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.).

Beautiful property in an idyllic location. Our room was large and comfortable with a beautiful bathroom! Breakfast was perfect taken on the veranda overlooking the mountains & we ate each evening in Patat restaurant. Food outstanding, produced by a very young chef and his team. Service was first class, couldn’t ask for any better. Highly recommend!!

South AfricaWiFi did not always work. The water did not warm up when showering.
The location was great (even a view of some waterfalls). The staff were very kind and accommodating. Peaceful and tranquil stay. Not too far from Oudtshoorn. The beds are very comfy. The food was also great.

United StatesThe bathroom was a bit small with no counter space for supplies. Shower was tight and awkwardly designed (for stepping in and out). Our room was lovely but the bathroom could use an upgrade.
Swartberg country Manor is a real gem tucked away in the Klein Karoo. Super comfortable rooms, lovely staff and absolutely delicious food, beautifully presented. The common areas were also lovely and welcoming and the responsiveness of the staff to special requests was exceptional.

United KingdomStunning views overlooking the mountains. Lovely private terrace connected to the cottage enabling us to relax. Comfy bed and clean everywhere. Excellent breakfast selection, although the portion sizes were very large and we asked them to be smaller. Dinner selection was small but very tasty and well cooked.

GermanyNo complaints at all
This place is kind of an oasis and just beautiful in an impressive environment. We enjoyed the tranquility and the mountain views. The whole place is well maintained, clean and nicely decorated. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are modern and stylish. WiFi was good and parking on the premise in proximity to the rooms. The highlight was by now doubt the food at the restaurant! We had dinner and breakfast there (with a delicious home made bread). I wish we could have stayed longer. It is a special place and a perfect one, if you just want to relax. We can highly recommend this place and will be back soon.

South AfricaBookings.com was misleading on distance to Prince Albert. This was a problem as we had a cycle race, which started at 6am in Prince Albert and had to cross a very hectic mountain pass in the dark.
The setting was magnificent. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was top class. Great wine selection.

South AfricaThe toilet area in our room was a bit cramped, that was the only "very minor" complaint.
Welcome was great! Food excellent and great a choice of wines. Heated blankets was so necessary which was provided for in a very comfortable bed. The couple that run Swartberg Country Manor were very friendly, courteous, professional and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to cater for all our needs. This is our second time that we have stayed there and it only got better!
