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.).

It’s perfectly located within walking distance to the town centre, which made exploring so easy. Breakfast was absolutely exceptional—delicious and beautifully presented.

Everything, it is very seldom that I give a higher rate than 8, but wow, we just loved our stay. Mercia was amazing. The moment she welcomed us, we felt like friends. She is so accommodating, gave us loads of information and is just lovely. Nothing is too much effort. The accommodation was as neat as a pin. Spotless, even the fridge. The bed and pillows we top standard. We slept like babies. It was very cold, and the duvet was of high quality, and the warm blanket was a winner. The apartment is decorated with an artists touch. It is beautiful, warm, and welcoming. Breakfast was the best we have had and we travel a lot. It was served by Mercia outside on a lovely table cloth with gorgeous plates. Freshly made quiche and yoghurt with fresh fruit and museli. It is a must to stay at Honeysuckle. Honestly, you will not want to leave. Thanks, Mercia, for an unfortunate stay. Will definitely be back.

The kindness of Mercia is an absolute plus, she made us feel home from the beginning. And the breakfast is delicious, with organic food from the the garden. 100% recommended, I will come back for sure! Thank you so much Mercia!

South AfricaYou would be hard-pressed to find a better place to stay in Clarens. We have travelled overseas extensively, and we have yet to receive the level of service we received at Honeysuckle cottage. Mercia and Johan are wonderful hosts and we most definitely felt like friends (not strangers) when we left. Mercia spoiled us with yummy, filling breakfasts that surprised us daily. (they even catered to my dietary needs) Mercia's attention to detail made the cottage cosy and inviting. The cottage is walking distance from the main road where you can shop at your convenience. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
