Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

South AfricaWe would have liked some cutting boards in the kitchen, for the broken toilet seat to be replaced, and for the ball valve in the other toilet to be repaired.
The house is self-catering so we made our own breakfast. Kitchen very well equipped for self-catering. Very helpful cleaning staff. We loved the fire place in the living room! We loved the view of the gorge!

United Arab EmiratesDSTV had very limited channels, and the WiFi was weak. There was no internet access on the TV, so we couldn’t use our own streaming services. The hot water from the geyser only lasted about five minutes. The person who let us in was unfriendly, didn’t offer a warm welcome, and didn’t show us around or explain anything. The house rules and contact number were just stuck on the fridge with no further communication.
The location was peaceful and scenic, and the property looked just like the photos. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, which made for a restful stay.

South AfricaEverything was amazing. The only thing that was not to our satisfaction was the fact that when you say you have DSTV and the Springboks are playing the Barbarians and to arrive and be told the DSTV is not working. Streaming signal was poor as this place was remote. Also no other establishment near to have gone to watch it.
The Cottage was absolutley amazing. Everything was to our satisfaction. The farm is quiet and very relaxing. They even have a squash court on the premises and a beautiful swimming pool with a fabulous view.

United KingdomInformation left for guests out of date. Personally I could have done without some of the antique set dressing.
Location- very quiet. Lovely walks through farm to spectacular gorge views. Beds comfortable. Armchairs old but comfortable. Well equipped - although cutlery and cricket might be a bit meagre if full party (? 7) resident.

South AfricaOne of the bathrooms in the main house is in need of a renovation. As this is a farm be prepared to manage flies. Although it is said that the water is safe, best to come with your own water.
The place was quiet and peaceful, perfect for a get away for a big family. The rooms are pretty and comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials to make for a comfortable stay. The garden was well maintained.

South AfricaThere was an issue between management and us re my younger son being declared as a child. We input my younger boys age as 16 and the property management said that their policy re over 12 as an adult. The reception lady called the owner and he ok’d my son at no additional cost. To us, this was not doing us any favors as we correctly declared my son’s age. We arrived around 4:30pm as we’d been shark diving on the South Coast earlier and got a bit delayed. So we asked for a late checkout. This led to an uncomfortable conversation between my wife and probably the owner as the reception lady had escalated the issue. The owner quoted about R1,700 for a late checkout, which we thought was highly unfair. When we questioned the rate he said that he had already done us a favor by not charging my son at adult rate. What really bothered me was that he called my wife a “cheat” and said that we were taking advantage The owner eventually conceded to check with booking.com on the child age declaration and apologized the next morning to me. The issue here is that the start of what was supposed to be a relaxing peaceful night stay started off on a negative note with the owner being rude because of his perceptions or lack of trust in his guests ! Also, Double beds were comfortable. Single beds were not comfortable. I noticed a board placed under some of the mattresses of the single beds. Whilst I understand that these are antique beds - they still need to maintain some comfort.
Quiet, peaceful, tranquil.

Breakfast is not applicable, it was self catering. The house was spotless and the decor was interesting, beautifully done, with each room different. The gardens were great, and walking round the farm interesting and then driving to the view point of the Oribi Gorge was amazing. So a successful trip all round.

South AfricaI did not like that when someone takes a shower for 5 minutes, the hot water runs out, and the next person has to wait for an hour for the water to get hot again.
I liked the location of the farm,the views are beautiful. We enjoyed using outside facilities.
