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 hot tub could be a bit more private/hidden from the other cottages. The patio was a bit dirty and there were no green lawns/grass around the cottage for us to enjoy our picnic basket.
Beautiful sunsets over the mountains. Great location in Tulbagh. Room was big and had everything you needed. We enjoyed the picnic basket!

United StatesHonestly, everything was absolutely perfect.
From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by this place and the hospitality. The owner Justin greeted us warmly with a handshake, checked us in, and personally gave us a detailed tour of our room and all its amenities. The room is spacious, extremely well-appointed, and very comfortable, with a gorgeous view. The grounds and surrounds are stunning, especially the beautifully serene pool area. Everything has been clearly well thought out -- an excellently managed place. We don't normally dine at our accommodations, but we made an exception here, and we were very glad we did -- the food was top notch. Breakfast was also really wonderful. I can't say enough good things about this place!

South AfricaThere's nothing we didn't like - perhaps a longer stay next time :)
Duikersdrift is absolutely stunning - the most incredible mountain views, as well as stargazing from your own personal hot tub! The rooms are spacious with fantastic amenities, such as homemade rusks for early morning coffee views, daily cleans and the option of a bath or shower. The breakfasts are delicious with a farm-to-table ethos, making sure to add a personal touch of love to every bite. What really sets Duikersdrift apart are the thoughtful hosts Kim and Justin, who go above and beyond to ensure that you're having a comfortable stay. It was my partner's birthday, and we were spoiled with complimentary bubbles and a bottle of wine! Thank you for a lovely stay - we shall definitely be back!

United KingdomWe had a slight discrepancy with our bill but was resolved quickly. Otherwise very happy.
A small farm stay in beautiful surroundings with good eco credentials. Due to the lakes surrounding the property the bird life is exceptional. The staff were helpful and friendly making our stay very relaxing and we really enjoyed the log fired plunge pool. There is a good cafe with a limited menu but food well cooked and beautifully presented. The rooms are modern and yet cosy. A great place to arrive from Cape Town 90 minutes away and chill. Tulbagh is also worth a visit.

South AfricaI loved everything. Some minor suggestions would be to redo the ordering sheet as it was a bit confusing. The food is outstanding, but attentiveness of waiters could be worked on, very minorly though!
The food is absolutely exceptional! The environment and amenities provided are so nice, it's the perfect place for a wintery getaway!

South AfricaThe entrance road of the farm was a big muddy mess after the storms. we were not warned of such, but very happy we did drive with our SUV vehicle. if we used our smaller car, we would have asked for a refund as I would not take my small car through such mud and probably get stuck. Unfortunately our toilet also got blocked due to the drain system flooded after the rains. it was a bit of an embarrassing situation. But all were very helpful to sort out the plumbing.
View, Peace, tranquility, the room unit is beautiful, spacious and very well equipped. the Breakfast was amazing, too much to eat. The restaurant has an amazing array of food and very tasty. the staff is very helpful and friendly. lots of firewood for the fireplace to keep the room cosy.

South AfricaThe breakfast service could be better. I don't particularly like having to decide on breakfast options the day before, and I do feel the preparation took longer than necessary... we were the first to arrive in the restaurant - out of 3 tables - and were the last to receive our breakfast - except for the kiddies flapjack portion which came quite quickly. It's also a pity to see the restaurant's vegetable and herb patch so neglected. :-(
The location was idea with only a short drive from Tulbagh town, and the view of the mountains was exceptional. The pool is also really great. The room had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable.
