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 AfricaAlthough we arrived much later than expected and had to check in late at night, we were warmly welcomed and were able to enjoy a relaxed dinner. Breakfast was also absolutely delicious. The next morning, the weather had cleared up and we could finally see the surroundings—it was a vast, peaceful area with a wonderful atmosphere. Our children were delighted too. Thank you very much for your kind hospitality. Next time we visit Kruger, we would love to stay here for a night before heading there.

Germany-
Our stay here was simply wonderful. Everything was enough for us. You won't find any luxury or excessive furnishings. You will find peace, warmth and homecoming. The food is excellent! No shikkimikki, but high-quality dishes made by hand and heart. Warm hosts. Pure peace and quiet. Relaxation. A very comfortable bed. Nature and walks. A wonderful conversation. We would love to come back and thank you for this wonderful time and wish you all the best for the future! Thank you for the Red Intuition Rose to my Birthday and the handmade Marmelade. 🫶

UkraineA bit warm in the room (no airco, no fan). But in general was quite a nice evening. And the road leading to the farm is not so difficult (we arrived just before dark)
Very nice people. We were informed there are no shops around so we were prepared. We bought some products from the farm. We could choose our bedroom and the communal place (kitchen, eating and sitting) was huge.

United StatesAbsolutely pleasant stay on a farm. Dinner and breakfast was cooked for us and was splendid, though you can also self-cater and cook in the shared kitchen. The lodging area has 4 or so different rooms and a large common room, common porch, and common kitchen; though each sleeping quarters has its own toilet and shower or tub. Too bad there were no other guests! The farm animals and chirping birds made our evening and morning, and even the smiling farm dog came to visit. There is a nice way to walk about and stretch your legs safely.

GermanyWith many nice hiking trails for short and long walks with 2 natural waterfalls. We had time for one only, so the next will be for our next visit ;) The heating, washing and kitchen facilities made our stay totally cozy. On top we got a lot of organic veggies from the garden and some delicateses (lamb meat, fresh milk & yogurt and hand made syrups) from the farm of the owners. Our daughter was delighted with all the animals, especially with the cute Dog (which was showing us some of the trails ;) and with the 2 Cats in the house of the owners. We had a perfect rest in that refreshing and peaceful place. Thank you with great Respect!
