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 AfricaTHINGS THE OWNER CAN SADLY DO NOTHING ABOUT : - the dirt road to the place was just unexpectedly further than we thought - and not in a good state! ...we drive a small car which did not do well on such roads!! - the farm is very secluded - so no wi-fi - sadly, the much-needed cool weather (after soaring 40deg temp's the previous day!!) and rain set in the day we arrived - so we could not really appreciate all the farm had to offer
the surroundings and cottage and set-up are delightful - owner really super (a real 'gentleman' farmer!!),

South AfricaThey could add handles in the bathroom for older people to get in and out of the bath/shower. The walking trails wasn't clearly marked which would help too.
We chose this place as it promised to be quiet. We had a wonderful time. This is a real friendly guest house which has great service and a good atmosphere. The rooms are really clean well maintained and up to scratch. It was better than the pictures.

South AfricaLocation excellent, we travelled backroads from Laingsburg. We loved our welcoming party named Curly. The Aloe cottage was exactly what we wanted, private and surrounded by bush. Bundles of wood were ready for the braai and fantastic jams (to purchase) displayed in the kitchen. We can recommend the quince jam and 3 fruits marmalade. The Tuffin family is doing a great job!

South AfricaNo reception, no wifi (i had alot of work to catch up on, and have a daughter that needs white noise to sleep) our fan was making noises, we were mostly without electricity, despite that there was no loadshedding... Our fridge stank like rotting flesh, so much so that we ended up throwing away many food items, even though we only uncovered later that it was the fridge itself. It was so bad that we avouded using the fridge, just to not have to have the smell permeating through the house.
We loved the friendliness of the staff, the amazing doggies and the beautiful scenery
