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 AfricaThe only issue for us was the per dog per day fee, which we found to be a bit unnecessary. Perhaps a refundable deposit would be better to cover any possible damage made by visiting dogs but so that there is no additional costs when dogs are well behaved and don’t do any damage.
Beautiful property with spotless rooms and surrounds. Plenty of space for hiking and adventuring. Restaurant was amazing with excellent food at a very good price. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

The place exceeded our expectations. Perfect timing, considering we experienced the snowy and gloomy weather. A beautiful and slow morning, away from the city. The picnic setup was superb! We will definitely find ourselves back for a weekend stay!

South AfricaNothing much or serious. Attention to detail could be improved.
The restaurant was excellent. Food choices catered for everyone, staff very attentive and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Generally all staff exceptionally friendly and helpful, the rooms are unique with the internal rock walls adding to the romantic vibe of this currently unknown Guest Ranch. We will definitely be back with friends to share this unusual value offering.

South AfricaOn our arrival there was no electricity but they had it fixed only to go off again during the night. But again they worked on it ASAP. The only downfall was signal - there was wifi but reception was weak and I couldn't reach my family back home everytime.
The Scenery was absolutely beautiful and it was so peaceful and quiet. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Just loved the fresh spring water and that everyday they gave fresh milk from their own cows. So much good stuff and I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
