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.).

Sanctuary Life Guest Farm is a tranquil, peaceful, with the most spectacular views on the surrounding mountains. Our dogs explored and enjoyed open expanse of the Highveld grassland’s. Wayne was accommodating, helpful and a perfect host. We are looking forward to our next visit.

South AfricaRooms were clean and spacious, patio with a beautiful hillside view, I've never been to a place where so much thought was taken into how to make the guests feel more comfortable or at home, from the family board games to the DVD collection for the kids, Wayne(superhost) really created a magical stay for us and I'm glad to say we'll definitely be back.

This place is a little gem in the countryside. Our host, Wayne, was like a friend and we loved the dogs as well. The cottage has everything and more to make you feel at home. Here you can just sit back and relax away from the busy city life.

South AfricaPeace and quiet. My partner and I were able to shout the world out and just focus on each other, and we really loved that the property easily makes this possible. And of course, Wayne, who additionally fixed a bolt on my BMW :D… We decided to add an extra day to our booking and Wayne was super helpful and made the whole process seem less. We loved Wayne!

South AfricaThere’s a bit of gravel to get to the property and a bit further from the shops. I’d recommend get everything you need before you go so can have a stress free stay!
Clean, helpful owner, great WiFi, cute dogs, has everything you need to make a great meal and open the door to see big empty field and has a nice farm-vibe. We stayed at Sanctuary Life for a one week workation, and got a lot of work done without feeling the city anxiety. Our little dachshund also loved the extra space and playtime with Zoey.

South AfricaWe wish we had seen the horses and the donkey at the farm (as per the pictures) but Wayne mentioned they went away for a show. My kids were a bit disappointed but we saw the sheep - very cute. My son got to feed one of the babies. A part of the curtains was missing in the second bedroom but we made a plan with a blanket.
We loved the spacious cottage and the view. it is very well-equipped. The farm is a nice spot to rest and enjoy the lovely scenery. Wayne is a lovely host and made us feel at home. FYI, we had lunch at the Black horse restaurant (30 min drive), a very nice spot to enjoy a nice outdoor lunch with toddlers (and see black horses).
