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.).

Our gorgeous cottage "Bubbles" was set in amongst trees with exquisite views of the mountains. The cottage was comfortable with an air conditioning unit, hot blankets and wifi. Andy and Penny were fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed delicious meals in their restaurant prepared and served by their exceptional staff. We were sad to leave.

SpainThere was honestly nothing I didn’t like, but I think the staff could probably have explained more how the breakfast worked. The cottage we stayed in was a rustic style with kitchen (great!) which was very cute, especially the old oven (for decor) but I would suggest updating the couches/armchairs.
Highlights: The outside spa treatments with real birds chirping instead of “spa music” The little garden of our cottage with braai and plenty of outside seating. The general prettiness of the property - really such a relaxing atmosphere. You can’t believe you are just outside Ladismith. Very nice baby crib and very comfy beds/bedding

We had a very special weekend at Mymering. Its location is unique - situated in a beautiful valley looking onto Towerkop. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The staff were attentive and friendly. Our cottage was comfortable and very well appointed. Our host and hostess were delightful and made our stay really memorable. We so enjoyed the informative walk with our host (together with dogs) through the extensive vineyards in the morning. Would definitely recommend a stay at this peaceful guest farm

What a fantastic place! The cottage was spacious and had everything we needed. There are two outdoor sitting areas as well. The hosts were fabulous - and so was the wine. The views from the estate are stupendous. Our only regret was that we had not booked for several nights.

South AfricaAbsolutely wonderful, breathtaking and beautiful. The photos do not do the estate and the room justice. Truly magical experience. The 3 course meal was delicious and the wine tasting was affordable, fun and complimented by views and wonderful company. Leonie was so fun and friendly, making our experience even better. Penny and Andy were amazing hosts with awesome suggestions and incredibly warm and welcoming. Can’t wait to be back!

South AfricaThere were a few hiccups with cleanliness (braai wasn't cleaned on arrival, some plastic rubbish around the garden). The breakfast is way too expensive for what you get. Kitchen is unsure about what a Hollandaise for the eggs benedict is, first day no hollandaise at all, second day sth unidentifiable, pale white. Also dinner in our understanding was a bit expensive for the both quality and quantity, but there are not many alternaitves in Ladismith, other than having a braai at your own cottage (which is a very valid alternative).
Beautiful location. Friendly owners. Spacious cottage.

The owners were so welcoming and took us on a private tour of the vineyard. Our outdoor massages were phenomenal and super serene. The food set menu was delicious and they were very accommodating with our dietary requirements. We will definitely be back, thank you for having us.

South AfricaOriginally had booked for just a night, and ended up staying as long as we could. The welcome was so large. We felt like family. The restaurant (meals are decided daily) produces really delicious home-style food. Even better to have Hillock wine with the food. It also comes from the farm. Breakfasts were excellent. Stayed in Towerkop cottage. It was super spacious with views out to the northern mountains. The private pool, and little Karoo garden were great to sit next to throughout the day. Wonderful shower and comfy bed. The outside spa area is definitely worth a visit for a massage. You can walk around the vineyards. The selection of grapes grown is quite astounding. Maybe the owner’s two dogs can show you the way.

Our hosts were delightful to speak with at length. The outdoor veranda was a wonderful space for both breakfast and dinner. Dinner was excellent! The grounds are secluded and beautifully nestled in the foothills of nearby mountains. Our room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated.

Stayed in Mae West, perfectly situated to lie on the deck next to splash pool and look out onto the mountains. Had clear skies in the evening which made stargazing absolutely spectacular. Unit has small fridge and pod coffee machine which was not listed on Booking.com, had I known this I would have brought along some coffee pods.
