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 AfricaI did not like that the cottage was not fenced and the pets could access the cottage at any time.
I liked the location of the cottages. Everything is a few minutes drive away, & the views are great.

FranceNothing! Everything was perfect.
The Goodland Cottages is a fantastic place to stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated, making it cozy and welcoming, with super comfortable beds. You'll find chickens and the owner's dog nearby, adding a charming touch. There's also a small pool for cooling off on hot days. The area around the cottage is lush and green, offering stunning mountain views. In the evenings, sitting around the fire pit makes for a perfect end to the day. Plus, there are lots of activities to do in the area. Overall, The Goodland Cottages provide a peaceful and enjoyable escape, perfect for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature.

From the complimentary farm eggs, to the very warm welcome, to the extremely well kitted out kitchen and spotlessly clean cottage (even an air fryer is supplied), to the magnificent views, this is literally a piece of paradise. This is the second time we have stayed here and we will definitely be back.

South AfricaWould be nice to have a baggage table to put your bag on. It's uncomfortable to work through your bag at floor level. Some fresh milk for the first day would also be nice so that it helps you on your arrival day whereafter you can go buy your own milk the next day. Just a suggestion.
Lovely gardens. Kitchen had all crockery and utensils needed and more. Coffee and Tea provided for first day. Comfortable beds. Can definately recommend this for a long relaxing and comfortable stay. Very quiet environment. Loved it.

South AfricaThere was no aircon. The drakensburg is very hot during summer and the room itself was very hot, so it was quite a struggle without aircon.
Lovely decor, comfortable room with backup inverter for the TV and lights during loadshedding and very friendly owners and staff.

South AfricaThe roads to get there from the main road (no fault of the owners) are not in the best state. Drive carefully. The hot water from the shower can be temperamental, but didn't really affect us.
Everything! All the modern comforts in a peaceful natural setting. The location has the best of both worlds - a feeling of being isolated while still being close to restaurants and attractions. Thanks to the solar inverters, we remained unaffected by loadshedding. Fully equipped kitchen if you need it. Spacious and designed for relaxation. Wish I could have stayed longer!

United KingdomWe stayed in Milk Cottage and felt it was the best accommodation of our 3 week holiday in Kwazulu-Natal. The cottage was spacious but cosy and had a brilliantly equipped kitchen. One of the best features was its outdoor space - various places to sit and enjoy the good weather in a private space away from the hosts family home. We really enjoyed spending time in the dining/lounge area and the cottage has a great fireplace. It’s also in a brilliant location for exploring central Drakensburg.

NetherlandsIf nitpicking the warm water (taps&shower) in chalet one was a bit hit-and-miss, but that seems to be a temporary issue with just one chalet.
Clean and fully equiped chalets, pretty setting with views of mountain range. Maryke is an excellent host, just the right info on the area.

South AfricaThe shower in the bath is not the best but because the other room had a good shower, it did not detract from the experience too much.
The location and the Milk Cottage is absolutely. The added extras such as the Nespresso machine, basics in the kitchen added to making it a pleasant experience.

NetherlandsIt’s a home away from home with a stunning view. The cottage is very well equipped and lovely decorated. Everything was so thoughtful, there’s the portable lights for the hours during loadshedding and the kitchen has everything you need for a nice home cooked meal. The splash pool is refreshing after hiking in Monks Cowl.
