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...).

United StatesThe breakfasts served were delicious, with homemade breads and preserves in addition to a vast assortment of fruits, cereals, meats, cheeses, and eggs. To wake up and come out to a toasty fire warming us in the morning chill was beyond wonderful!

South AfricaAlland and his wife Yvonne were two really really nice hosts! I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The breakfast was amazing! And the whole area around Allans Wine House, his "own garden" is a such a beautiful place where you can enjoy yourself with a glass of good Chanteclair wine :)! Thank you so so much to the whole L'Auberge Chanteclair Team for making my stay so enjoyable😊!

SingaporeAlan and Yvonne were wonderful hosts that helped us find spots to make dinner reservations even before we’d arrived. They’re super well versed in the area and take great pride in the property and being great hosts. The room was well appointed with plunger coffee, cookies, rusks and shower products. particularly loved the bed and gorgeous sky outside our window. Their wine is also great and the property overall has so much charm. Delicious and generous breakfast too.

South AfricaEverything was absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations- nothing to complain about.
As we drove in through the front gate, we knew that our stay at L'Auberge Chanteclair would be memorable. The property location is amazing, and we enjoyed strolling around the vines taking in the scenery. The accommodation was comfortable and the facilities are great. The morning breakfast on the terrace or in the dining room will not disappoint- we enjoyed the homemade goodies like fruit and honey from the property. Drinking the wine made from the vines on the property while sitting on the patio looking across the valley cannot be beaten. Finally, a wonderful location such as this cannot be run without great people- Allan and Yvonne run a wonderful location together with their team of friendly and attentive staff. Ten out of ten!

The location for us was great, not in the city center with beautiful mountain views, peace and quietness but still 10/15 min walking to the main street with all the restaurants, shops and wine train.

RussiaI recently had a fantastic two-night stay at L'Auberge Chanteclair and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable getaway. Although it wasn't a luxurious place, but it offered great value for money. The highlight of my stay was definitely the pool, which was clean and refreshing, and provided the perfect place to relax and cool off on a hot day. I also appreciated the complimentary glass of wine in the lounge, which was a nice touch and added to the overall feeling of hospitality. The room was cozy and well-maintained, with all the amenities one could need, including comfortable bedding and a flat-screen TV. The staff were friendly and attentive, and always available to provide recommendations or answer any questions. Overall, my stay at L'Auberge Chanteclair was a great experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable retreat. Whether you're looking to spend your days lounging by the pool or exploring the local area, this hotel has everything you need for an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
