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...).

NetherlandsI travelled with my 21 year old daughter. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome, relaxed and well-informed. The room was perfect and offered everything we needed; airco, generator back up, wifi and tea facilities in the room and the terrace outside overlooking the vineyards. The bed and linnen were wonderful so we slept really well (twin bed). We especially loved the location between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch and around the corner from all the great wineries and the honesty bar. It is so nice to be able to pour yourself a drink by the pool. But best of all was the personal touch and the very warm welcome by Ezna. This was by far our best stay during this holiday

United KingdomThe lady on reception who also served breakfast was exceptional. She couldn’t have been more helpful: we needed to extend our stay at short notice due to flight cancellations, and we loved it here so much we wanted to stay an extra night. Not only did she help sort this with no stress, we kept the same room, she helped us contact the car hire company & we had a delightful extra day by the gorgeous pool. Also loved the honesty bar which worked really well. A beautiful property

Austriasmall minus - very close to the street so can be loud, also at night.
The farmhouse turned guesthouse is really lovely for a couple of day's stay. Beautiful view into the vinyards and a lovely pool area to relax by. The guesthouse is just 10 mins drive to Franschhoek town and all the neighbouring wine estates. Communication was super easy, also via WhatsApp, with recommendations for activities, dinners and wine tastings.

CanadaThere is literally nothing wrong with this place or location.
Breakfast included, in a beautiful surrounding with a small river. Absolutely a beautiful view of the vineyard as well when you exit your lodge room. Fantastic pool. But the STAFF, especially EZNA, is beyond helpful and the most wonderful person. The support they provide is above and beyond. Highly recommended. Only 5km away from the Wine Tram, 8 km away from Franschhoek area as well. Please go, you will not regret it.

GermanyGreat pool area with a view and drink variety with some snacks. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. When we failed to book a picnic at one of the wineries in advance, they phoned other wineries until we got a picnic basket on short notice and even drove us to the city center when our uber did not show up. Thank you again, Bridget!

TanzaniaEzna and Bridgit were amazing hosts! They were easy to communicate with, offered to assist with restaurant bookings, super friendly and welcoming. Ezna went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable as a single traveler, making sure I had taxi numbers etc. The honest bar is a nice touch. The views of the mountain and the vastness of the farm is beautiful. The bed super comfy and cozy. I really enjoyed the breakfast. The lodge is just off the main road so for those wanting easy access to the road and have cars to venture out its great!

SwitzerlandThe place is stunning, the staff is more than friendly. From the first second upon our arrival, we felt like in a little paradise! The host (Trevor) was more than lovely and carrying to us. He is full of joy and passion for hosting. Furthermore, the rooms are nicer, bigger and cozier than it might appear on the picture. The breakfast is the cherry on the cake! Upon our next trip in SA, it will be the first and only place we would love to return to. Thank you for the amazing time and beautiful memories.
