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.).

United KingdomThere is a flight of wooden steps that you have to negotiate with your luggage from the parking area down to the property
This stunning property is located in the most beautiful countryside on a fruit and wine farm. The accommodation is very well equipped and quite luxurious. The views are breathtaking and the peacefulness so relaxing. We loved all the outside areas with the varied views around the property throughout the day and night - no light pollution meant the starry nights were stunning. The host made us feel very welcome

GermanyEverything was perfect
Everything here was exceptional! Very clean, full equipped, amazing views of farm and stars in absolute silence. We've been travelling for 7 weeks through South Africa and this was by far our favourite accommodation! Wendy made sure that every question we asked was answered real quick and helped where she could. PS: no loadshedding :)

CanadaThis has to be THE BEST accommodation of the hundreds of STR’s we’ve visited. The house is beautiful, the views are incredible and everything is catered to, to the minutest detail. Photos do not do it justice. The hosts are amazing and so welcoming and warm. Thanks Wendy and Tiaan, we’ll see you soon!

South AfricaWow...! No review or picture could justify how beautiful and amazing Ontevreden Farm accomodation is. It is absolutely breathtaking, it is more than amazing! This is the place you dream of when you feel that you need to escape reality. The cottage, the wood fired hot tub, the rooms, the farm, the service, the kitchen, the entire setting... are all nothing short of amazing. A huge thank you to the hosts Tiaan and Wendy who ensures that you are more than okay. They also do a fantastic job to ensure that your arrival and stay is smooth and pleasant. While typing the review I feel that even words such as beautiful and amazing may seem like an understatement. There are so many thoughts and words left unsaid. Ontevreden farm accomodation is a heaven on earth! You have to experience it yourself...

South AfricaAbsolutely everything was amazing, Our hosts Wendy and Tiaan are the most thoughtful people. After booking there was constant communication from them as well as during our stay. The freshly made pancakes we received were the perfect touch, so unexpected and the most thoughtful little surprise on our first morning. We will definitely be back We felt so at home and were sad to leave. Thank you for making our little getaway so special ❤️

South AfricaWhile the property is self catering it would be nice to have some basic toiletries in the bathroom, like hand soap, shower gel and maybe even bubble bath for the room with the bathtub.
The house is fantastic - really spacious and comfortable and the views are great. We also really enjoyed the wood fired hot tub. The hosts were really friendly and helpful.

South AfricaIn really hot weather, lack of fans/aircon, although at the price for the stay, you cannot really expect a/c included!
Very nice setting with beautiful views over vineyards and mountains, lovely spacious with great deck. Nice walks around all the orchards and vineyards, and up to foothills of the mountain. Generator automatically kicks in whenever there is loadshedding! All is very new!!

South AfricaThere was nothing not to like!
This property really exceeded our expectations! we just had to book another night to further enjoy it, and we are most definitely returning for another stay. Although the photos are great to describe the property, they don’t do justice to just how beautiful it really is. Spacious, comfortable, modern yet classic, breathtaking views.. but also the highest quality within. I haven’t slept so good in years, maybe the fresh air, but definitely the comfort. The best part.. the absolute most stunning views of vineyards and mountains surrounds the whole property, with an abundance of outside comfortable space to take it in. We were met with the warmest welcome from the farm Manager, he was friendly and easy to talk to and really accommodating. Living in the UK for 19 years, security always comes to mind when returning to South Africa. We felt completely safe our entire stay, this is an electric gated farm with the main farm house near by which made us feel at ease yet still private. There is also security doing its rounds throughout the night for ease of confront. There truly wasn’t a single thing we didn’t like or did not enjoy about this property or our stay. With lots of traveling, I’ve stayed in many properties, this one really sits right at the top. We cant wait to return and make more memories here!
