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 AfricaNothing about the host and place per say but, the cellular reception is not great and only Vodacom was available for service. But the hosts had wifi which catered for when we were indoors for our data needs.
This was the ideal getaway for my birdthday and Mother's day as well. Awesome hosts and also beautiful views. Peace and quiet of the area. The outside hot tub was a bonus and the host let us use it. All in all the place, had everything and was well stocked. The information given and helpfulness in settling us in was well appreciated.

We had a really wonderful stay at Oakvlei farm. Carol and her staff were very friendly and welcoming. The directions were clear, and we had no trouble finding the place. They have thought of every convenience necessary to make your stay enjoyable, and the place is incredibly peaceful. A real piece of heaven and a perfect escape from the real world for a while. We also had a K9 visitor named Rosie,, who was extremely friendly and enjoyed playing with our kids. Finally, the housekeeping service provided by Phili was the cherry on the cake! We would definitely love to visit again.

This cottage was fabulous. We loved the homely feel and it was exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed and so much more. There were numerous welcoming touches and 2 wonderful fireplaces, with plenty of comfortable seating. It has an enormous kitchen, several fridges, comfortable beds, lots of pillows and towels. The well tended gardens frame the relaxing view out over the farmlands.

South AfricaWe could not of asked for a better stay it was wonderful
Oakvlei was an absolutely amazing cottage. Such a beautiful big well fenced garden even for smaller dogs and a great family game of touch rugby. The house was beautifully furnished with wall heaters and electric blankets in each room. The main bedroom is so beautiful with its own fire place apart from a lovely big main fire place in the main lounge. We enjoyed watching rugby in the 2nd lounge with a TV. Huge country kitchen which was so well stocked with utilities. A added bonus was a coffee station off the lounge, lots of fridges and freezers made a group stay easy. Our kids loved the table tennis table. We visited the farm dams and Carol gave us a great tour of the diary. Would highly recommend this amazing place, perfect for a family/dog friendly holiday.
