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.).

Germanythat we could not have taken home the two lovely Labrador dogs with us ;-)
Great experience and comfortable stay: We decided on this accomodation very spontaneously, when coming from Lesotho as we did not want to stay in the crowded capital Maseru and found this magnificent place in a quiet neighbourhood of Ficksburg. Despite our late booking (about one hour before arrival), our hosts have surprised us with an opulent dinner we had in their living-room as well as a hearty breakfast the following morning. The rooms are well-equipped with all amenities, comfortable beds, complimentary tea and coffee, so that we can really recommend that accomodation without any reservations.

CanadaA Delightful One-Night Stop in Ficksburg We spent just one night in this lovely small-town gem, and it exceeded all expectations. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed — a true home away from home. Dinner was absolutely delicious, with fresh, flavourful food that clearly had heart behind it. What really made the stay special were the hosts. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely interesting, they made us feel like more than just guests — more like old friends passing through. We left feeling rested, well-fed, and grateful for such a memorable stop on our journey. Highly recommended for anyone needing a peaceful break in good company.

South AfricaI wish the staff would pay more attention to cleaning the rooms. On our second night, the toilet paper ran out, and they didn't replace some of the towels.
The hosts, both Cavin and Thomas, were exceptional. They are warm and welcoming. They also have 2 beautiful, friendly dogs.

BotswanaI travel often and I can confidently say that this place is world-standard. I loved everything about Victoria House. The room was spacious and clean. The property is picturesque. They went out of their way to put a desk in my room so I could work. The dinner and breakfast were yummy. I honestly cannot rave about them enough. Highly recommend them to everyone:-)

South AfricaGavin and Calen have a very beautiful home in a central location in Ficksburg and are very helpful hosts. The rooms are comfortable and tastefully furnished with everything you could want. They prepared a delicious meal for me in the evening which I ate in the dining room of the main house. Their breakfast is also very generous.

A really lovely place to stay with delicious dinners prepared by the hosts in an old family home. The enormous pine tree has world champion tree status and was planted in 1903 from seedlings brought from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) by returning Boer war prisoners.

South AfricaThere is nothing that we can suggest that can be improved, it is clear that Gavin and Caylen has mastered the art of hosting and running a well functioning, warm and friendly guesthouse. Once you are there you don't need to leave as dinner and breakfast are sorted and it feels like visiting family, all your needs are catered for.
The hosts were exceptional, the food was off the charts in terms of taste and presentation, the resident dogs were a delight and the room was super comfortable with awesome linen on the bed and a fully stocked honesty snack and beverage bar.
