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 AfricaPlease put a side light in the lounge, the fluorescent light is too bright. A shower connection in the bath would also be great.
This is the second time we have been to Vlakkieskraal. The pool is a welcome addition. We went with our dogs who enjoyed the walks on the farm.

South AfricaThe host was a bit rude, not welcoming at all. She didn't even check up on us if we ok or indeed of anything. She does not have a friendly tone. When we were about to leave we informed her that we still waiting for our transport she could not wait for us to leave as she kept on asking us what time are we leaving and how far was the transport. She did not even ask us how did we settle even when leaving, she did not even want to know how we felt Abt the whole stay, she made us feel unwanted as we had to request for tissue through WhatsApp and stay with our filled bins with no one to assist. The pool is so small and the braai area is not tented as when it rains u can have it outside, the wifi is there but with no internet. Pots were only two small ones and we were six.
The place it self it's beautiful. The house is on point and the owner son is so helpful.

South AfricaWe had no regrets. The facilities and staff provided us with an experience that exceeded our expectations. We simply suggest the inclusion of a washing machine for the convenience of guests staying a week or longer than that.
I spent 11 nights at Vlaakieskraal Bush House (23 Dec 2022 - 3 Jan 2023) with my wife and 2 sons. We had an amazing experience at the property. Roelien, Renier and Christian, as well as the rest of their family and staff made us feel welcome. The hosts paid us particular attention and communicated exceptionally well. We enjoyed the guided tour of the farm, including the interaction with the donkeys and goats (feeding them apples and Marula fruits, respectively), the outdoor shower, the Smart TV, the pool, the sighting of animals from the comfort of the living area, and the conversations with Roelien, Renier and Christian. We went back to Johannesburg recharged! We will definitely return. We strongly recommend this property to fellow travellers. Roelien, Renier and Christian are definitely the epitomes of super-hosts.

Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Extremely impressed with how well and thoughtful the decor and facilities were. It was a sublime pleasure to interact with the goats, donkeys and dogs. I got to bottle feed the 2 week old goat kids which was an incredible highlight. Loadshedding was a pain but we enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of our hosts Renier and Rolien.
