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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

South AfricaThere is WiFi if you wish, it is not reliable for anyone who really needs to get work done.
Perfectly situated... Amazing place to really switch off and reset. Perfect place to relax in the hot tub with a view, take a walk, enjoy a fire and just digitally detox. We will be back...

South AfricaBeing caught in a massive thunderstorm and flash-flood while out hiking (totally our own fault) but what we did love is being rescued by Marco :D
Everything! : The location - tucked away in the Klein Karoo, but still close to several key towns. Plenty of hiking and running options. The hosts: Vivian and Marco were absolutely great. The cottage: had everything we needed, and of course we loved the wood-fired hot tub. The farm: an unbelievably impressive sustainable initiative. Can't wait to go back!

Enjoy the off the beaten track position off the grid, self catering in warm, cosy and private units. The combination of fly fishing, hiking, Mtb and visit to Montegu ensures a fulfilled stay.

QatarIt was perfect!
Pure, sweet freedom. Nothing around you, nothing encumbering you, what seems like the entire world at your feet as nothing obstructs your view in any direction, and not a soul around to destroy the beautiful moment unfolding before you. The setting of the cottages was so naturally beautiful, it quieted my mind.

South AfricaThe only criticism is that it would have been nice to have a couch in the loungeroom, rather than individual chairs when sitting by the fire.
The location was spectacular. It was remote but that's what we were looking for. Such a beautiful part of the country, where we were able to just switch off, relax and just be at one with nature. The property was extremely clean and very well equipped. Satellite wifi was excellent, although with views like that you really don't want to be on your phone. Wonderful walks on the property and the hosts, Marco and Vivian were wonderful.

South AfricaThere were some insects, which is to be expected, but it was also quite warm so we wanted to sleep with windows open, but that let in a lot of bugs including a spider which bit my sister. Perhaps it would be good to incorporate flyscreens, to allow for proper ventilation and allowing us to use cottage to its maximum potential.
I really loved the setting and the views from every room. The colour scheme was on par and the beds so comfy. Thank you for making the cottage so accessible for people with disablility, even a shower seat!

South AfricaWell I would not say didn't like but I would have liked a more "loungy" lounge with a cough to lay down on as this setting is really relaxing. Also perhaps a lounger for outside to read ... Again not negatives just suggestions.
The setting is magical. When I say the sounds of nature is deafening in the most exquisite way. The facilities are well maintained and has everything. The views of the stars at night is great and the hikes are exceptional. WiFi works well to stay connected but I would recommend not to l, to enjoy this setting.

South AfricaA couple of the gas burners didn’t work on the stove and the compost toilet took awhile to get used to, but it was all workable and didn't take away from the experience.
The views were amazing and it was so wonderfully quiet and peaceful. We loved our stay. The place has everything you need, with nice touches of some milk in the fridge and kindling ready in the braai.
