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 AfricaWe love the place but unfortunately we won't return as the bed was way too uncomfortable. We barely slept and I also woke up with a stiff neck. The tea light candles around the loft could have also been replaced, all were burnt out.
We loved the view and the braai area. The loft idea with the bed up a ladder was really cool. For the price, it was a steal, everything was clean and neat. We enjoyed the cosy feel of the place

South AfricaThe towels had a few stains. And the dishes given to use could have been cleaned, there were a few stains and I suggest cleaning the fridge before new guests arrive. Perhaps something for the ants... They were almost everywhere.
I loved the scenery. It was absolutely peaceful. There were others booked in the manor, they were really friendly and we enjoyed a nice evening. The style of the loft was unique, my partner had to show off his jungle gym skills! It was raining for a bit so we didn't get the chance to enjoy the pool.

United KingdomNot being from SA I didn't have a SIM for calls so was reliant on messages, and they aren't guaranteed to be seen straight away Although we were provided with an address, the house name was something different on the post outside so we weren't totally sure at first whether we were in the right place The blankets were extremely welcome as it was horrible weather but we did wonder why there was no heating (load shedding notwithstanding) Again as it was terrible weather we did miss having a radio or TV, but thankfully had something downloaded on a tablet... In decent weather I'm sure this would be irrelevant. There didn't seem to be anyone around for check out so was completely unsure what to do with the key, which you need to exit the gate with but also obviously return. I don't think this is usual though.
Perfect location, lots of things to do and places to eat Great to be able to use the swimming pool (which we did despite the weather being terrible) Lovely to have rusks, chocolates, milk, tea and coffee Very useful to have bath towels Manual very useful Blankets very welcome Great to have parking Felt safe Enjoyed the monkeys even though I know they can be troublesome Wish we knew the name of the dog

South AfricaThe braai did not seem to have the correct grill plates - I could have been mistaken. The bathroom could use a bit of a makeover - or more pictures uploaded to the listing - so that I could have arrived with the knowledge of the finishings - both these factors were easily overlooked with the rest of the offering.
The tranquility and the view. The outside area was lovely. The accommodating of my requests for both an earlier check in and a later check out were both greatly appreciated - a great plus for me. Thanks again.

South AfricaThe apartment could have been stocked just a little better (maybe an extra roll of toilet paper, for example).
It doesn't get more idyllic than a getaway spent in a loft, situated in the midst of a Valley of 1000 Hills, with friendly hosts to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
