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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

SwitzerlandThe smallest room at the end of the lounge was small and lacked hanging space.
Hostess Jane was very accommodating. Any issues we had were sorted straight away. Lovely area to walk, go fishing, feed the horses and good braai possibilities.

New ZealandThe drive getting to the cottage was on gravel/stone. I would suggest using a ute/bakkie, however, you can access it with a normal vehicle. But absolutely no negative remarks about the cottage itself! It was an amazing stay.
Stunning views. The cottage was truly amazing, all the creature comforts one could ask for. A perfect get away from city life. A rustic set up that warmed our hearts as much as the firepit and fireplace did 😁

Silo Cottage is situated on THE most beautiful farm I have so far ever seen in Underberg! Every evening, my friends and I loved sitting under the stars around our fire pit! What a great feature! Warm and cosey cottage which well equipped. Absolutely stunning scenery! Lots of lovely easy walks especially for pensioners! It was while my parents were living in Underberg for some15 years that my heart and soul truly found where they really belonged! Having grown up in Umhlanga Rocks, it was always to the Drakensberg that I longed to be! The Drakensberg range of Underberg and especially Hodson's Peaks of Sani Pass are so majestic! As the American landscape photographer, Ansel Adams, once said: "No matter how sophisticated you may be, a large granite mountain cannot be denied - it speaks in silence to the very core of your being"! Enjoyed 'talking' to those lovely friendly polo ponies and Drought Master/Beef Master cattle! Loved the peace and tranquility on your beautiful farm! I cannot wait to visit your farm again!! Jane, thank you, thank you, so very much indeed for your lovely warm welcome and for making us all feel very much at home. It was lovely to meet you in person, Warmest regards.

South AfricaThe loft bedroom is a very novel idea, it only has chest of drawers though. Loft bedroom can get quite hot in summer but there was a nice free standing fan. The wood that was available to braai with is more suitable for a fireplace and was not great to make a outside fire with as the chunks were massive - rather source your own braai wood. The bottom grid of the Weber braai was burned through in the middle. No real hiking trail near the house for those seeking more challenging walks. We felt a bit stuck at times between the private properties. Could not find a hosepipe to clean the bulk of the dirt from the car.
Spacious house for a family get away. Easily accessible and not too far away from town. The main bedroom is very easily accessible being on the ground floor. Awesome views from two of the three bedrooms. Third rear facing bedroom is nice and cool in summer. The nearby river was in impressive flood when we visited and an easy walk from the house. Large en suite bathroom for main bedroom. The gravel road leading from the main tar road is well maintained and quite smooth. Old fashioned box TV is great to deterrent for TV addicts. Lovely patio furniture compliments the amazing views. Our small dog was accommodated, which was a big factor in us choosing this place. Convenient laundry area and comfortable kitchen. I liked the fact that the loft bedroom has an en suite toilet. Under cover parking was a bonus.

This place is beyond expectation...the location, the cottage was very comfy m including the beds, families will love silo cottage, the amazing host, river and picnicking spot along side the river, animals around you, privacy and even witnessing a cow giving birth.

South AfricaAccess was difficult in vehicle. We requested a baby cot, it was in a cupboard which we found eventually & would have expected it to be set up. Gas ran out & was replaced but heater starter must have been faulty as it didn’t work again. We had to request wood for the fire the second day. Heated under blanket didn’t work in the main bedroom
It had magnificent views
