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...).

SwitzerlandEverything great!
Great place to stay in Oudtshoorn - all you need (and more) to feel comfortable in a very nice house with a warm welcome, a cosy pool & garden area, good breakfast and individual advice for your trips. Gerry is the perfect host. He has a lot of excellent recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the region; not only around Oudtshoorn but he also took the time to explain some of his favorite spots on our onward journey. We will come back next time - thank you Gerry - your recommendations all worked out perfectly well and we could profit a lot from your tips & hints!

NetherlandsDuring the annual theatre festival it can get noisy (at night) since the festival hub is very close (which is also a big plus!). With earplugs we slept good. This is only ones a year, otherwise very quiet place.
Our stay at the Gumtree House was excellent. Gerry is such a great host, we loved to talk with him about the life in South Africa. He also called two restaurants for us that normally would not take reservations during the theatre festival Breakfast is superb and the room was comfortable and has everything you need. The pool was very refreshing cause the Karoo can get hot. Absolutely recommended! Thanks Gerry, hope to visit again.

South AfricaOur room was very comfortable with a lovely outlook that felt quite rural, even though the town was literally on our doorstep. The best thing about Gumtree was our outstanding host, Gerry. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He is a walking encyclopaedia on Oudtshoorn, its restaurants and the attractions of the entire Karoo area. He went the extra mile to make sure we missed nothing!

The host contacted us en route with directions and advice for timings etc I et the Swartberg Pass. He was most particular and attentive. The place is lovely, well maintained, clean and thoughtfully furnished. We wished we could have stayed longer. The pool is small but clean and with a big deck surround so very functional, sunny and a nice relaxing touch after a long drive.

Gerry is an absolutely friendly host. He gave us tips for local activities and provided us with the best advice for our further journey. With a lot of commitment he brought the accommodation including the pool and garden back into shape. The new solar system supplies all major consumption points, even during load shedding. Also Gerry offers a great Breakfast and there is a small bar which serves you during the day.
