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 AfricaFrom the moment we arrived at this guest house, we were completely blown away. Nestled in a peaceful and picturesque location, it offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The property is beautifully maintained, blending charm and comfort in a way that made us feel instantly at home. Our room was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with attention to every little detail. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and waking up to the view each morning felt like a dream. Lisa and the other staff were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our stay special — from local recommendations to homemade breakfast that was simply out of this world. See you again next year!

United KingdomAs temperature was on the lower side, we kept dreaming about the idea of the pool being heated to be able to enjoy it whilst the air was cold. During our cloudy day, it would have been incredible. Certainly not a dislike at all, but suggestions of heated pool, sauna, ice bath additions would take this place to the next level!
Lisa was superb as a host. Location was great. Felt safe. Gardens were lovely to enjoy, sitting in different areas and soaking up the midday sun before grabbing blankets and enjoying the evening. Very quiet and peaceful. All other guests were very nice and barely saw them to be honest.

South AfricaOn the expensive side for a SAn citizen. They could have had more options on the hot side for breakfast, eg. omelettes, scrambled egg, etc. but otherwise a very delicious breakfast and the added touch of Easter eggs on Easter Sunday. Very friendly staff.
It is in a very peaceful, quiet, beautiful setting with incredible views of the surrounding mountains. The garden and pool area is gorgeous and it is a perfect place to relax and unwind. I wish I could have spent a week there. The rooms are very comfortable and the host extremely welcoming, friendly and accommodating. It is close to the town, but away from the noise and haste.

United KingdomNothing at all. WiFi was not always very reliable but did not bother me.
What a wonderful stay it was. I would have given it the highest score just for the views, but everything else was perfect too. Excellent breakfast, very spacious room, comfortable bed, and a lovely pool. The people were very friendly. And yet, the most amazing thing was the views...

South AfricaThere were a lot of mosquitoes around and depending on the wind direction, a bad smell emanating, presumably from the septic tank.
The location and views are fantastic. The rooms were very clean, well maintained and well appointed. The breakfasts were excellent, with lots of nice meals to choose from. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Location is great..peaceful with large well laid out and interesting gardens and stunning views. About 10 min stroll into the main town (daylight only) but uber is widespread so cheap and easy to get back at night. We have stayed in many places in Franschhoek over the years and this is our favourite
