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 AfricaOwl cottage was very spacious and clean. Enormous comfy bed and fully stocked kitchen. Friendly farm animals that can be patted and fed apples. My dog loved all the freedom of being able to run around and enjoy herself. Lots of walks/hikes around the farm. Less than 2 hour drive from Johannesburg.

South AfricaWhile they have a lot of kids equipment, some of it has definitely seen better days and is in need of TLC
The place is the best I've found for a stay with kids under the age of 10! The place has oodles of jungle gyms and kid obstacle course equipment, tractor rides, donkey cart rides (fun but fast!), and friendly farm animals including a curious fluffy sheep. The cottage we stayed in (Lavender) was very spacious and clean. Johannes was very welcoming and helpful during our stay

South AfricaThe double bed was uncomfortable - not a proper double bed mattress. No extra blankets, which is strange for winter time. Interesting that mugs weren't microwave safe.

South AfricaWe liked everything about the place. The 17km of gravel road to the farm road was a bit rough on my little car, it is fine for bigger vehicles
Loved all the farm animals wandering around the bungalow, especially Meme the sheep who thinks she is a dog. The bungalow was lovely, comfortable and well equipped. The owners' family were so friendly and helpful. A wonderful place for children.

South AfricaThe maintenance throughout was lacking a bit. Small things like globes missing out of the secondary kitchen lights and a lamp in the main room was not working. Besides that it was comfortable and well stocked with equipment needed. The playground needed an upgrade.
A lovely place to take kiddies to experience farm life. The animals are all very friendly. The children loved the horses, goats, donkeys and the tractor & trailer ride. The beds were very comfortable. It's great that we could take our 2 little doggies.

South AfricaThe ceiling was falling in the kiddies room, the swimming pool was cold while they advertised it as a heated pool. We could not go canoeing as advertised because the dam is not well maintained. It is full of reeds. We got a quotation for 2 adults and 2 children, and we specified the ages of the kids on Booking.com, and we were quoted R4000, but when we were making the payment with the owners of the place, we were told Booking.com booked for 2 kids under 3 years of age and we had to pay an extra R2000.
