How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewBeautiful views all day, perfect stoep to enjoy the scenery from sunrise to sunset! The remoteness of the cabin allows for a quiet, peaceful getaway but with all the comforts you may need for a 'home away from home' experience. The beds were exceptionally comfy and the electric blankets and indoor fireplace on a cold night were great, the kitchen is fully equipped and the friendly assistance and attention to detail from the host was a brilliant. The accommodation is centrally located with lots to explore in the area, just sad the weather was too rainy for us to make use of the hot tub. Would highly recommend Fynbosrust, would love to visit again and stay longer. Just a side note - the road to the cabin is of good quality even in rainy weather, but since it's quite a bumpy terrain in certain parts (rockface&gravel) a higher rise vehicle would be best.

Verified reviewWe loved everything. A total gem for an escape into nature, surrounded by mountains, fynbos, and birds. Our host Carin was superb. The cottage has everything you need. The view was outstanding. 20 out of 10.

Verified reviewRemote, quiet and an amazing view.
We were let down by the vehicle rental company and didn’t get the 4x4 ordered and this was a major negative!

Verified reviewFynbosrust is an extraordinary luxury selfcatering house with 2 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. It's like a home faraway from home - fully equipped with all you need and very comfy beds. The views from the deck and the house itself with huge glass fronts are phantastic. This place is for those, who wants to relax and having a pieceful break from hectic life or just want to spend some days with family or friends. Only 2 km away - so walking distance - is the Gin destillery Monks, making also lovely cocktails. We can highly recommend a stay at Fynbosrust!!
in case you only have a small sedan car the way to Fynbosrust is a bit tricky, but for higher clearance cars it is no problem.

Verified reviewWe thoroughly enjoyed our hillside stay, which offered a stunning view of the mountain and a serene, peaceful atmosphere. The accommodation was comfortable and warm, providing everything we needed. All you have to do is pack your bags and relax!
The only drawback was the absence of a hot tub or splash pool, which would have been a great addition to the experience.

Verified reviewGreat scenery and very well equipped property. Spacious and very tranquil. A lovely spot to visit for some de-stress. Getting there was a mission. A normal car and even a crossover will not get there due to the terrain. A SUV or best 4x4 is needed.
I would have liked to get a clear instruction to not go by normal car. There was no way a normal car would have made it. We got stuck at the beginning of the path.

Verified reviewThe location was spectacular! Amazing views! The cottage is hidden in the mountains and you really feel immersed in the veld. Beautifully appointed with all the comforts you need. Carin,the host, was always available and super friendly and helpful.
The road leading to the cabin was a bit tricky, especially if you have a low profile car. If there's one thing missing it's a plunge pool or hot tub (wood fire). This addition would complete the spot.

Verified reviewYou could not ask for a more indulgent stay. Everything has been thought about and supplied - from the exquisite bedding down to the generous welcome drinks and ready stacked fireplace that awaits you. It is a true escape. The privacy is absolute and the views are magnificent. We loved the little animals that came to visit each day. Our host was warm and attentive and preempted our questions before we needed to ask.
There was nothing not to like!
