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 AfricaThere isn't anything specific that was disliked, but perhaps a suggestion is to add fencing to the cottages for a small yard.
The cottage was cozy, the host was available if needed, Tonteldoos isn't too far away, the serenity of the mountains is incomparable, and it is pet friendly.

South AfricaThe cottage was very cozy. Being surrounded by lovely landscape with hiking trails and fising dams. It is a great spot to relax and unwind. Definitely worth the extra dirt road drive to get away from busy dillstroom.

South AfricaIt would have been nice if there had been spare blankets. The cottage was surprisingly warm and the fireplace really warmed it up nicely too, but when it got cold it would have been great if we could have had an extra blanket or two.
The location was fantastic and the accommodation was comfortable. The wifi was very strong too which was surprising. It was also nice that there was solar so that we did not have to deal with loadshedding.

South AfricaThere is nothing I can complain about, but if I had to suggest any improvement it would be the visibility of the signs on the walks as they have faded.
We loved the walks with our dogs and the quiet and remoteness of the location.

South AfricaAngela was the most accommodating host- we had forgotten our coffee and sugar for the next morning and Angela was happy to supply us some even at 7pm at night. Our little house was more than what we expected and absolutely beautiful. We were warned about the dirt roads - definitely needed a 4 x 4 but our little cars made it and it was so worth it. My furbabies were so happy, calm and intrigued by the beautiful surrounds. We will definitely be back (in a bigger and better car) for more exciting adventure trails and walks.

Woolley Bugger Farm is beautifully situated 22km of off road driving (20-30 mins) out of Dullstroom through lovely landscape. On arrival we had a nice, detached house with wonderful views across the fishing ponds (they hire rods to). Great marked walks around their land and marvellous selection of plants and wildlife. The house had all we needed from kitchen to bathroom and a covered porch with BBQ. There’s amazingly even two local places to eat.

South AfricaThe roads to this secluded spot is unfortunately in a poor state, I believe damaged from recent heavy rains. It requires a high clearance vehicle and patience. But even this did not spoil the wonderful experience one bit.
The natural beauty of the area is exceptional. Both the geology and vegetation is unique and in its natural unspoiled state. It’s is well worth a visit for any nature lover. Add to that peace and quit, comfortable clean facilities and it makes for the perfect getaway.

South AfricaThe only issue really which is out of the control of the farm itself if the dirt road. It is extreme, we have a high clearance vehicle and still this 20km road took us over 90minutes to get through so it made a two hour trip unnecessarily longer. Grading of the road is so needed.
What an absolutely incredible place! We stayed in Ginger Quill and we absolutely adored the stand alone unit which had privacy & views that were out of this world. There is no fencing around the unit but the long grass that creates a border around the property was helpful to keep our three fur children around the unit. The unit is spacious & has all that you would ever need. Bed is super comfortable and the fire place is such a wonderful addition to the coziness of this gem.

South AfricaThe mine, during the week, distracts in a very small way from the amazing location and nature. It is of no fault of the venue and you can still enjoy the rest of the lovely nature. The road into Tonteldoos can also be rough in places so a high clearance vehicle is essential for your visit.
Excellent place for a peaceful break-away. The surroundings are beautiful and the nature trails are great. The accommodation is comfortable and well equipped. All in all a brilliant place to visit.

South AfricaThey don't service the Chalet at all - Covid being the excuse. This is fine for a weekend but we stayed for 7 days and it became very uncomfortable. This is a very dry dusty environment. Same towels for 7 days - no handy Andy - just have to try and clean floor with a silly broom and sunlight and own rags. I thought this was ridiculous. I'm also not sure when the dams were last stocked. There are fish but certainly not in abundance.
Lovely location, dams, brilliant hikes, mountain biking opportunity. From a stay point of view this was a great location and it really is ideal to get away. My husband loves fishing and spent a large portion of time fishing at the dam. We hiked extensively and travelled on mountain bikes. We would go there again for a weekend only.
