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 AfricaMaintenance took very long to come fix a outside light that we needed by the braai area. We called them on Friday and they only came to fix it on Saturday. The lighting in the property is very dim and we struggled to see when playing pool at night.
Being out in nature was an amazing experience, the villa really met our expectations and more. We will definitely be back.

South AfricaThere is quite a bit of maintenance required at this property. To name a few : The bar fridge upstairs wasn’t working at all on arrival. We were promised a replacement but that didn’t arrive. The electricity in the one cottage kept tripping. It was only fixed properly on day 3 of our stay. The other cottage’s toilet had a faulty flush. The main en suite had a broken blind (no string to tie the blind up)so the bathroom was very dark. The kitchen drawer handles were loose. The light in the extractor fan over the stove wasn’t working.
A very spacious house with a lovely upstairs entertainment area. Nicholas and his colleagues at the reception were friendly and helpful.

South AfricaFood - very poor 3 restaurants - one menu Extremely high meal prices for very basic meals
The place was well kept. The cottage we stayed had some snags which despite informing management nothing was done. The website noted 3 restaurants but the same menu is served at all the restaurants at the clubhouse. The food was extremely poor for the price. Restaurants kitchen closed at 9pm. The activities also very limited - no putt putt ,pool table. Definitely to be reviewed for potential guests

South AfricaThe house had a lot of issues. Wifi wasn't working (there is no cell reception by the way), TV stopped working, lights etc. Staff was coming in and out to fix this and that which was frustrating. The deck, esp next to the pool, needs serious attention - tiles come off when you walk. After sales service was the worst, took almost a month to get back damage deposit. No communications whatsoever from the office- I am very disappointed.
The house was big enough for a big family, enough rooms and very neat. The location was excellent. Saw some animals by the house too. A big shout out to Jerry who cleaned our house on Xmas day.

United KingdomThere were a few minor repairs needed whilst on site and the Wifi signal could be a bit stronger throughout the entire house, but really minor things compared to the value. The Market/Shop could do with a bit of an upgrade... they didn't have much stock of anything.

South AfricaThe reception and direction given to us by the gate sent us on a wide goose chase to the wrong location. And then we eventually got assistance from one of the guys who was checking/cleaning a property and showed us how to get to reception. I advise you to give the guys at the gate, the map at reception as that has a clearer layout of the road and where to go. Then the second thing that didn't make our stay so great was the water issue, we were unaware from leaving reception that there would be issues, we didn't have water the day we arrived and in the morning, with no communication and we had to call in to have someone come out and sort it out, that was very unpleasant. Guests who don't come with cars have no provision to move around beyond the shuttle. I would advise you to let people rent out the golf carts for weekends etc and not just for golfing, to allow people to see more of the beautiful property and that would allow for the to want to do more activities.
Breakfast was amazing and everything was fresh, from the bread/muffins and the omelets made by the chef were delicious. Just ensure that your waitresses take a bit of time to confirm what is ordered in terms of drinks as we did have the wrong thing brought to us and someone came with the waitress and also said the wrong thing, which wasn't what was ordered. We kept it, but in the future, they may come across someone who won't be willing to let it be. I would love to praise the waiter who served us when we went for dinner down by Waterberg at Syringa. I have forgotten the gentleman's name, but he was so sweet and amazing. He made us feel special at our dinner, giving us attention and going out of his way to make a plan when things were not satisfactory, he made sure we didn't leave unhappy.

South AfricaI booked the property, believing that all 8 bedrooms were under one roof. The booking.com description is wrong and misleading. False advertising. When we got there, we found that there were 4 bedrooms in the main house and 4 bedrooms in the cottage. This didn't work for us as we did not want to leave some kids sleeping on their own while the adults continued the evening. I had Luna Rossa booked, and when I found out that Luna Rossa was unable to accommodate all of us under one roof, I canceled the booking. Had I known that the property that I stayed at was unable to accommodate all of us under one roof, I would have found alternate accommodation. I have also not yet received my deposit back.
Beautiful house. Well equipped.
