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 reviewThis is a repeat destination for me offering mountain biking trails, easy accessibility, scenic views, tasteful accommodations, great local restaurants/wineries/ distilleries, as well as many touring and meandering options. Here's where you get away from it all...but still have connectivity for a change of scenery when you work. Personal attention and hospitable staff and owners make all the difference. Every refinement and attention to detail.
Hi Donovan, many thanks for your great review. We look forward to seeing you again in September.

Verified review-Big and fresh breakfast portions and the fact that it mostly is organic produce -Delicious brownies -Ample wood to enjoy a fire in the cold evenings -Animals on the farm -Beautiful decor -Spacious rooms -Well equipped for multi-seasons with the big and warm beds, fire place inside etc -Clean and quality bedding -Perfect lighting in the rooms -Most important - The beautiful views and tranquility
-Hard to find something that can be improved but for someone that likes to braai, I think it would be great if there can be some combination of braai wood that makes better coles (eg Rooi krans or kameeldoring). Otherwise one bag of charcoal. That said, the Bluegum/eucalyptus wood is great for a nice social fire!
Thank you for the compliments! So glad you enjoyed your stay..

Verified reviewThe suite we stayed in was beautiful, and you can see a lot of thought and intention went into the design and organisation of it. The kitchenette was very well equipped, the fire place is cosy, and it is just so beautiful and peaceful there. I was also impressed with the book selection; you can see it wasn't just randomly selected books, and thought went into it. The breakfast basket was amazing as well. My husband got a big thrill out of feeding the pigs with the pig feed packet. It exceeded our expectations, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a more remote stay to decompress.
Thanks Lizanne. It was great to have you both. Hope to see you soon again!

Internet needs a major upgrade
Thanks for the review Claire, we enjoyed hosting you on the farm. Regarding the internet, we fully understand the frustration. Due to our location, fiber is not an option (we tried). We are maxed out with a 20mbs point to point line. We eagerly await the arrival of Starlink.

Verified reviewGorgeous farm setting, peaceful and wholesome. Cute to feed the animals with the kids. The suite was comfortable, perfect size, comfy furnishings. The kitchen had everything you need. The breakfast baskets were an extra treat in the morning and very generous. You can also order meals for dinner and lunch which is super convenient.
The only thing was the indoor fireplace smoked quite a lot, but apparently can be avoided by lighting a smaller fire.
Hi Lisa, much appreciated!

Verified reviewHighly recommend White Water Farm to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, especially families or couples who love nature, animals, and authentic farm life. One of the highlights was the fresh, homemade breakfast basket.. Everything was delicious and locally sourced—fresh eggs, homemade bread, seasonal fruit, juice, ham and cheese.. Friendly welcome, beautiful apartment, fireplace inside, stocked barfridge and fantstic menu to choose from. Wish we stayed longer.
Much appreciated, Babeta! So glad you loved everything! Hope to see you soon again!

Verified reviewI recently had the pleasure of staying at White Water Farm, and I can confidently say it deserves a full 5 out of 5 stars! From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and made me feel right at home. The natural beauty surrounding the farm is absolutely breathtaking. The serene landscapes and stunning views create a peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation. Whether it was enjoying a morning coffee on the porch or taking a leisurely stroll through the gardens, every moment was filled with the beauty of creation. The accommodations were top-notch, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. It truly felt like a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I highly recommend White Water Farm to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing hospitality and stunning natural beauty. I can't wait to return!

Verified reviewThe location is excellent - close to wine farms, places to eat and perfect for gravel road riding and running. The room was perfect. The farm is beautiful with a variety of animals. The swimming pool is magnificent. The breakfast basket was superb! Lovely fresh farm bread and eggs, with delicious fruit and yoghurt. Very importantly for me, the coffee in the room for the plunger was excellent!

The farm itself is huge with the cutest animals on-site and a veggie garden that's so well maintained. Loved every minute of my stay. One day isn't enough.
