Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 AfricaWater in one chalet not hot also electricity was off on the Sunday morning - no warning/ communication... maybe add solar? so that does not become an issue? Perfect stay except for that ...
Beautiful setting - both inside and out Beautiful chalets - beautifully decorated Special touch with the farm eggs and bread and butter - so special

AustraliaThe blinds on the bathroom windows are see through at night (not black out blinds). The double beds - the base stuck out beyond the mattress which resulted in a number of legs getting bumped and scratched.
Location was stunning. Layout was good for socialising and outside fires with a lovely view. Nice little touches like fresh bread and eggs. Pillows and bed very comfy, staff helpful and friendly.

South AfricaIt was a little “un” private, as the units are adjoined, but we were warned upfront which we are grateful for.
It was modern & well equipped, with thoughtful touches (like bread & eggs & lemons). The facilities & surroundings are lovely

South AfricaBeautiful farm style accommodation. Lovely for relaxing and switching off, especially coming from the city (Dubai). It was exactly what we needed. We do wish we would have been given a bit more of a heads up about there not being restaurants very close by and needing to bring our own food - it would have been ideal and we wished we did as the facilities are perfect for it! We assumed we’d be able to get in and out of the farm very easily or that there would be a communal dining area / restaurant. With the small river crossing and relying on uber for transport, it required some planning around food / meals. It wasn’t an issue overall. We spent the day in Stellenbosch where we had our meals and also enjoyed the Boschendal Friday night market. We loved our stay!

United KingdomThese are not negatives as such, just things to note. The directions could be better - the gate to the farm is marked with a sign for The Farmstead and Google/ Apple Maps will take you there. However, when you do follow the road in, there is small river to cross - the path underneath is slightly raised and it's not deep, so we easily made it over in a small car, but it's something to be aware of. It was quite an adventure!
The most beautful place and setting - the surrounding scenery is absolutely stunning, as is the accommodation itself. Beautiful touches such as a loaf of bread and eggs waiting for you on arrival, and I absolutely loved the outdoor shower and bath. So relaxing and peaceful, I just wish I could have stayed longer!

NetherlandsAlthough there is a shared pool, there wasn’t much contact between the people staying at the Farmstead. We missed some kind of farm store, where you can buy bread and stuff, since the location is not close to a town.
It was a great property, everything we needed was there!

South AfricaThe hotwater is great but inconsistent.
Set on a farm a little out of town this was an incredible place to recharge over Christmas. Staff were incredibly attentive. Great swimming pool to cool off in and easy access to town (+- 15kms away). The layout, decor and general feel is very farm like with nothing out of place. Loungers, fireplaces, hammock, candals and latterns. Beautilful gardens/fields to go for a walk. Increible coffee and linen stood out for us.
