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 AfricaThe only problem was road noise from the main road, it is not quiet.
The self-catering of the facility is excellent, best stocked with required needed appliance and equipment of for a great stay. The people are great and scenery very nice.

South AfricaLovely weekend getaway close to Dullstroom. Beautiful location. We stayed in a comfortable homely unit called Cozy. It has a farm house style vibe with a nice fireplace. Our hosts Sanette and Keron were friendly and down to earth. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

South AfricaLeaving...
Schaefer's Halt is beautiful - even in bare winter - a real retreat with loads of gems to capture on canvas; lovely walks to unwind in nature, or relax on a bench with a view. Owners Keron and Senette are attentive, friendly, and generous with their efforts to ensure their visitors' comfort. I stayed in the Snug - the smallest unit - and it was perfect for my purpose (the fireplace worked overtime:-)).It is stylishly decorated with nostalgic reminders of its noteworthy history. Can't wait to see how it flourishes in the summer.

South AfricaNothing really
Although 20 minutes out of Dullstroom, this is a perfect country getaway. The owners have done well balancing luxury and rustic feel. The well marked 3km trail to a waterfall was a highlight. We stayed in the snug cottage which is just that...small but snug with a fireplace in the bedroom for those cold winter nights. Beautiful surroundings with three smallish dams on the property. Very friendly hosts made us feel welcome. A must stay for anyone wanting to get away into the countryside for a weekend.
