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 AfricaEverything was great!
It was beautiful accomodation and a wonderful first experience of Clarens. We felt so spoiled with such exquisite rooms, added thoughts to make it so warm and comfortable . Would definitely recommend others to stay here and will visit again ourselves. Thank you for a 5 star experience. The food was excellent as well.

South AfricaBreakfast is served independently at the restaurant on site. They say between 8AM and 10AM. Both days they were not open by 8AM. The first morning we had to be in Clarens by 9AM, so we did not have time to wait. On the second morning, we waited more than half an hour without anyone saying anything to us, so we left. I must say, this was a let down on the trip.
Beautiful surroundings in the Drakensburg. We took our dogs with. They got on well with the owners’ dogs.

South AfricaWe have no complaints. We enjoyed every aspect of the stay!
The facilities were beautiful as well as the scenery. We really enjoyed the room, and the breakfast was amazing! It is close enough to Clarens so you can go walk around and enjoy the restaurants, but it is isolated enough to feel intimate and quiet. We will definitely be back in the future!

South AfricaWe were there over VERY cold weekend, and the room we were in was cold oil heater and built-in fireplace (bring your own wood or buy in Clarens). There were electric blankets so bed was100%. Would have been nice to be able to buy wood at the farm for convenience. The unit (Pintje) would be stunning in warmer weather
The staff, location, views and rooms are excellent. Sandstone, well appointed, comfy etc. The Farm is in the process of changing from a permanent restaurant, to managing this in-house. They offered a basic breakfast which was fine. They have plans to upgrade this so as to meet further guest needs and I am sure they will accomplish this over time. The staff are excellent and I'm sure will make it happen. There are many restaurants in Clarens close by as alternatives. Cooking facilities in the room are limited.
