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 AfricaMaybe the cutlery needs and upgrade perhaps, love the art deco plates etc. I think at some stage it will also be nice to have a nice comfy couch in the lounge area. But on sunny days this might not be an issue. When you want to watch movies all night on your ipad while it rains the whole weekend, it will come in handy! Can't wait to visit in December and relax in the plunge pool with a G&T!
The setting, the total peace and quietness. And Ashley is a lovely host with a lovely sense of humor! Quirky and electic decor is lovely. The fireplace inside makes it nice and cozy for rainy weekends.

NetherlandsThis is truly a hidden gem and we were so lucky not to miss it. When you’re in the cottage and in the grounds it truly feels like you’re in the bush, just with the added bonus that you have all of the cosiness and amenities of a very well curated cottage. The hosts are the most kind people & very helpful when needed and gave great advice about brilliant things we would have missed without their guidance. You will regret not choosing to stay here. In our two month trip around South Africa, this is definitely one of the best places we stayed.

South AfricaOur stay at Wolverfontein Karro Cottages rates as one of the BEST holidays we've had! The cottage was comfortably charming with a touch of electic, vintage style. Lovely warm blankets to ward off the winter chill. We all slept peacefully from the first night. 2 Weeks wasn't long enough! Andre and Ashley were generous hosts and went out of their way to assist us from travel ideas to washing our hire car! The first thing that struck us was the quiet! So quiet in fact that we could hear the beating wings of birds that flew past. And the sunrises and sunsets were beyond stunning. Our final night we were blessed with the most dazzling display of the Milky Way we could ever imagine. If you want peace and rest and home away from home comfort in majestic surroundings then this special place if for you!

South AfricaLoved everything about this place.
I was lucky enough to discover this hidden gem in the middle of the Klein Karoo. Lovely indoor fireplace for the chilly winter evenings. Quirky and unique design style with real attention to detail. Beautiful private game reserve next door. All of this at an affordable price. I was even able to make a couple of Zoom calls and remain in contact with my office via the satellite internet provided. I'll definitely be back in summer to enjoy the private swimming pool.

South AfricaMaybe invest in a few torches or lamps for load shedding instead of just candles (we brought our own, but everyone might not). Also, a lighter for the stove instead of matches and a hook for the dish towel would be nice :)
Beautiful location, attention to detail at the accommodation. Our little boy loved the sheep and climbing the koppie.
