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.).

Everything! What a truly magical place. It’s a true oasis. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, allowing us to do a spontaneous wine tasting upon arrival which we really enjoyed. The room is beautiful and spacious. We just wish we could have stayed longer!!

United StatesThe place was really excellent.
This is a really lovely guest house on a wine estate in a rural part of Paarl. It's beautiful and comfortable with wonderful staff and excellent food - also not far from Franshoek and Stellenbosh and a lot of hiking/outdoor activities!

South AfricaExtremely minor thing but maybe having smaller pillows in the bed, our bed was luxurious and comfortable but the pillows were so massive you couldn’t lie down properly. Silly thing to complain about but everything was perfect!
Everything about this property was amazing. We were upgraded from the king suite to the presidential which was a lovely surprise. The staff are amazing and are super kind and willing to help with any need. We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the property with a wine tasting - the estate has lovely range of wines. The staff were 11/10 helping us with everything from things to do around the property to answering any questions we had. Overall such a wonderful stay and will come again.

South AfricaAn Unforgettable Stay – Pure Luxury and Exceptional Service! From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every staff member went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and cared for. The food was nothing short of spectacular, with each meal beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Whether it was breakfast or a fine-dining dinner, everything exceeded our expectations. The rooms were exceptionally luxurious—spacious, elegantly designed, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, creating a space that felt both indulgent and relaxing. It was an absolute joy to stay here, and I truly can’t wait to return. A well-deserved five stars!

South AfricaThe room was excellent. Period. Best nights sleep in a long while. Think "grandma's feather bed" and you get to realise how comfortable it was. The room was awesome in a thatch cottage and the Jura coffee machine made the perfect cuppa. Definitely set the benchmark that'll be hard to beat. Breakfast was 5 star. Staff were awesome.

South AfricaThere was nothing I didn't like
The gardens, grounds and buildings are very well maintained. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They were expecting us and made us feel welcome when we arrived. Adara exceeded our expectations, as some times a place doesn't look like the pictures on the internet. We would love to stay there again. The breakfast was also very good and the products they used of good quality.

NetherlandsMinor for others but for me important. The light in the living room was soft and romantic, but I missed a place where I had enough light to read. Maybe a standing reading lamp can provide a solution.
Very pleasant staff. Perfect location (estate), excellent accomodation, excellent service; dining and breakfast were of a very high quality. All in all: fantastic.
