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 AfricaNothing at all.. every aspect exceeded our expectations
Moolmanshoek is a little piece of exceptional Eden in the Free State.. We enjoyed our stay to such a degree that we intend returning in March already. The old school sincere hospitality and truly touching nature of the staff was incredible.

South AfricaIf you are not a rider, facilities are limited - but this being said it means you can just relax and rest or go for a walk. I think a new swimming pool area near the lodge would add lots to the experience
This is an incredibly special place. You are welcomed onto the farm and into a family who has been on the land for generations. The scenery and riding is just spectacular. The staff, service and food was all just incredible

South AfricaNothing! Maybe a more detailed explanation of activities could be useful, as not everything is listed: for example detailed maps of the hiking trails, and possibilities of doing longer horse trails to see more game.
Excellent hospitality and food! The horses are wonderful and sure-footed. We did not want to leave ☺️

Going to Moolmanshoek is like entering a secluded wonder world where beautiful horses wander around and the scenery is just breathtaking. It is the perfect place for a quiet weekend away where one is spoiled with amazing food and wonderful service. Do remember to book the picnic - it is a magical experience for a couple or family!

South AfricaAbolutely nothing, everything was perfect. It would be a bit difficult for physical disabled persons to get along, but not impossible.
We felt special since the moment we arrived. The host greeted us at the car as we parked. It was my mom's birthday weekend and Mafie and her team went out of their way to make it really special. The weekend was in the heart of winter, but we had a fireplace in the room which they lit for us. With underfloor heating and an electric blanket we did not sleep cold at all. Breakfast and dinner was well prepared and presented, and delicious as well. Just loved the breakfast choices! We went for short walks, as well as a ride on the horse cart. We are not riders, but the horses are absolutely stunning. It is the perfect setting for just about anything. Absolutely recommend Moolmanshoek, you won't be disappointed. And the whole team can take credit for making this such an unforgettable experience.
