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...).

I actually dont want to do this review, because I might never get place in this establishment, because, if you read this review you might just change your accomodation, to stay here next time. Most of the times I book trips I read reviews to make sure my choice is right. Sometimes it good but mostly I found that there are rwviews that are done to be nice to the establiahment. This review is not one of those. From the moment we stopped in front of Patcham place and Liliput, we fealt so at home, even better. Tim and Johan must be the greatest hosts in this industry. This place is not just the ordinary, clean , comfortable, B&B we are used to, it is so so much more. It is the cleanest, most comfartable place ever. It is new and smella good, the bedding is the best handpicked, 400+ thread 100% cotton on a very large most comfortable queen to King size bed. The soaps, the whitest , crispiest, white linen to towels and not just 1, a few towels, changed daily. The room is like a haven, with the most beautiful and modern headboard,, real rusks , coffee and comp water every day. I have traveled extensively and was looking for something out of place, but the one after the other surprise poped up continiously. Then go to breakfast after a good nights sleep, oh my word, you will then agree with us that this place is something else, everything is so fresh and proudly presented. You'll want for nothing here. In anycase, I have been to 5 star hotels and what you get a Patcham place and Lilput, can stand proud and mostly compare and or beat this, but the personal attention you cannot compare to anything out there. The place is clean, smells nice, propper 2 ply toilet paper, enough propper designer soap and shampoo, make up removers, face cloths, complimentary, slippers, go try it, if you can get a booking, the experience is something out of this world

South AfricaThe new owners Tim and Johan have done an amazing job of upgrading the rooms.....what a difference!!! They are absolutely amazing hosts and the rest of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, as you literally park your car and you can walk to all the restaurants and shops. My wife and I have stayed at a number of places in Clarens over the years, but will most definitely be back.

South AfricaWe were pleasantly surprised and equally impressed by the attention to detail that Johan and Tim have put into making our stay at the guesthouse more pleasant and comfortable than we could imagine. The room was very clean and provided all of the amenities that were listed, along with some thoughtful additions like the bottles of water provided daily after the room service. There was not a single item or improvement that we could think of adding to the rooms to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable as it was. The service and hospitality was excellent, and we particularly enjoyed the personal touch of the delicious breakfasts prepared by Tim, as well as the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the guesthouse. The location was great, with a stunning view of the mountains and surrounding nature reserve. Johan and Tim went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay possible, and we would highly recommend Patcham Place & Lilliput House to anyone wanting a weekend getaway in Clarens.

United KingdomThe warm welcome from Timothy matches the beautiful comfortable room that has everything you would need. A lot of thought and care has gone into the details: the umbrellas in the cupboard, the corkscrew by the wineglasses and the fresh roses on our breakfast table. A wonderful stay

South AfricaThe place has 6 rooms. They are close to each other so if you really want alone tyen maybe not for you.
This place is neat and weel run. The place is well located. Johan and Tim are excellent hosts. They were very helpful. Tim is the cook and Johan is the Public relations officer. They make a great team and were warm and very engaging. Johan also guided us about place to see and places to eat AND made a booking for us at clementines. Breakfast is a glorious affair with both hosts present in a very grand and well appointed room. Well done PATCHAM others will have to follow your lead.
