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...).

South AfricaWell maintained property in most respects, and all the rooms have beautiful views of the lake and vineyards, but we believe that the most expensive rooms do not warrant the extra costs incurred. It is intentionally not equipped for self catering because of the pizzeria on the property, but having a glass of wine on the porch in the evening, cannot easily be done if you want cheese and biscuits as an accompaniment.

South AfricaNothing but would recommend you bring some insect repellent with you.
We had a wonderful stay at Under Oaks travelling with relatives from Germany. It exceeded our expectations. The location is beautiful and quiet. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed the morning walk through the vineyards to get to the breakfast. We visited the restaurant on the premises but would advise that you book as it does get busy. If possible book a room with the terrace/patio. Definitely worth it.

United KingdomHaving to drive from the guest house to the main building for all meals was a bit of a bind especially when breakfast was only until 9.30am. We are not normally early risers so had to adjust our routine quite a lot.
Good room, good breakfast, good dinner in the pizzeria. Complimentary wine tasting and the opportunity to buy some excellent wine not available in the supermarket.

ZimbabweI wouldn't recommend this place to a person who is not driving their personal vehicle. The walk from the guest house to the Pizzeria or the manor house where you eat breakfast is far for walking. the other night whilst my wife and i were walking to our guest house from the Pizzeria after having dinner there, we were attacked by a dog, i am not sure if it was a stray dog or a dog from the estate but it was a traumatic experience, Fortunately none of us were bit during the attack. Collette was nice and comforted us.
The place is beautiful and the rooms and are what they show on the pictures. The swimming pool was nice and the views were breathtaking, the Pizzeria on the Estate has some of the best Pizzas i have ever eaten and the wine is equally good. Collette is a great host

South AfricaIt gets a bit cold with the rooms situated next to the dam, if they can just include an extra blanket/electric blanket it will be fantastic!
The setting is very beautiful, the rooms are luxurious and comfortable. The staff are friendly and very helpful and the breakfast each morning was not only very delicious but also interesting. The accommodation is situated on a farm and there are security guards with dogs that patrol the property ensuring your safety. All in all it was a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!

South AfricaOn this occasion, we had rather noisy neighbours, whom we could hear through the walls - not the fault of Seven Oaks, but we realised the rooms were not as soundproof as previously thought. The bed in our unit on this occasion was not as comfortable as we are used to - think the matrass is near the end of its life.
Breakfast very tasty and well presented. sufficient variety to suit every taste. Units are beautifully decorated and very comfortable, with a lovely view over the little dam. We love the location of Under Oaks - ideal for exploring the area - it is why we keep coming back! Staff helpful and friendly too.
