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...).

South AfricaWe had a very pleasant stay in our "Glamping" Tented Treehouse. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and it was so nice to have a peaceful stay. The treetop views from the wooden deck was beautiful. We could relax and have a good rest. It was fun taking part in the feeding of the farm animals and to see the daily procedures of this working farm. The home-made ice-cream were so creamy and really delicious! We also enjoyed part of the farm hiking trail down to the small dam. Marcelle and Mia are very friendly hosts and we appreciate their hospitality. We will definately recommend Fernhill to fellow visitors. Greetings Elmarie & Johann

South AfricaLeaving!!!!
Where to begin!? The amazing, friendly staff, Marcelle and Mia; the comfortable accommodation; the peace and quiet of a tented treehouse to reconnect with nature; the spa bath by candlelight while listening to soft rain pattering on the tent roof... I really had the most memorable stay at Fernhill and truly regret I did not book for more than one night. The farm walk is great for stretching the legs. And being able to meet the farm animals was exciting, particularly milking a cow for the first time since 19-voetsek! Also do yourself a GIANT favour and don't leave here before trying some of the delicious Fernhill foodie goodies, like the locally-made ice cream which is ohhhhh soooo gooooooood and creamy. The roasted macadamia nuts also had me going back for more. The Reenendal road leading to Fernill from the N2 has been recently tarred and is in great condition. Only the last kilometer or two to the farm is a dirt track in a fair condition, passable by any vehicle. Ten out of ten, I honestly can't wait to go back and stay for longer.

South AfricaOverall, I have no complaints. The water temperature of the shower varied a lot between hot and cold, but the host made us aware of that from the start.
The stillness away from the madness of city life, waking up to all sorts of bird songs in a big, comfortable bed, being so close to nature, and having the opportunity to interact with the farm animals. On top of that, the hosts were friendly and made us feel welcome.

The location is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in winter and we were quite surprised at how comfortably warm the tent was. The bed is also very comfortable especially with the electric blanket in the winter. The spa bath with a view was lovely. It is the perfect place to escape the busy city life for a while and just relax. If you want to get away and just relax you can stay on the farm comfortably for a few days without leaving. However, if you would like to explore and do some more activities there is a lot to do in nearby areas. Thank you for the brownies, it was delicious.

We loved being surrounded by nature, getting away from our busy lives at work just being at peace in what felt to be the middle of nowhere. Our tent was amazing with the most beautiful views and of course not to forget our little for legged visitors every now and again.

South AfricaThe water for bathing was not very clean, but the owner warned us about this, and they are going to change the filter. Also, first days of our stay the weather wasn't good, and this was the worst thing there. So we are going to check the forecast before the next visit and stay for a longer time.
The service was perfect. When a very strong wind blows away part of the tent, it was fixed immediately. the owners provide us with a lot of nice farmers' food. This is a very nice and quiet place.

South AfricaOnly the power cables disturbed the view.
The view from the tree tent was brilliant. Only the power cables disturbed the view unfortunately. However, we were warmly received at the property when we arrived, the room was neat and clean, with a little "something" on the bed for us. The farm life was alos really good. We had the opportunity to milk one of the cows, there was fresh, real milk available, and they sell real ice cream. My family enjoyed the farm animals and the beautiful cat. The bathroom with the large window was a real treat, and we could watch the fire from the bath.
