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.).

An absolute gem. Hosts met us on arrival and even got up early to see us off. Ideally located away from the bustle of Cape Town but close enough to explore. Cottage had everything we needed and more. Swimming pool is private and will be cleaned and covered daily without intrusion. Lovely covered patio area for dining outside, supermarket a 3 minute drive away. What can I say apart from pretty perfect. Thank you,Hazel and Christo. X

United KingdomThere wasn't anything that we didn't like.
We stayed in Meerendal Cottage from 5th January until 3rd February 2024. The property is absolutely superb and the owners, Hazel & Christo, who live in the adjoining property, are very special people. We had decided to find a 5 star property that would afford us privacy and luxury whilst we enjoyed the hot South African summer. The property met this brief 100%. The cottage is extremely well appointed, has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and two bathrooms. The showers are excellent. The exclusive use of the small but lovely garden and the swimming pool are of enormous benefit. The pool is heated and we used it constantly as it was at the right temperature to enjoy easy access. We ate out a few nights a week but BBQ'd the rest of the time. We can't thank Hazel and Christo enough for their kind hospitality.

South AfricaAbsolutely beautiful and comfortable. We loved everything about the place. Rooms are large and spacious, and 2 large bathroom/toilet/showers. Great that both rooms have their own TVs with streaming services. There is so much of space to relax in from the 2 beds, to the window nook/lounging area in main bedroom, dining table, braai/patio area, movable pool loungers, garden bench etc. Owners are really lovely and helpful but leave us alone to enjoy the place (although in contact in need). Conveniently close to supermarket/shopping centre/petrol station and also the N1, yet still has the look and feel of a safe, quiet suburb.
