Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 problem with the toilet. Something wrong with the septic tank. We could smell it when we arrived.. The restaurant was very quiet and the staff in the kitchen were very noisy.
We loved the very different and quirky little dung beetle cottages. Such fun.

South AfricaWhen I booked, I asked for dinner to be added and I thought it had when I received the invoice. I did think it a bit pricey to pay R1400 for bed and breakfast in such a tiny place, but otherwise, it was lovely.
Breakfast was hearty and delicious. Prompt serving, lovely view and great service. Dinner was also a decent portion and very tasty. Some quiet background music would be lovely.

South AfricaI would have liked breakfast and dinner to be served for a little longer so that we didn't have to get up so early. Our massage was booked from 9-10, so we had to have breakfast first, which didn't give much time to relax. Also when checking in, dinner was served from 7-8, so we didn't have much time to settle in before we had to go for dinner. Just a little flexibility in times would be great.
My husband is 6ft 4, so I was worried that the ceiling might be too low - it was spacious enough, which was great. The shower was a little tight though. Location was great, view was lovely and the food was excellent. It would have been a nice touch to add some soft music during dinner and breakfast. We tried the Spa as well, which was nice, although the lady is not professional, it was very relaxing.

United KingdomAlthough not really under the guest farm's control, the access road is gravel and in quite poor condition. Being a light sleeper, having generators going all night and farm vehicles working all night meant I did not have such a great night's rest, but my partner was unaffected.
Best way to describe the bush camps are "quirky" - romantic if you enjoy being in the bush and don't mind an outside toilet and shower under the stars! The facilities are part of a very large working citrus farm, so there is continuous 24x7 activity, which distracts slightly from the overall experience, but the views are lovely, the staff great and both the dinner (traditional South African fare - bobotie) and the breakfast were great. We used the facility as a base for exploring the Addo Elephant Park, situated just down the road.

South AfricaThe bats...kids had to come sleep in our chalet as there was a bat flying around in their room. We could also hear them the entire night crawling around in the roof. They have had exterminators in and they will be called in again. They are working on the problem. Also I would suggest filling the dam by lapa area and add some koi. Will be great for guests to sit and watch. Relaxing. And a protable braai for chalets to use if it is too expensive to build a braai at each chalet But over all an amazing setting and experience
Breakfast was lovely. Service great. Everyone so friendly and helpful. I want to go back soon for atleast 3 nights.

GermanyWe had a bush cabin which is located in a very dense bush and reached by small paths. Each cabin has its own outdoor toilet and shower and is located separate of the other ones. By that we enjoyed the discretion and the quietness. Also the breakfast and the dinner was very good and the Addo elephant park is nearby. In total we had a pleasant stay with lovely outdoor experiences.
