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 AfricaThe location is brilliant. Super close to the town square, and the epitome of luxury! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Dineo welcomed us, with a friendly face, and we stayed in a beautiful room, with a stunning view of the mountain range, elite finishes, and well stocked for everything needed for the stay. We also had breakfast there, which was scrumptious, and in such beautifully decorated spaces. We were treated like royalty! A wonderful stay all round.

We stayed in the cottage and it was absolutely beautiful and had everything we wanted! Second time booking at the cottage and will definitely do so again. Dineo was a darling and looked after us so nicely, even gave recommendations of what to do every day. Breakfast was delicious and made with love. And there was even cake available for breakfast! 😍

FranceNothing at all, everything was JUST PERFECT! Thank you folks for your friendly welcome and your commitment to quality and whole-heartedness - this being the essence of life and happiness. Tim, we wish you all the very best in your forthcoming endeavours!
A most charming place in a quiet and gorgeous environment. Clarens is a must if you want to relax off the beaten tracks and enjoy nature in its brightest beauty. We loved the venue which is so comfortable and was like a family home to us. Tim is a fantastic host who will pay attention to every detail (the sherry decanter in our room was greatly appreciated) and will go the extra mile to meet your expectations. Guests will enjoy a delicious, home-made breakfast in a lovely room overlooking a well-kept garden with mountains in the background: here again the food and service are perfect. We would have dinner at Clementines, a lovely restaurant down the street and our headquarters for the whole duration of our stay at Clarens. If you don't have a car and want to travel around (especially trips to nearby Lesotho) don't fail to contact Maluti Tours and talk to Shane, an enthusiastic entrepreneur and great soul, who will offer you a thrilling experience of South Africa. THANKS TO ALL!

South AfricaThe host, Tim, was absolutely charming. He was warm and welcoming and cooked the most exquisite breakfasts. The staff were friendly and accomodating. The view from the breakfast patio is absolutely breathtaking. A quiet and romantic spot. Complimentary tea, coffee, bottled water, rusks and sherry were a treat. As was the electric blanket and air conditioner for extra warmth during the cold winter months. Beautiful room with so much attention to detail throughout. The perfect location if you're looking to be close to the Clarens village.

South AfricaWould have loved the bedding changed daily but it's only changed per a stay though it's minor, just dusted bed again and it was ok.
The host Tim and his team took such good care of us. Attention to detail is what comes to mind. The accomodation is a 2 Min walk to the city centre. Hiking trails start 2 Min away. Lots of lady bugs in the winter coming in to get warm.

South AfricaFrom the moment we arrived at Patcham Place in Clarens, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, Tim, whose friendliness and hospitality set the tone for a truly lovely stay. Our room was beautifully decorated, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom had reliable hot water—which was much appreciated during the chilly evenings. The air conditioning kept the space perfectly warm, and waking up to a stunning view of nature from our bedroom balcony was pure magic. All the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, always going out of their way to make us feel at home. A real highlight was the breakfast each morning—absolutely delicious and clearly prepared with care. Every detail of our stay made it memorable. We loved our time at Patcham Place and would gladly return.

From the warm greeting as we arrived to our well managed departure, Patcham Place & Lilliput House over-delivered. The room is spacious, quiet and very well appointed. The shared area and breakfast setting is exquisite. And Tim's breakfast was of a restaurant quality. A memorable stay in the beautiful village of Clarens. As recommended by the host, Clementine's restaurant just up the road served a wonderful dinner.
