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 AfricaNothing at all it was comfortable and just what we wanted.
Of course! Here’s a polished, positive review you can use or tweak as you like: We had the most wonderful stay this past weekend! The service was absolutely excellent—warm, welcoming, and attentive. The tranquil nature walks, fresh crisp air, and stunning mountain scenery made it feel like a little piece of heaven. The peaceful river flowing gently through the property added to the serene atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop to relax and unwind. It’s truly the ideal escape when you're feeling tired, overworked, or simply in need of reconnecting with yourself. A hidden gem that offers both comfort and calm. Highly recommend to anyone looking to recharge and find inner peace.

South AfricaAnts are part of the natural landscape; keep your food secure. Otherwise, a perfect experience.
Rocky Drift is an incredible destination where you'll be welcomed by the soothing sounds of running water. The lush plant life and natural scenery along the walk are absolutely breathtaking, making it the perfect escape from the city to immerse yourself in nature. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the hosts are always eager to help make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable.

South AfricaThe fact we could not stay longer. The grounds are very well kept and honestly I would not change anything. We had one towel that needed to be changed but really this is not a big issues and the onsite team are lovely and helpful.
We love going to Rocky Drift, the scenery is absolutely wonderful, you feel so at peace with the trickling water and mountains, the facilities for the kids is awesome and they are bust all day. The cottages are clean and have everything you need, remember this is a mountain area so there will be the odd little insect that comes to say hi. The restaurant is also great and offers lovely meals, just let the team know in advance. We love it here!
