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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

What’s not to like ? Where do I even start, this was to date the best getaway I’ve had and it’s thanks to this stunning unit. The hosts are so friendly and always willing to assist whenever. The unit is more beautiful in person.

South AfricaWe enjoy all wildlife but keep an eye out for Cape Crawlers (tiny scorpions). They are not dangerous and are very docile but be aware of your surroundings.
Beautiful garden, beautiful view and well equipped. Lovely towels and bedding. Comfortable bed. Particularly enjoyed the birdlife and the quiet farming atmosphere. Very safe and secure.

NetherlandsNothing at all! We stayed here for 5 nights and were sad to leave.
Beautiful studio, stunning surroundings, lovely host Barbara, well equipped kitchen and very nice bed.. Everything you need is there, including a woodburner 😊. There are numerous birds around the house, you can just sit and watch. It's a fantastic spot, ideal to relax and enjoy nature. It's easy to explore the area (garden route national park, knysna, etc.).

The location was lovely and it was a beautiful drive up to the studio. The studio was clean and beautifully decorated. Barbra the host, had left us baked goods with a note to wish us for our wedding anniversary which was so thoughtful.

This place was a perfect hideaway for us, it was beautifully decorated, had every amenity that we could possibly have needed. you’ll need to acquaint yourself with the off-grid power which does mean a generator in the mornings but otherwise we absolutely loved it. Barbara was the most wonderful host and ensured that we wanted for nothing. You’re close enough to town to be able to explore Sedgefield or Knysna but you’re secluded enough to really get the relaxation you’re craving. We’d love to go back.

The whole experience was amazing. The location was hidden away with the most beautiful views. The accommodation was beautifully put together with the smallest detail carefully thought out to ensure a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this accommodation to my friends and family.

South AfricaFantastic location with exceptional views. A place where you can truly get away from it all. The studio has every necessity and then some - just pack yourselves, your luggage and your food. Barbara was an incredibly attentive host and the personal touches were so special. A good distance into the countryside so you feel like you're "getting away from it all" and yet are easily able to access Sedgefield and surrounds with a quick drive. The birdlife was amazing and the local pups, Molly and Quinn, had us feeling at home away from home.
