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 AfricaBreakfast could be more generous otherwise everything was lovely. Nice big fire outside by Pizza area would also make sitting outside a bit more pleasant as we had to sit outside first evening for dinner.
Warm people and friendly staff. Dinner options sufficient and can please most pallets. Would have liked to stay longer but not able to do so this time

The room was large enough for 2 adults and 2 large teenage boys to share comfortably (at least for 1 night!). The owners and staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was delicious. This made for a great over night stop on the garden route.

South AfricaNothing not to like and with superb Boplaas whisky and wine cellar just down the road, you cannot go wrong!
We have stayed here before and will continue to support Karoo Life BnB. It is relaxed, convenient, welcoming and value for money. The breakfast is great and their restaurant is well above expectations and popular with evening diners. I always enjoy a swim which is a great relief in the Karoo heat. The rooms are comfortable and clean with air-conditioning and a fan.

United KingdomVery comfortable room. We had a room in the garden. A/c worked well thank goodness as it was a hot day. We were able to sit in the garden relaxing in the shade of the trees. Lovely to have a swim when we arrived. We ate at the property on our second night and had excellent pizzas. This was a return visit for us and it was every bit as good as the first. Lovely friendly dogs

South AfricaI enjoyed my stay and don't have any complaints.
No 5 was at the end of all the units with a table and chair outside to sit, have yr coffee and enjoy the view. The room was big, bed was comfy and had all the amenities that is needed. With a Restuarant on site.. just 80 steps from my room ( I counted). Lovely outside area to sit under the trees. Braai facilities. Everything is there for you to enjoy. Being in Calitzdorp was fantastic as my ancestors started the "dorp". The Museum is just up the road with so much history of how it all started. So.. yes..I enjoyed my stay and wished I booked another day.

It was just what I needed after a long hot drive. Delicious breakfast. Room spacious. Nice to have milk in fridge. Loved hearing distant church bells.
