How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewJean is so lovely. She took us through the hotel history and the wine. It was so comfortable. Would have loved to stay longer.
More restaurant options. Had to drive out to town for a different experience. However, the hotel has two options that can meet most requirements.
Dear Summer, Thank you for staying with us. We are glad you enjoyed your time with us and the wine. When you return for your longer stay, we will hopefully have both restaurants open. Looking forward welcoming you again. Kind regards, The Springfonteiners

Verified reviewWe had an incredible stay at Sprinfontein. The property is stunning and the rooms beautifully furnished. We were lucky enough to have a special tour of the property with owner Jeanne, who is incredibly kind, warm and knowledgeable about wine and the estate.
Dear Jacqueline, Thank you very much for staying with us and for the great review. It was a pleasure to host you and your group. Will pass on the good word to Jeanne. Hope to welcome you again. Warm regards, The Springfonteiners

Verified reviewWe loved the views and the rooms. It’s so peaceful and good for the soul.
There wasn’t Aircon with it being so hot and humid. We found the lodge to be very separated with the pool and restaurant being so away from the rooms. I think the mattresses need to be changed as it did concave when lying on it

Verified reviewThe views of the mountains and the river are truly beautiful. It's a lovely farm getaway. The rooms are clean and comfortable
We would have liked a fan/aircon in the rooms, and a mini bar fridge would be useful too

Verified reviewWow. What a scenery. The views were spectacular, and the Lodge very stylish. Lots of attention to detail. Loved the limestone walls. Staff was extremely attentive, the food was great, and the wines are outstanding. We will be back.
The breakfast area is a little walk from the Lodge, and the river access a little muddy. For us no real problem though :-)!
