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...).

IndonesiaThe scenery was amazing, nothing better than relaxing in the hot tub and seeing the farm animals in the distance do their thing, nice little walks with great views aswell. Also, really nice facilities such as the braai, comfortable bathroom as well as a nespresso machine, which isn't necessary but a really nice touch added by the owners.

BelgiumThe bungalow was exceptional! We celebrated our honeymoon, and they surprised us with rose petals, champagne, and a lit fireplace when we arrived. The whole farm is beautiful, and the view is absolutely stunning! The kolkol is a great place to relax on a cold winter's night.

South AfricaNothing, everything was great!
Everything was magnificent. From the stuck away location in the peaceful Hemel n Aarde valley to the spacious room and awesome wood fired hot tub. The staff were friendly and the horses, too! Nothing was too much trouble from additional towels, to extra coffee pods and glasses. The hot tub was definitely the highlight of our trip. We will be back soon!

South AfricaStaying at Hemel 'n Aarde Stud farm was an amazing experience. The cabin was super cosy and had the perfect mixture of rustic charm and modern comfort. Waking up to views of the fields and horses was incredible, and we loved taking walks around the property. What a perfect spot for a peaceful getaway!

South AfricaThe hot tub is a bit tricky to heat up but it's something we've now mastered.
Really appreciated the small details such as many blankets/ loads of fire wood and goodies in the kitchen. The host was helpful with providing what we needed to make it a great weekend away. Would highly recommend.

South AfricaWould've loved to have a fireplace to braai instead of a gas grill (but it's just our personal preference). We were a bit disappointed that we couldn't watch the rugby in our room (but it's not a deal breaker, we're just big rugby fans).
Everything was lovely. We really enjoyed the hot tub and we loved all the sweet dogs on the farm. Loved the fact that there are electric blankets on the bed and a heater. The variety of coffee and the rusks is a very nice extra.
