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.).

It is impossible not to love the exquisite location, the careful attention to detail in the room setting, the friendliness and generosity of spirit of Elsabe Kuypers, but the real star of this Country house is the restaurant. Please do not miss it - you will not forget the experience

GermanyStay 02/22-24/24 What a wonderful stay in Serendipity. The hostess Elsabe does everything to make the guests feel comfortable. What a great atmosphere this house offers with a terrace, tastefully furnished interior and located directly on the river bank. The house's daughter, Lizelle, an internationally awarded chef, offers a 5-course evening menu as a highlight. Of the 9 locations we booked on our SA trip lasting several weeks, certainly in the top 3. We felt very comfortable here and will definitely book at Serendipity again when we stop in Wilderness.

DenmarkEverything was so friendly and we felt almost like we stayed with family. It was such a nice experience and the icing on the cake was dinner at Serendipity ( remember to book in advance:-)). The food was the best we had on our trip and the service and stories around the food were absolutely amazing. You could feel the passion around the food and the wine and it was extraordinary.

The quality of the accommodation and the attention to detail were absolutely outstanding. We travel a lot and this is certainly one of the best places where we have ever stayed. Elsabie was helpful and attentive throughout our stay. Do not miss booking for a meal in the restaurant, run by her daughter and son in law, which is one of the top restaurants in South Africa and a wonderful culinary experience.

Location lovely and peaceful on the side of the lagoon. Balcony from rooms overlooking lagoon a real bonus. Breakfast delicious and extensive choice- including pancakes!!! Hostess very helpful and informative. Added bonus was the opportunity to have a delicious fine dining experience in Serendipity Restaurant, memorable. Plenty of interesting walks in the area and a magnificent beach nearby - our room well equipped with beach bags and towels.
