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 AfricaThe manor house is desolate during the day. When we went up for a swim, there was literally no one. That was not very inviting. The electricity tripped twice, and we didn't have hot water for a bit. We contacted the nr on booking.com, but it went to voicemail, and no one replied to our message. It was not out for long, but not getting any reply is not great.
Cottage was perfect but it was sad to see the disrepair of the boma and facilities in front of the cottage - bontebok. The breakfast was exceptional and the manor house is beautiful. We loved Franchhoek. It was a sublime 2 days of food, wine and hiking.

ThailandIt's quite hard when you first went to the accommodation. It's located in very big Wineland consists of many accommodation inside. You should contact the accommodation to let a staff pick you at the gate.
Staying at Chamonix is highlight in our honeymoon trip. Room, facilities, landscape and atmosphere are marvellous.

South AfricaThe lodge could do with some maintenance and a revamp. Visible holes in the thatch roof and some of the decor getting a bit old and worn. Some basic information on Franschhoek, the set up of the farm would be helpful, as well as better directions to find the lodge.
Set in a quiet location, with beautiful views across the vinyards and valley.

South AfricaThe room only needs a fridge, thats all. But its PERFECT!
The location is just exceptional, its difficult to put it into words Chamonix is simply breathtaking. Nestled at the base of a majestic mountain, this working wine farm is a sanctuary of lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. The way the clouds drape over the mountain, like satin or chiffon, creates a scene so serene and otherworldly that you can feel the stress melt away the moment you arrive. The accommodation itself is exquisite. Spacious, tastefully designed rooms and bathrooms offer both comfort and luxury. We stayed in the Marco Polo room, which opens onto a large patio with the mountain as a backdrop—a perfect spot to sip my morning coffee, listen to the birds, and soak in the beauty of nature. The staff at Chamonix are warm and welcoming, with special mention to Belwyn, who was the epitome of hospitality and professionalism. Breakfast was hearty and delicious, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead. The pool area is also immaculately maintained, offering another peaceful retreat. The only minor drawback is the absence of a fridge in the room. While breakfast is provided, guests may find themselves needing to drive into town for meals or snacks later in the day. That being said, this small inconvenience pales in comparison to the sheer beauty and tranquility that Chamonix offers. I would return in a heartbeat. This place is truly a hidden gem—a little slice of heaven on earth.
