How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWell where do I start, upgraded to another room due to our geyser not working, defo not an upgrade. Windows leaking, gas ran out, not enough blitz to start a fire, wet wood, no scissors or any utensils for just in case, no cupboard, no microwave, shower not hot enough. A series of tragic events, also no one really manning the cell number properly. WiFi was terrible. Then moved back to our original place and have to ask for a bath plug to bath. Not great
Quite a few things as above, breakfast oats, no nuts, tasteless. This farm needs better management and hospitality.

Verified reviewThe Fisherman’s Cottage was a delight. Small but great for a one night stay. Loved the personal touches - a warm note from the team and lavender flowers dotted throughout.
A desk would have been welcome. The very bright lights on the front of the main building diminished the impact of our stargazing.

Verified reviewWe loved our night in Fisherman's cottage, nestled away at the bottom of the garden with stunning views and a comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The shower was rather difficult to control, burning hot or freezing cold but we enjoyed the fact it was open to the sky.

Verified reviewFrindly staff and beautuiful setting. Nice big pool.
We are South Africans and really expected to be able to braai as it is an inherent part of our culture. While beautiful braai facilities are visible on all pictures and the description of our cottage is that the indoor fire place is its central feature, no wood was provided and no braaing is allowed on the property. We were told that this is due to foot traffic that needs to be creatwd for 2 restaurants on the property, but having already selected to use the accommodation guests should be able to select their preference in terms of dining options.
Der Nicole, Thank you for your feedback, we were delighted to count you among our guests. We are sorry to read our room description did not meet your expectations. We do need to precise that none of our rooms and cottages are self catering. Some guesthouses do offer it clearly on their page, which is not our case. Yes, on the pictures you can see a braai facility but it is used as a "deco element". The braaing has been forbidden for a few years now due to the fynbos vegetation around and the thatch roof as we have explained on site. We wish you and your family a lovely festive season. Best regards from us all, The Springfontein Crew
