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.).

South AfricaMain issue we had was with water - not clean (left silt in the shower) and pressure so low it was difficult to shower. Toilet cistern took ages to fill up which was frustrating because it required two flushes. Altough listed as B & B here was no breakfast available which was okay but then at least have a fridge in the room.
Room was clean and recently renovated. Beautiful location with lawns down to the Mooi river. Very pleasant.

South AfricaThe lock on our unit's sliding-door l was broken which meant we had to sleep with an unlocked door and leave our property in an unlocked unit during the day. A safety concern given that Waterford Manor is in a farming environment. The showerhead is no good and need to be replaced or properly cleaned to provide decent water flow.
The unit is big, clean and a good bed Parking right next to the unit is a bonus. We arrived late but Dan (the manager) waited for us. which we appreciated. We used the facility over the Midmar Mile weekend and being only 30km's from the dam made it a useful stay at a fair price for this purpose.

South AfricaThere was no hot water in the morning when we wanted to bath. We were taken to another unit, and the water was also cold. The manager did call a plumber who had to change the geysers but by then we had left. The issue was attended to promptly but didn't make for a wonderful stay unfortunately.
Quaint country lodging with a comfortable room, good quality linens, small kitchenette with a fridge.

South AfricaThe below is just a guideline on what can be implemented or improved to further amplify the already good experience: The WiFi was extremely slow and I had difficulties connecting from our room - a lot of dead zones. I had to resort to using personal data - Vodacom and MTN had good coverage in the area though. The sliding door lock was broken in our room, but the owner was helpful in trying to sort it out. A few nitpicky issues: The TV is quite small and is very basic - no way to connect your phone or play Netflix. The shower head was slightly clogged and caused poor water flow coverage. The lack of air conditioning or even a fan made it uncomfortable in warmer weather. The kitchen only had two outlets, which made us constantly have to switch between the microwave, toaster, and kettle. There is only one braai stand for the entire manor by the pool area, which makes it a first come first serve basis. A dedicated braai stand outside each of the chalets would amplify the experience.
The facility was very clean and tidy. There was a daily complimentary cleaning service. Complimentary soap, shampoo, and lotions in the bathroom were included - including all the utensils and cutlery needed to cook and store food. The place has a gas stove, a microwave, and a fridge which is convenient. It has a small TV with DSTV included - which gave us a chance to watch movies during down-time. We broke a cup and the caretaker replaced it immediately. The bed has heated blankets. The venue is very peaceful. It has the Mooi river adjacent to the pool area - that also has a deck with a seating area and a braai stand overlooking the surrounding area. The owner/ caretaker did a fantastic job with our queries and issues.
