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.).

IrelandEverything exceeded our expectations. Philip is a hands on host and very friendly. He is also an excellent cook and we were spoilt to lovely cooked breakfasts every morning. We took our dog with us and the dogs on the property were very friendly. The property itself is gorgeous and felt like we were in this bush. Highly recommend staying Eloff Guesthouse.

CanadaEverything was perfect!
This guest house was truly exceptional. The owner grew up in a family of artists and you can feel their creative touch in every corner. The decor is original and full of character, nothing feels standard or mass-produced. Every detail reflects thought, personality, and a genuine love for beauty. The owner, who welcomed us himself, was incredibly kind and helpful. He made us feel at home right away and shared plenty of great suggestions for where to eat and what to see in the area, which made our experience even richer. I only wish we had arrived a bit earlier to enjoy the stunning pool that overlooks the valley. It’s a peaceful and breathtaking spot, perfect for relaxing. There’s a short off-road stretch to get there, but don’t let that put you off. It’s quick and easy, and once you arrive, you’ll feel like you’ve found a little hidden paradise. Breakfast was another highlight. It was tasty and served on a balcony with a spectacular view—an unforgettable way to start the day. If you’re looking for a stop in the area, I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s one of those rare stays that leaves a lasting impression and truly exceeds expectations.

United KingdomPower cut. But this is not Eloff's fault. LED lighting or torches would be handy. Everything else is fine.
Eloff was a real gem. The 5 of us were all very happy with our stay. We had a two-bed house and a family room. The rooms are spacious and clean. It was tucked away from the main road and we arrived in the storm in the evening so not easy to find at the beginning, but in the morning we all enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. The breakfast was excellent, very well presented, and delicious. Phillip was very friendly and recommended us to a local restaurant which we enjoyed totally. Philip's mum was also very nice, showed us around her gallery, and we were very impressed by their artwork. We highly recommend Eloff!
