Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

South AfricaThe main bed could have been more comfortable. There were some damaged support planks.
Great location. Central to the Elgin region which was the reason for my travel. The property was wonderfully kept. I felt safe and secluded at the same time.

South AfricaIt would be good if shelves were installed for a person's groceries, so that it is not needed to put them on the floor to use the table for eating there. Not all people like feather cushions, they go too flat.
The peace and quiet of the big garden. Nice and secluded. Braai facilities on porch and nice fireplace inside. Dishwasher.

South Africa- The fridge was a touch temperamental and ended up freezing some of our food - Shower drain was a little bit blocked - Towels were a bit small - We weren't aware of the two point plugs points everywhere in the unit but we made do
- Gin and Tonic the dogs were so friendly and cute - The kitchenette set up was great with the little dishwasher as well. - Fantastic shower - I loved the small touches like fresh proteas in the bathroom - The unit felt incredibly private and tucked away - Although we didn't have time, I would have loved to braai as the balcony and braai were so nice

South AfricaWe visit a lot of self catering and the place was lovely and comfortable. Probably 1 of the best by far. The only problem and it was a big problem. No bar fridge. We had meat and ice. It had to buy ice every day. Other times we make ice

South AfricaTastefully decorated and very clean. A freshly picked bunch of flowers was a lovely welcoming touch. The kitchen is small but well equipped. Perfect for a 2 night stay. The little dishwasher was a bonus. Firewood was supplied as a once off and also appreciated. The host was very quick to respond. And very attentive. We would definitely stay here again.

South AfricaThe only thing missing was a swimming pool to cool off and bring the trip together as we traveled around the hottest time of the year!
The place itself is gorgeous and situated in a quiet and tranquil section surrounded by nature. The accommodation has everything you need for your getaway and conveniently situated close to stores and the elgin railway market.

South AfricaDogs are a little intimidating but ultimately very friendly. Small leak at the base of the shower let water escape onto the bathroom floor.
Amazing spot close enough to Cape Town for a quick get away but far enough and special enough to feel like you’re really on holiday. Stayed 1 night with my partner whilst we did the Cape Canopy tour. It was very comfortable and the fire was magical in winter.
