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 KingdomNot much - there wasn't a cork screw and the hair dryer didn't work. But I'm sure if we spoke to the hosts this would have been sorted.
Beautiful farm and very relaxing environment. Sitting in a hot tub whilst the sun is setting was bliss. Huge comfortable bed. Make sure you read the information they send out before you arrive.

KenyaThe way to the Stud is a bit rough, I don’t know if it’s the damage due to storm last month.
The hot bath tub with a view is 10/10. We love everything about this place. The room is just newly renovated and well equipped with everything especially the braai at the veranda. The bed with the electric blanket is super comfy and warm. It’s totally a nice place to stay when visiting Hemel En Aarde.

South AfricaPeace of heaven on earth and the name "Hemel & Aarde Valley" for the area are really doing the area justice. Loved going to sleep & waking up with the sound of the horses. The unit's decor are lovely with everything you need for self catering ... we enjoyed having a barbeque with our friends. The recommendations from the lodge was amazing, we really enjoyed the day trip with Wine Hoppers ... Creation was next level.

South AfricaThe location is amazing, the views exceptional. The cabin is well equipment with everything thought off. The horses lends extra energy to this experience. It's the perfect get away close enough to the city for a weekend. Our host Zani made sure we were looked well after. The wine farms in the area is so worth the visit with special thanks to the Zani for organising Bouchard Finlayson. The setting is just amazing with a beautiful platter complementing the wine tasting.

South AfricaThe hot tub takes quite long to warm up so just remember to do this at least two hours before you’re wanting to get in! The pressure in the shower wasn’t the best but not bad!
The setting was absolutely stunning! So cute and loved the wood fired hot tub! Really friendly welcome by the staff, dogs and horses. Great service with cleaning the room while we were out and about! We really enjoyed braaing which seems the best option as not much kitchen space to cook.

South AfricaEnjoyed it all. Beautiful place and lovely friendly people.
Loved the venue, the horses roaming around - very tranquil spot away from the town in the mountains. Room was beautiful - was surprised that it was quite quaint at first but everything you need is there including the little kitchen in the cupboard (loved this!). The tea, coffee, milk and fruit provided was a great touch. My only recommendation is for a fire place in the room and maybe a fire braai outside on the small patio - even though the grill is great a fire is always appreciated esp. in winter. The hot tub once they get going is brilliant. Great that the farm provides the wood and helps you get the tub started.
