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.).

South AfricaThe microwave in the apartment is needled. I prefer warm milk with my coffee. The road to the farm needs to be worked upon. Without a 4x4 vehicle, it is quite hectic.
Breakfast was great. Waitron and chef were extremely accommodating of my special dietary requirements. Lovely.

ReunionI would like to sincerely thank Ardmore Guest Farm for our wonderful stay. My fiancee and I spent two nights there and loved absolutely everything about the place: the warm welcome, the rustic charm of the farm combined with modern comfort, our beautiful room (the Zulu suite, which we were even upgraded to!) with its thatched roof, and the restaurant with its delicious food and the wine’s excellent recommendations. Every member of the team was incredibly kind and helpful — a real pleasure. Highly recommended if you’re visiting the stunning Drakensberg mountain region! Thanks again to the staff, Dimitri and Aude

South AfricaWe had the pleasure of staying at Ardmore Guest Farm from 21–23 March, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The serene nature surrounding the farm, coupled with the charming presence of the animals, created such a peaceful and rejuvenating escape. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. A special thank you to Jason, Mandoza, and Sindi for their outstanding hospitality and attentiveness. Their warm, friendly demeanor truly made us feel at home. If you’re looking for a getaway that combines beautiful nature, delightful animals, and exceptional service, I can’t recommend Ardmore Guest Farm enough. This is a place I’ll fondly remember and eagerly look forward to visiting again!

South AfricaIt’s a longish way on the gravel road. The trees at the Rhino cottage are overgrown and hide the views from both down and upstairs.
It’s a beautiful farm with live animals and very friendly people (staff). The cottages are private so you don’t bother or be bothered by your neighbours.
