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...).

ThailandThis is one of the best places I have ever stayed at; not only in Franschhoek, but of all the places I have ever stayed at before. It is very spacious, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. The farm and surroundings are gorgeous and peaceful, and the location to the town center is perfect. One could stay here in the winter or the summer, due to the indoor fireplace, hot tub and outdoor braai area. I love that it is also very private. Our host was extremely attentive; responding immediately whenever we asked her something. She was very friendly, helpful, and it was clear that she wanted us to enjoy our stay. We will now be staying here every time that we are in Franschhoek!

South AfricaI'm so happy we didn't have anyone staying above us. The first day we heard people move above us ,it was very noticeable.
The zebras and springbuck roaming around were so entertaining and a lovely surprise. The views and garden at the back of the house were so lovely. The underfloor heating and wall heater added to making it a cozy stay. Old brown sherry to welcome us.

South AfricaMaybe a bigger bin in the kitchen, otherwise do not change a thing. Absolutely loved it.
Location was beautiful, very tranquil & amazing views of the Mountain. The Cottage was really well equipped & cosy. The staff were extremely helpful & friendly. We will definitely be back to stay; due to the bad weather we could not really explore the place. We would love to come back in the Summer.

South AfricaThere is no DSTv, and the wifi is a bit spotty in the storms. You can watch Netflix through the accommodation's account but need to stream your own DSTv. It felt like the unit needed another bathroom based on it's size, but that was not an issue for us as we were only 2 people in a 4 sleeper cottage.
Well kitted-out kitchen. Very comfy beds. Lovely to have a fireplace in the lounge. Springbokkies and Zebra roam the farm :D

Very nice location just outside Franschhoek; located on a working farm - with Zebra's in your own backyard. The accommodation was spacious, fully equiped with all cooking needs, and amazing views on sunset from your garden. Safe location, 2 gates to enter property.

United KingdomThe property is quite a distance (5 kms) from the centre of Franschhoek which could be a problem if dining (and drinking) at restaurants in town in the evening. This was not an issue for a short stay but could be during an extended stay.
The views from the property are fantastic. The property is very, very spacious and scrupulously clean and is obviously run to a very high standard. It is also well equipped for self catering. We also enjoyed sitting outside watching the family of chickens pecking around the garden.
