. Unfortunately not something that they have control over. A couple of broken items in the room, such as the heater. The outside light shone through the frosted glass room door into our faces, which made it a little hard to sleep - no curtains to block it. So much love was put into the decor - I'd recommend changing the light bulbs from cool white to warm white as cold lighting really does spoil the atmosphere of a room, which is a huge shame when effort has been put into making the room comfortable and cosy.
Wonderful staff - we felt very welcomed by Belinda and the housekeeping and groundskeeping staff who were very friendly and clearly eager to help. We got upgraded to a larger room because one was available. Clearly a lot of love and effort given to decor and comfort of the rooms.

South AfricaIt would be helpful to maybe have 2 cereal bowls for breakfast and perhaps a pair of scissors or sharp knife. The outside lights shine directly through the door at night, perhaps a little curtain over the glass door? But we enjoyed our stay very much, the honeymoon suite was tasteful and comfortable.
Lovely decor. Quiet location. Belinda sent relevant pin location and road condition details and was very helpful and hospitable. We enjoyed cooling off in the pool. It was a brief but recommended stay.

South AfricaEverything. I left on the day that I arrived due to the accommodation not looking like the photos on the website, there were ants and spiders in the room, there was no electricity after load shedding had occurred and the generator kept cutting out. Then I was asked if they could switch of the geyser in order for there to be less strain on the generator. The generator was right next to the rooms and was very loud and at one point the generator had a minor explosion. The road to the accommodation also has a lot of potholes and would not have been safe to drive on if arriving back to the accommodation when it was dark.

South AfricaIt was disappointing compared to all our other stays. Bare minimum in our room. Far from town and no facilities on site to sort out a meal. Roads into the accommodation were very poor. Our last stop over on our holiday and a huge let down. Really was not value for money, in fact it was over priced.
It was clean.

South AfricaBreakfast was not served as requested and confirmed via booking.com and as advertised on the website. Plumbing is a problem. Bed side tables had no light bulbs and electical cord for the one lamp was unsafe. Felt unsafe due to lack of security. The fact that the room wasn't properly cleaned made me wonder whether the bedding was changed. The water from the toilet leaking and me stepping in it in the room. The hot tap fell of when turned - Battled to get it out of the hot water in the tub. The road is in a terrible state and the garden needs attention. There was a urine smell outside our room.
It is quiet and peaceful and has the potential to be a beautiful venue.
