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 AfricaThe bed was a bit hard and difficult to get used to on the first night, but otherwise good. The photos of the cottage don't show that the main bedroom is down a few stairs.
The cottage was lovely with beautiful views of the garden and a short walk to the swimming pool and separate entertainment area with a big kitchen. The smell of jasmine was lovely while we were sitting on the stoop watching the birds.

United KingdomWe had a problem closing the automatic security gate when checking out after putting the key in the lock box. The gate kept reopening and we didn't want to leave the security gate open. Fortunately the owner just arrived home to help us.
Everything about this place is excellent. The host has thought of everything. Fresh coffee and a coffee press, teas, milk, cookies, chocolates on your pillow, quality shower gel, shampoo, cotton buds , note book, pens, a book of recommended places to visit and restaurant suggestions. The apartment was immaculately clean with fresh quality linen. Hot shower, comfy beds . The view from your own outside eating area is directly across to the mountains. It is in a quiet residential area. The owner deserves an award for this excellence.

South AfricaVery accommodating hosts. We stayed there for a race and had to leave the car for a bit longer, beyond the check out time. The team made a plan so we could leave the car safely on site and get a shower after the race in the pool house. Going above and beyond to make it work for our tricky time plan - we value this a lot. Thanks a ton! Besides that, the Guesthouse is very charming, comfortable beds and well equipped room on a neatly curated property with great amenities right in the heart of Swellendam. We sure will be back!

South AfricaIt was very cold even though I did run the overhead heater. The smaller heater was not working but I'm sure the host has tended to that by now. There were extra blankets and throws which was good.
This place was spotless! Spacious with a lovely outside deck, perfect for a stopover one night stay. The towels and bedding were good and the decor was cute all round. Lovely touches like chocolates on the pillow and a jar of sweets on the desk to enjoy while I worked.

South AfricaI liked everything about the property.The only thing that need a touch is putting a smart t.v in the room,the same as the one in the Shed.Other than that everything is 10 out of 10
Thanks to the host with the lovely welcome,she’s the best.I loved everything about the property from the location of it with beautiful views.Having a Shed to Braai and have fun inside even if it’s raining or not,that’s the best part I like.Waking up in the morning and see the beauty of nature.That on it’s own is amazing.Also my woman loved everything about the property hence we came to celebrate her birthday weekend.She also liked the thoughtful service where minor things a woman would need are available in the room.
