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.).

United KingdomNothing. However the accommodation is very spread out so if you’re going as a group or want a particular view (on photos) it would be worth mentioning it to the owners. Also it’s worth being organised and taking your food (or order from the owners) it’s a long drive to the nearest shop.
Staff were very helpful, the location is beautifully quiet and the accommodation is outstanding. We loved the braai area and the hot tub/star gazing area. Zebras and antelope walking round were a highlight. A place to really switch off from it all

NetherlandsThat we had to leave.
Our stay at Aardvark Bioreserve’s Zebra Cottage was truly exceptional. The cottage is beautifully decorated and comfortable, equipped with luxury kitchen appliances, high-quality bed linen, and pure white towels and robes. The pool with a view was a big bonus. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with spices and an ice maker, made meal preparation a delight. We particularly enjoyed the fresh organic produce and free-range eggs provided by the farm. The outdoor fire-heated hot tub was very nice. The cottage is offering stunning unforgettable views of the Milky Way at night. And of course wildlife during the day, with zebras literally metres from your doorstep. We had a wonderful game drive over the impressive huge land, with stunning views. The peace and tranquility of the location, combined with the opportunity to observe zebras and elands from the comfort of the veranda, made our stay unforgettable. The exceptional attention of Annatjie and her staff, along with the contact upfront, made a difference. The hosts were incredibly hospitable, attending to our every need and even surprising us with freshly baked pie, olives, butter, chicken and homemade jam. Their passion for the farm and the Karoo is evident, and they made us feel truly welcome. Annatjie took us to their biological garden to pick their own vegetables, a nice educational experience! In every aspect, a 5/5 experience. We highly recommend Aardvark Bioreserve’s Zebra Cottage to anyone seeking a luxurious and peaceful retreat in the Klein Karoo. We look forward to returning.

Incredible, big, and spacious house and lovely hosts and owners! Loved the luxurious decor and the little hot tub outside. House has everything you can think of, and they have fresh produce on site to order. Wildlife all around. Great space for riding our bikes or going for walks! Completely private and stargazing was amazing!

South AfricaWould have been lovely to have a map with trails on it to orientate ourselves.
It was exceptionally comfortable, it catered for everything and watching the zebra, springbok and Eland was fantastic. You really just need clothes and food, and a bicycle

United KingdomEssentially nothing. Only thing we mentioned would help is a pool net to fish out bugs from the hot tub and pool.
Unbelievable view, outstanding quality in the cottage with every detail thought of. Hot tub, outdoor plunge pool. We couldn’t fault it. Service and hospitality was excellent even when we had a flat tyre on leaving!

South AfricaThe Aaarvark Bioreserve was a last-minute find for my fiance and me who were looking to escape the hectic world and relax. For me and my partner, the Klein Karoo is a special place to escape, and Aaarvark just made it even better. With a stunning private cottage, luxurious accommodations, a hot tub under the karoo sky, and outstanding service, everything is just perfect. You can use fresh produce from the large vegetable garden, and Aneli made us some delicious vet koek and fig jam. Don't forget to order your karoo meat directly from Aneli. Nothing like karoo lamb chops, ostrich wors on a braai in the karoo while watching the Curry Cup rugby. The staff were so friendly and professional, and nothing was too much trouble. It is a wonderful experience to take a walk on the many trails, especially when you see the beautiful animals that are privileged to live here. We cannot wait to visit again soon.
