Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

South AfricaNot a deal breaker but the geyser was really hard to set a cool enough water temperature. It was either too hot or too cold
We really enjoyed our stay at Penwarm Farm, the facilities were amazing. Enjoyed waking up to the beautiful sounds of birds. The Mountain View’s from the cabin are beautiful, walking around the farm was also quite refreshing, with the animals and attractions on the farm.

QatarThe terrain to get the property was not the best. A lot of gravel. They should make it more smooth for cars.
It was a beautiful. It was a good getaway for the weekend. A little social media detox and great bonding with the family.

South AfricaThe fact that there's no network was one of the things I didn't particularly like. I know they do mention this, but there was completely no reception at all.
I enjoyed the quietness and the facilities around. The house was spacious and came with everything one needs for a self-catering unit. Besides the cold weather, everything was just perfect. They provide wifi, but its very weak, so just be prepared for being off the grid. The staff are amazingly nice. Winter is extremely cold, but I love that they provide an electric blanket, and there's a fireplace in the unit. Make sure to take an extra blanket. I would definitely go back in the summertime.

Such a great property, friendly staff, pleasant and breathtaking views- worth the trip to break away from civilisation.

South Africa1. Lack of cupboards, as we are a family who likes to pack our clothes, groceries and bags neatly in a cupboard. 2. Shower could use an upgrade. 3. Bathroom is big enough to accommodate a bath, having a bath would be a great option to have especially when traveling with little ones. 4. Road coming in can be made a bit better because it is quite a bit worse than the gravel road driving towards the farm.
1. Beautiful scenery. 2. Friendly and helpful staff. 3. Heater in the bathroom. 4. Electric blankets and fireplace

South AfricaThe drive. But only because our vehicle was not suitable and we arrived when it started getting dark.
This is a beautiful getaway. The staff,especially our host was amazing. No unnecessary rules and regulations that leave one irritated before even getting there. The units have everything. The place is clean and so well maintained. Penwarn farm is definitely a fave among my family members. We will definitely be returning.

South AfricaThe only thing we can possibly fault Penwarn on is the road getting in. Eek! Don't drive a low-suspension vehicle here. We also preferred the route Google sent us on to the back gate as it's actually a safer road. It was a good giggle going through the bumpy terrain.
The view.... the sky - I was absolutely speechless! Every single time we looked out, it was like something out of a Renaissance painting. The rooms were warm and the beds; soft and luxurious. I LOVE that the wood comes in an enormous bag so that you don't have to buy 20 of them. My kids were completely free to run around, play on the jungle gym, and they even enjoyed a short hike with us :D It was definitely one of the most memorable weekends we've ever had! Simple and beautiful!

South AfricaWe went in summer but arrived just when it had been raining for a week, the roads were super muddy and slippery to drive on so we had to go extra slow. We would have preferred heaters to the fireplace as the entire apartment was really smokey which was very uncomfortable whilst sleeping.
So beautiful! It was very tranquil and quiet relaxing. It’s a hidden gem with all the amenities you need to get by comfortably. It is very well maintained and the service staff were just amazing. If you want to get away and go offline for a while - this is the place to do just that. Rest, relax and reset!
