Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomIt was a very interesting building with a lovely feel. Parking was within the grounds and secure. The room was light and airy. There was a lounge open to all with tea and coffee as well as an honesty bar. The garden and pool were pretty. I liked being able to have breakfast outside, looking over the garden.

Everything. Fiona & all the staff were totally exceptional - nothing was too much trouble. Gorgeous spacious house in a quiet area but still close to town. Great attention to detail everywhere. Very big room with a super comfy bed & the quietest air con ever! Ample parking. The most tasty breakfast cooked to order. Complimentary tea & Nespresso coffee in the communal area.

Breakfast very good. Preferred being served a choice rather than the food being left out for self service. Room spacious and clean. Plenty of space for car parking and gardens well kept

United States of AmericaWould have liked a choice of bread for breakfast, the large slice I got forced me to eat more bread than I would normally like and could not countenance the waste of having my leftover bread just being thrown away.

Summerwood House and Stellenbosch area were both a highlight of our trip to SA. We loved its relaxed yet stylish vibe and Fiona was an incredibly friendly and helpful host - nothing was too much trouble including getting me shoe glue and safety pins to correct a few wardrobe malfunctions 😂 The breakfasts were to die for and our daughters loved the pool and the bunnies. I’d recommend to anyone without a second’s hesitation

BelgiumFiona was very supportive from the moment I entered the gates till it was time to say goodbye. Location is perfect to rewind and on walking distance to the center of Stellenbosch and the best steak restaurant in the neighbourhood. The location is perfect to explore the wine estates with, again, perfect tips from Fiona. The swimming pool is a nice place to recharge batteries and breakfast was just lovely.

CanadaIt’s a bit of a walk to town, but a pleasant walk and Uber is so cheap in South Africa you just call a cab if you’re too tired to walk back!
Summerwood is lovely! We’d stay again in a heartbeat! The lovely Irish manager Fiona upgraded us to a ground floor room with a shady patio - perfect! The pool looked very tempting, but in September it’s not yet warm enough! The house is beautiful, the garden too, and the breakfast really exceeded expectations!

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
The Summerwood location is ideal to walk into Stellenbosch. The garden & pool were a welcome break after the heat of the day. The room & all communal areas, like the lounge, were really good. The staff were very friendly & helpful, Fiona the owner in particular. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The star of the show has to be breakfast. The granola is fantastic & the various options of eggs, bacon, sourdough, avocado etc. were fully researched on our visit. 10/10 every time!!
