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.).

KuwaitThe so-called farm foreman was extremely rude on arrival. Water was always on and off. Instead of being told that it was on a timed water pump. Internet was on for 2 days, then off for the rest of our t8me there.
The view was awesome, and it's so peaceful. All you can hear is the animals. Stunning sunsets. Ester was so friendly and welcoming, making you feel like you were at home

South AfricaThe farmworkers makes noise at night. The terrible 11km gravel road from the main road to the venue was kept a secret from me. There is no security lights in the parking area. No undercover parking for vehicles, only trees. The owner knew the sliding door at the chalet behind us was broken and did not fix it, that Friday night they were robbed of laptops, cellphones, wallets & clothing - this is unacceptable. When we arrived we were informed about the leaking kitchen sink pipe that caused a terrible smell exactly where u must prepare your food, it was clear on the rotten wood that it is an old leak. I will not recommend this farm house at all. The bathroomdoos cant close. There is no burglar bars in front of the windows. The ceiling fan is 3m above the bed and makes a terrible sound when turned on. The chain at the main entrance is too short for comfort, it takes u 15 min to get out or in.
Its very quite.

South AfricaThe number of cockroaches in the unit were excessive and the place needs to be professionally fogged. The farm has got loads of junk lying around and the single remaining horse looks like it needs to be put out of its misery. There was a decided disconnect between the website and reality which claimed there were horse trails on offer..
The location was beautiful with a nice view of the mountains. Pool was clean and lovely. Nice to be on a farm out of the city.

South AfricaThe owner of the establishment is very rude. We ended up not staying the second (paid for) night. He should not put his number on the booking.com contact list, rather put Esther’s. He cannot deal with paying customers.
Esther gave us the BIGGEST and MOST FRIENDLIEST welcome! She is a definite asset to this establishment. I wish I had her number sooner.

South AfricaThe road to the place is a nightmare, luckily we were driving a 4x4 vehicle. Owner claimed they drive the road twice a month and any normal vehicle would make it. Owner is very unfriendly. Didn't see the owner once the entire 5 nights that we were there.
Nice secluded and quite. Beautiful area. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

South AfricaWhen the power goes off due to load shedding the water is also affected. We had an issue where there was load shedding and then a pipe burst and there wasn't water for a while. The host did provide us with drinking water which was great.
This place is great for those who want to take time out from the hustle and bustle of the city. it is tranquil and calm. There are also cute animals and you can experience nature by taking a hike or wandering around the ranch.

South AfricaThe place is a bit run down. The pool area is not fabulous. The water in the showers and basins doesn't always work. However, this could also be due to loadshedding. It is a farm environment so the flies were understandable. However, even though they have done their best to try to fix the issue, the flies did make it a bit frustrating.
It was quiet, and we did find it peaceful. Esther, the staff on site is very welcoming. The view from the accommodation is beautiful and there are nice long walks where you can see giraffes etc.

South AfricaThe activities there were very poor. The activities aren't inside the accommodation but apparently they're in the surrounding area. They're no activities in that accommodation. So they advertised activities were false or they didn't state that the activities aren't inside the accommodation. You can go there for the cleanliness but not for activities.
The rooms were very clean. The beds were soo comfortable.

South AfricaThe drive there is extremely confusing. The owner pointed out some directions beforehand, but not nearly sufficient. It took us nearly an additional hour on the road to find the place. In adiiton, we barely had any hot water. Only had one hot shower in the 3 days we stayed there. Some due to loadshedding
The mountains are your backyard. Its absolutely stunning and beautiful. Good place to go switch off from the hustle of the city
