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 AfricaWe loved the fact that our cottage/pod was far away from the other buildings, and we could enjoy the peaceful and serene surroundings day and night. It was our first trip with our 7-month old puppy who had a blast, exploring the olive groves during the day and enjoying the fireplace on a cold winter night. We absolutely loved the fact that we were treated with options of a fireplace, the hot tub and/or the firepit.

South AfricaLovely view of the river from our cottage. The weather was cold but the indoor fireplace was very effective at warming up the main area and there were hot blankets and heaters in the bedrooms. The owner , Allison was very helpful and readily available for any queries . We are hoping to return to try out the mountain eco cabins .

South AfricaWe could hear some music and conversations from the cottage next to us. Just something to keep in mind if you’re expecting absolute peace and quiet.
Great location for a getaway with a river view, and easy to find thanks to the clear signage along the dirt road. The host was absolutely lovely and welcoming! The cottage was very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. The indoor fireplace was definitely our favorite feature. We also liked the honesty shop on the property with delicious olives.

This was my second visit, and once again, the accommodation exceeded expectations. Clean, well-equipped, and hosted by friendly staff, it’s a fantastic spot for both fishing and birdwatching. The olive tour was a lovely experience, and the breathtaking views make it truly special. It has everything you need for a relaxing and memorable getaway. Highly recommended!

South AfricaNothing! I love everything about this place.
Absolutely everything about this place was phenomenal! They are well equipped with cutlery, crockery and utensils. This place was clean and there were extra blankets when needed. I enjoyed fishing from early in the morning until late at night. There are loads of birds on the property including the Pied, Giant and Malachite Kingfisher. I loved that I could purchased a few olive items that she sells on the farm. I can't wait to visit the farm again and do a factory tour. Allison was an exceptional host and always around. Thank you once again for your hospitality!
