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.).

The tranquillity. Just being away from home. No loud noises. Just absolute peace. All you could hear is nature. Definitely I will be returning back.

South AfricaThe ONLY thing we didn't like was that the sofa bed mattress was very thin, but it is understandable for a fold out couch.
We're from PE, but just wanted to get 'away' for a night. It was absolutely amazing. We felt like we were nice and remote. Our little family had a great time. Hosts were absolutely amazing and welcoming. Thank you Tania and Al.

South AfricaThere was nothing to dislike.
This accommodation was a very pleasant surprise! It is tucket away among trees that must have been there for decades which made it feel if one is in the middle of a forest. Because of its location (away from the beach - where we usually stay), we saw, and got to appreciate, a completely different part of Gqebergha that we probably would never have experienced. The reception by Alan was very welcoming. And during our stay, the Tania even asked if she can provide us with a heater, or anything else that we may need. That was very kind of Tania in my opinion. All I can say is: stay at L'auberge - you will not be disappointed!

We enjoyed the peaceful forest like feel with modern finishes. The room has a very comfortable bed, a double shower and the rusks for morning coffee was a yummy surprise ... the photos on the website are accurate but when you get there its a million times better ... the quiet forest atmosphere makes relaxing so easy ... if you need to escape the city stress and forget about life for a while this is definitely the place to stay ... waking up to hear birds singing and seeing the soothing green of the trees is a true delight ... brilliant value for money ... we will definitely be returning here and have already started referring them to my family ... our expectations were far far far exceeded ...

South AfricaThe wife didnt like the big "reenspinnekop" that was in the shower, but thats to be expected in the woods.
The whole outdoor experience with monkeys in the trees and birds on the property next door. Braai and kitchen/deck area that can be used for anything. I would 100% recommend to anyone, I will be there again.

South AfricaI loved the sound of birds chirping, trees creak as they rub together, the complete privacy and the coziness of our cottage. L'auberge Country Hideaway is indeed a hideaway and a true wonder. The forest vibes looked like a picture out of a book. I'm so glad we chose this establishment to celebrate our wedding anniversary ❤️ Thank you to Tania and Alan for the amazing service.
