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 AfricaInternet dropped off quite often, wasn't a big deal for us, but you probably could not work remotely from here.
Great value for money. We really only needed somewhere to sleep for one night, but I could happily return for a weekend away. The loadshedding proof fan is worth a special mention.

South AfricaWe couldn't fault our stay Rooiheuwel Cottage - our hosts were absolutely charming and the cottage beautifully equipped, extremely clean and comfortable and the location on the farm was beautiful. We only wish we could have stayed a little longer to explore the area further, but this gives us an excuse to come back!

South AfricaDidn’t like to have to leave.
We loved that the cottage was so well equipped. The Olde World charm really appealed to us. We also enjoyed being able to barbecue on the patio. It felt very cosy, a real home away from home! The owner was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. She made us feel more like a special guest than a visitor. She recommended the best places and restaurants to visit in the area which made our lives so much easier. We will definitely be back!

South AfricaThe only downside was no water during load shedding, although if Anina is home she runs the generator and then you do have water. We worked around it, and it was ok. Just something to consider though.
We enjoyed our stay at Rooiheuwel. We were in the area for a wedding, and the location was very convenient, as well as access. We thoroughly enjoyed having the animals around to entertain us too. Very cute dogs & cat. Anina was very accommodating and communication was great.

South AfricaHardly anything. But at a stretch, maybe a two plate to cook but there is a microwave. Circumstantial to my needs. Not a deal breaker. Was aware that only a microwave was available before coming so had made my plans accordingly.
The staff are uber friendly and accommodating, potential issues are addressed before they occur (the SA factor), cleanliness is top priority, easy access.

Anina's warm and friendly welcome to her comfortable, spacious and tastefully furnished cottage makes you feel at home. Enjoy the sheltered stoep and braai area and luxurious bed with hot blanket on a cold night! Every thing supplied was of the finest quality. It is a working farm and Helius went out of his way to show us the grafting of the vines. We will be back!

South AfricaAs an owner of a B&B myself, I know I would appreciate critique from my guests. So here goes..... The single bed's mattress is shot. My father chose to sleep in the single bed and said it is like a hammock in the middle and is flattened on the one side, probably from people sitting on the edge of the mattress. Also, the kitchen needs a dish sponge and lappie to wash and wipe up. In the shower, a little bar of soap would have been nice in case one forgets to bring a shower scrunchie or sponge. Wasn't too thrilled with the visitors parking in front of our windows encroaching on our awesome view, even if they didn't stay too long. From the photos, I was under the impression that the outside patio and fireplace faced the view - I was looking forward to having sundowners on the patio looking out at your incredible views.
Anina and her husband are gracious and affable hosts and were very accommodating. The location was beautiful and the cottage quaint and appealing and cozy. Enjoyed the grafting tour and the dogs, although I sadly never got to see Mary the cat.... Was pleasantly surprised by the personalized welcoming note by the front door.
