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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 AfricaThere was nothing not to like, only that we had to leave.
Sandra is amazing, and the most friendly, helpful host. We received such a warm welcome, and loved every aspect of our stay. Clean, everything we needed and more. So if you are heading to McGregor, look for Sandra and look for The Cowshed. We loved it!

South AfricaCleanliness and the splash pool. Love it!
The host, Sandra, was very friendly and responded quickly on all communication. The little splash pool was so needed during the warm weather. Very clean cottage and well stocked. Bed was comfortable with nice bedding. We really enjoyed our stay in the Cowshed and I will recommend it to anybody who wants to visit Mcgreggor.

South AfricaWhat a lovely little unit! It had everything we needed for our 4-night visit. We loved the pool and braai area, used it often! Everything was perfectly clean, well thought out, wonderfully private and excellent value for money. We appreciated the small amenities provided like soap, shampoo, tea and coffee, olive oil with salt and pepper - nice touch. Sandra is a superb and very attentive host. She anticipated so many things even before I could ask. I can wholeheartedly recommend this little gem.

The Cowshed was perfect for my stay: Sandra was extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming. The accommodation was clean, and had everything one could want - an extra towel was provided for the swimming pool (yes, there is a small splash pool). Sandra even provided shower gel and shampoo, as well as dishwashing liquid and instant coffee and sugar. I will definitely visit again.
