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 AfricaAll good!
The location was good, although it is a bit out of Calitzdorp if you want to walk. Nicely decorated rooms, each with its own bathroom/shower. Very neatly kept accommodation and comfortable as well. The communal kitchen worked well for us as we were the only people (group of 8) staying there, but sharing the smallish fridge could become a problem if more people use it. Very friendly host welcomed us!

South AfricaThe shower drain was slightly clogged so water didn't drain as fast. The room also had bugs but nothing too hectic.
The room we booked was spacious and the guest house had beautiful facilities like the pool/braai area. I also liked that they had a huge communal living area. Our car was also safely secured behind a locked gate.

South AfricaA few bowls and small plates in the kitchenette would have been nice.
Great location, we loved the communal kitchen area AND having our own mini kitchenette in our rooms. Our children felt 100% welcome and the family room was great for a family with young kids. Communication from the host was exceptional. Great value for money.

South AfricaWe enjoyed our stay. This accommodation is correctly priced, with quiet surroundings and everything you need for self-catering in the spacious common area with its big lounge. The rooms are well equipped, and the microwave oven in the little kitchen area came in very handy.

South AfricaOur room faced onto the road so.you couldn't really open the curtains and there was only a mobile aircon that didn't work very well. But very small issues compared to the fantastic overall experience.
Beautifully decorated and excellent facilities (communal kitchen, lounge, pool etc). Room are comfortable and well equipped. Host is fabulous. Location is good...off the main road but walking distance to most things. Will always be my first choice in Calitzdorp.

South AfricaService road, and secure parking. The town itself is in a shocking state. For a town that is wellknown for the "fruit basket", we could not find any fruit of any quality. Very irritating vagrants everywhere.
The Calitz is a good stopover when travelling from Cape Town to the Wilderness. The hostess is a lovely woman, extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast is not included, but there are nice braai facilities. We found the service road and parking at the Calitz not up to standard as its a dirt road with potholes, difficult to negotiate. The town itself has deteriorated since our last trip, and the grocery store very under par.
