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 AfricaThis is was our second visit to Fox & Squirrel, we love coming here! The cottage is very well located and is the perfect getaway for a group of friends or family. There is a trout dam directly in front of the cottage and the view from the cottage is spectacular. The welcoming sherry, fireplace, and electric blankets make it the perfect winter getaway too!

South AfricaThe property is in a security estate overlooking a beautiful trout dam. It’s perfectly located in that it is walking distance from the main strip in town, but still offers peace and tranquility by not being on the main street. The living area with the fireplace is super cozy and the indoor braai is very convenient. Electric blankets in winter are an added bonus!

everything in the house was perfect. A winner is the indoor braai , especially when cold and rainy weather . All the fireplaces in the house was great , although we only used the one in the living room. We could even watched the rugby , Dorothy was a great help and very friendly , keep it up and see you again well done !!!!!

We’ve stayed here a few times. We love the cosy cottage feel. The complimentary Old Brown sherry always works for the girls in my family. Everything worked well, indoor braai, a few upgrades to the kitchen since last time. Excellent value for money.

South AfricaThe house feels “dirty” - Carpets and lounge couches need a rethink. We walked into the property and it smelt like heavy smoke. After a few days stay it became better with us air’ing the place out.
Great location and the house had all the amenities as well as all the required items for a great stay.

South AfricaThe cozy cottage, peace, tranquility, and the scenery. It was within walking distance of the dam. The lovely heated blankets to keep you warm at night and knowing that you're sleeping on fresh, clean linen. I loved the touch of the sherry as we only arrived at 11h00pm, and it warmed up the guys. The fireplaces in every room. My fur babies were so comfortable and happy as well.

South AfricaThe communication from the host was poor, they also weren't sure the date we booked for and made no effort to communicate with us on the date. We had to phone a security company to get a hold of the owner as none of the neighbor were able to contact them. A very stressful arrival, we thought we were initially scammed.
The house was clean, neat and well looked after. The town was lovely.

South AfricaGeneral maintenance is needed. Webber was broken. Pedestal in one bedroom loose. Toilet was leaking in one of the double rooms. The key was broken on the single rooms sliding door. The bedroom cupboards need a clean as we could not pack away our clothing. I expected more meaures for load shedding. We took own lights but in terms of cooking could use more measures. However the view was unbeatable as well as the surroundings. Close to town.
The view was exceptional. The house was very comfortable. Comfortable beds. Good space for a family. Will definately return. Despite the loadshedding we managed to have a great weekend away with two families comfortably.

South AfricaIt was a bit difficult to get to the estate, the GPS took us to another house. Just confirm with the owner. When we arrived at the house, we heard the TV was on and the cleaning lady was busy watching tv and sitting on the coach, she was a bit shocked that someone came to the house, not expecting us. It was unpleasant as I immediately thought are we doubled booked, why is there someone still in the house. We phoned Nicola, and it was immediately sorted out.
Perfect for a big family. Location close by everything. Beds was nice. Clean & neat.
