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 AfricaIt is very difficult in the case Vergeet- My -Niet to find anything which could be improved . However the only aspect I think could improve an already great experience would be if, upon arrival there were a welcome pack/ basket of some sort. Perhaps a bottle of wine and a selection of items to showcase the many delicious local products available eg olives , fruit etc. Even if it meant a small increase in price. This would nicely supplement the already provided tea, coffee, milk and rusks.
Vergeet-My-Niet is a peaceful oasis within the peaceful oasis that is Prince Albert. The cottage is a wonderfully restored period property within the grounds of the main house, but the extent of the gardens and olive grove beyond, make it feel like it is in the middle of the countryside! The gardens play host to a vast array of bird life. I spent a fascinating and very relaxing hour on the stoep nestled in the comfortable armchair in the late afternoon ,just watching and listening to the birds. The welcome we received from Marina and Hans when we arrived was fantastic. They remained the most friendly, attentive and helpful hosts throughout our short stay. We would love to return for a longer stay in the future.

This was a home away from home. What a perfect getaway! The cottage is in a quiet street, just a block from the Main Road…a beautifully kept garden with a vineyard, olive trees, fruit trees, huge lawns and a pond. It really is very special. Marina and Hans made us feel so welcome. Everything one needs is in the well appointed cottage - comfortable bed, lovely linen. This was really one of the nicest places we have ever stayed - our 4 days flew by and we hope we can return again soon.

South AfricaVergeet My Niet is in a league of its own and sets the barr high for self-catering accommodation. Perfectly located in the village and an easy walk to any of the many village shops and eateries. The property is set in a lush garden, rolling lawns and then surrounded by orchids and a vineyard. The pool is perfect, great depth and large enough to swim laps. There is the bonus of an outdoor shower, perfect for night time showers whilst gazing at the incredible night skies. The cottage is perfectly decorated to reflect country living but to also include all modern critter comforts: aircon, ceiling fan/s, even luxury scented candles and beautiful coffee table books. The cottage and garden perfectly capture indoor/outdoor living with the added touch of hammocks hanging in the orchids. Marina and Hans are hosts extraordinaire who made our stay exceptional. Vergeet My Niet, Forget me not - Never ... Memories forever with a definite plan to return ...

The cottage and the property are just beautiful , and within easy walking distance to restaurants etc. So spacious with a huge private garden surrounded by olive and fruit trees - and even an additional outdoor shower, which my husband very much enjoyed using after his early morning run!

We heard about Vergeet-My-Niet quite by chance when having a meal at the Rude Chef and the couple alongside us were staying the night there. They raved about. We were able to make a 4 night booking for first week of March Marina and Hans are incredible hosts. Nothing is too much trouble even asking if we wanted the car washed. The property itself is very picturesque with beautiful gardens, an olive grove, lovey trees and grassed areas all very well maintained. The accommodation itself is awesome. Shower and bath all new, taps all new, very comfortable bed and kitchen and sitting areas just what you need. Spent a lot of time just sitting out on the veranda watching the wagtails etc. We will be back.

Charming house in a lovely location. Close to the centre of town, but feels like you are in the country. The house is very spacious, but, thanks to the lovely weather, we spent a lot of time outdoors. The property is set in a smallholding growing olives and grapes. Marina and Hans look after the farm and were amazing hosts to us. One example. We decided to go to the weekly farmers market to buy some of the delicious local figs. When we got there, there was none left. Hans caught up with us at the entrance and told us that as they were there earlier and saw the figs being sold up they had bought us a box! Lovely sitting on the stoop and watching the wildlife, including a resident tortoise.

Exceptional. This is the most exquisite property, the cottage is fabulous and beautifully appointed. The hosts, Hans and Marina are wonderful and couldn’t do more to make us feel welcome and comfortable. If 10 stars were possible, that’s what we’d give them. We booked for 2 nights and stayed for 6 and even that was too short. Thank you for everything. x

United KingdomNothing. It was perfect.
Marina and Hans were really lovely, friendly and helpful. We've stayed in some great places in South Africa but this is our favourite. The cottage has been recently renovated and has been done beautifully and to a really high standard. The bed, linen, furniture, bathoom was all perfect. Great shower! The cottage was very peaceful and private and the stoep looked over beautifully maintained gardens. It was a lovely place to just "be". Marina and Hans couldn't have been more welcoming. From local dining recommendations, being encouraged to use the pool, explore the grounds, provision of a braai they were great. They even had our car washed before we left :-) The location is ideal - one road back, about 100m, from the main street so it's quiet but easy to get to the restaurants etc. It's also nice and safe, even at night. Rachel went running each morning too.
