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 bed was a bit hard. It is a bit windy to braai on the stoep, covers would be awesome.
The remoteness of the Cabin is amazing. The view is spectacular. The fireplace is heavenly. And the Garden is refreshing. The Cabin blew our breath away.

Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous setting! It's private and perfect. Well equipped and extremely comfortable. Loved watching the sunsets on the stoep and relaxing by the indoor fireplace. The perfect place to escape for a while - loved our stay!

We had a truely relaxing three days ... enjoyed the birdsong and tranquility. The cottage itself is lovely ... nicely furnished, well equipped, spacious and comfortable.

South AfricaA word of advice to persons going to Hogsback (this has nothing to to do with Trengwainton) the roads are a disaster, potholed and in dire need of a grade. So just take it easy. Hogsback and Trengwainton are definitely worth it.
The location was excellent. Peaceful but on the doorstep to all that Hogsback has to offer. The establishment was very well equipped. We were very happy with the establishment and Joanne.

United KingdomThe house has everything that you want and need for your stay, from excellent braai facilities to a fireplace inside. The interior design, layout and furnishings are beautifully done and the views over the garden and mountain range are absolutely breathtaking. Hours can be spent looking out from the veranda or comfy seats in the lounge, inbetween the excellent walks that can be taken from the doorstep. The main street and other popular attractions and walks are just a short drive away. This property, together with the locals and scenery, all add to the charm of Hogsback, making it a gem of a place and a must on any bucket list.

South AfricaFrom the flowers on arrival to the well-stocked fireplace and braai facilities, this cosy cottage has everything you need for a quiet getaway with uninterrupted views, an abundance of birdlife, completely surrounded by nature, yet still close enough to the village. The information and service received from Joanne and her team prior to our stay and throughout was exceptional. A very special and magical place in Hogsback.

South AfricaI would advise guests to bring two-pin plugs or adaptors to charge devices. Also note that there is no toaster or microwave and while the kitchen is well-appointed, the frying pan is very small, even for two people.
Absolutely stunning view - unparalleled! The cottage is cosy, modern and very comfortable. It's well looked-after, clean and neat. The fireplaces are great and well-stocked. The accommodation is conveniently located to the central village and comfortable enough to spend a whole day just on the property itself.
