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 reviewIf you prefer a stay that is well-located in the Franschhoek area, private and intimate, and is really professionally managed, this is the place to stay. We stayed in the Gite Studio for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. There is so much to mention, but to name a few: the location is beautiful, private, and in nature with birds and squirrels passing by. The linnen and towels are soft and clean and the bed is comfortable. The kitchen and bbq make it super enjoyable to have your own braai. The host Juneta is wonderful, always available to answer your questions and she shared a lot of tips on fun things to do. We hope to come back one day!
This is not meant as feedback, but just as a tip: the bed is a bit more on the smaller end, which is generally perfectly fine, but for my partner of 1.95m a bit short.

Nothing, just needed to get that hot tub really stoked up we didn't quite get it right but that was our fault. For those staying make sure to give plenty of time and wood to get it hot.

Verified reviewProperty very nice but are not serviced daily. No outside lights were working. I can recommend but for the price it should have daily services included.
Our property is marketed as "selfcatering cottages" and as such is not serviced daily.We do however offer guests the option of a cleaning and linenchange in our info leaflet , at a very reasonable rate. Longer stays do get a free complete cleaning every 4 days. All our outside lights are working with sensors, so will come on at night when it's dark, provided that it is switched on. We test all lights before every occupation. It's a pity the Guest did not contact us when they thought the lights was not working.... there need not have been a problem.

There were quite a few mosquitoes which is normal for this time of the year. A mozzie zapper would be useful

Verified reviewGreat location in Franschhoek. We loved the little house. Everything was spotless, the house has everything you need for a nice stay. We could walk to the city centre. The wine tram is a two minute walk from the house if you want to use it. The view from the room is amazing towards vinyards and the surrounding mountains.
We tried to heat up the bath tub to our preferable temperature but could not manage to get it warm enough within the time we were "at home", but this was our own fault ;). Nevertheless, the tub was very clean and the instructions clear. There was also enough wood, lighter, etc and the host even offered to come over to help, but we just gave up. So nothing really to complain about. I would book Gite again.
