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 AfricaFantastic location offering both fly fishing and Bass fishing. Bass fishing in Lake Kinloch only. All other dams fly fishing only. Wonderful hosts. My wife caught her first Rainbow Trout after a lesson from Ian. Will definitely be back.

South AfricaThe lodge offers complete privacy and seclusion, surrounded by a beautiful mix of forests, open fields, and tranquil dams. It’s only a short 15-minute drive to the town of Dullstroom, making it ideal if you’d like to pop out for a leisurely lunch or dinner. The owners are incredibly kind and made us feel right at home. Our two-sleeper cottage was wonderfully cozy, with immaculate attention to detail in every aspect, creating a charming and inviting country-cottage atmosphere.

The location is amazing! So peaceful and tranquil… yet only 15 mins from Dullstroom. We stayed in Dunbar cottage and it was so cosy with the log fire. We walked everyday around the farm, up and down the rolling hills admiring the stunning views. Ian, our host, was most welcoming on arrival and we loved all the cats!

Kinloch provided the best fly fishing experience we've had in Dullstroom, with a variety of well-stocked dams to choose from. The accommodation is tasteful and cozy, with thoughtful touches throughout. The fireplace and electric blankets kept us warm and comfortable during the winter chill. Sianny brought us freshly baked muffins in the morning—a lovely personal touch. The peace and quiet make this the ideal retreat. We’ll definitely be back soon!

South AfricaThe last section of dirt road was the only downside. Summer in the rain must be stressful.
Ian, Sianny, and the clowder of cats are incredible hosts. We had a really great time fishing and walking. It's a truly beautiful place. I look forward to going back again.

South AfricaThank you, Ian and Sianny. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kinloch. We loved Inverness cottage. The rooms are large and well-appointed. The electric blankets were very useful. We have wonderful memories of sitting around the cozy fireplace in the evenings. The highlight of the day was the early delivery of your most delicious muffins. The lawns are green and lush,and the farm views are stunning. The dams were well stocked with fish. We can highly recommend Kinloch Lodge.

South AfricaThe road was a little challenging, but that was due to the rainy days previously. When we left, the roads were much better.
From our arrival, we were welcomed like old friends, a beautiful lodge, with stunning views, incredible hosts, where nothing is too much trouble. The special touches - warm, homebaked muffins in the morning, special birthday cake with sparklers, a sign on the front door welcoming us - just wonderful!

South AfricaThe short dirt road to Kinloch Lodge is accessible if you don't have a 4X4 or all-wheel drive vehicle, but it's very slow going, especially after it has rained. So factor that into your travel time.
Host Sianny treated us with warm home made muffins every morning -- on the house! She also came to our rescue with some mozzie repellant when we realized we hadn't packed that. For the rest, we had total privacy and enjoyed a wonderful restful weekend.
