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 AfricaThe shower does not drain properly, we stood in the water, we mentioned it to Gertruida.
Located in a quiet part of Oudtshoorn, well- kept garden adds to a peaceful experience.

South AfricaWe couldn’t find anything that we didn’t like.
The location of the cottage is very private from the main house. We had our own peace & quiet for our 2nights stay. The landlady is very generous, kind, charming, a very happy lady. The cottage is old charm, rustic and beautiful as is. It’s a home away from home kind of feel. Perfect for relaxation.

South AfricaNothing.
Lovely central to town, only 950m +- from the central town shopping Centre with all the take-aways and shops. Lovely old-world charm in the flat with some very homey touches. The hostess is superb, and made us feel very welcome. I enjoyed the plant collection in the garden in front of our little flat.

South AfricaWe had no problem. We love our stay.
Super comfortable and peaceful! Neat and clean, and super safe We enjoyed our stay, our host was very friendly and went the extra mile for us. We were booked in for one night, but our host offered to leave our luggage, and we went back to refresh ourselves and stayed on for a few hours without any additional charges. Highly recommended! Peace of heaven. I immensely enjoyed the peaceful experience.

United KingdomOnly the fact that we had to leave on the morning!
After a lovely stay here in 2022, we had no hesitation in booking again for a family stay in 2023. And everything was just as fantastic as last time. Gertruida is an amazing host - she has provided comfortable, homely and individual rooms which we loved. Typical of the hot Karoo, ceilings are high and windows darkened to keep things cool. The bathrooms were spotless and nice to use, and the kitchen and cooking facilities were first class - we had everything we needed. We used the braai outside in the lovely shade of the garden. Each room has private outdoor sitting area screened off. The succulent garden is a joy to see and enjoy. So much work has gone into making this a brilliant place to stay. Oudtshoorn will always be on our itinerary whenever we visit South Africa again!

AustraliaWarm, comfortable, quiet and secure apartment. It was just perfect for us, and had a very comfortable bed, excellent shower, great kitchen, dining table and cosy sitting area. Patio area was covered, with table and chairs, lots of green foliage and birds singing. Away from main roads it was very quiet and tranquil. And our host was such a happy, friendly and welcoming lady. Wifi very fast which has not always been the case in South Africa. So glad we found this place and will stay again.
