Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

South AfricaEnjoyed it all. Beautiful place and lovely friendly people.
Loved the venue, the horses roaming around - very tranquil spot away from the town in the mountains. Room was beautiful - was surprised that it was quite quaint at first but everything you need is there including the little kitchen in the cupboard (loved this!). The tea, coffee, milk and fruit provided was a great touch. My only recommendation is for a fire place in the room and maybe a fire braai outside on the small patio - even though the grill is great a fire is always appreciated esp. in winter. The hot tub once they get going is brilliant. Great that the farm provides the wood and helps you get the tub started.

SingaporeWe took a standalone bungalow with a hot tub. It was very private with views on both front and back of unit. Wood was provided for heater and hot tub. Well thought out unit, with all the modern amenities one will need.

South AfricaWe had a fire place in our room but could not get the wood to burn. I think they should also have a heater in the room as you can’t keep a fire going all night and it was very cold.

South AfricaPrevailing weather unfortunately took the edge off the hot tub and the outside bath as the heat just dissipated too quickly. A roll away plastic cover for the hot tub would go a long way to getting to temperature and retaining the heat until in use, will also cut down on the amount of wood used up! For Saffers expecting to braai, you really need to point out that the braai facility is gas barbecue and not an open fire.
Beautiful setting, all very clean and neat, the peace and quiet and solitude was amazing. Outside shower was lovely.

Amazing view from the bed of the bungalow and the hot tub next to it. Private location being surrounded by horses. The location is perfect to visit the surrounding wine farms.

South AfricaThere is no braai place or fire place. The hot tub takes to long to heat up and would prefer a service to start the fire while we were out so the water could be hot by the time when we got back from site seeing. We had no water the following morning / burst pipe . The water in shower to slow .Shower drain was blocked. No working space in kitchen.
Hot tub ; beautiful scenery, room was luxurious and had everything that we need , the tranquility and peacefulness
