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 was a fair amount of rain, which led to very muddy roads in and around the facility, but fun as I had a 4x4.
Location is a little slice of heaven. All staff were on the ball, and no communications barrier was experienced. Breakfast and dinners were fantastic and on time. Fantastic place for families and relaxation.

South AfricaLoad Shedding was the only thing I can truly say .....but it is totally out of our control. It has its positive side though ....no TV and a candle lite dinner ... Awesome.
The breakfast was just out of this world, to sit there looking at the lake and mountains whilst having breakfast just makes the experience even better. The friendly staff was also a berth of fresh air, nothing was to mutch trouble for them. We travel often and love to do weekends away, this was by far the most beautiful place ever. We are so blessed to live in South Africa and to have places like this on our door step, we met people there from Germany, Netherlands, etc.. and it made me proud to tell them that we live in SA. We have done a 3 week overseas trip last year in August 2023 to Amsterdam, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Venice.....and it was jaw dropping beautiful ....awesome to know that we have that same beauty if no even more beautiful right here in our country. Love it !!! Will 100% vist again.

South AfricaThe fireplace and provided wood looked as though no one had touched it in months (understandable as it has been Summer); however, finding cobwebs and spiders was not fun! - a little more attention when cleaning for guests arrival would be appreciated. The electric blanket on one side of the bed did not work on an especially cold night, but we made do.
The entire experience was amazing. A worthwhile place to visit if you need to get away from your busy life and be immersed in nature. The staff were attentive and friendly. The owner Gareth went out of his way to ensure we had a safe journey and that we had settled in. Overall a lovely experience with everything one could need.

South AfricaVery hot at night and the cabin wasn't well prepared for that: Noisy ceiling fan in the main bedroom - too loud to keep on while trying to sleep; but no windows to open in the bedroom (only sliding doors). No fan in the second bedroom. No top sheet - only a heavy duvet.
Spectacular setting, on a lake, with the majestic Drakensberg as our backdrop. Well-equipped & large accommodation. Met by the lovely Sabelo, who procured some wine for us.

We did not have breakfast. The local is superbly situated at the foot of the mountains and on the edge of a beautiful lake
