How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewBeautiful setting for a very comfortable villa stay. We loved the breakfast provisions, the log fire, the under floor bathroom heating, the lovely big bed and the complimentary wine made this a real treat. We also loved looking through the kitchen garden and walking around the site. Thank you

Verified reviewStunning location, well kept grounds. Beautiful, spacious cottage we stayed in. Continental breakfast supplied in the room. Complimentary wine tasting included. Had a meal in the restaurant, great food and wine.
Perhaps a little overpriced. Full breakfast in the restaurant would have been nice

Verified reviewWe stayed in one of the cottages in the grounds of the cellar door/restaurant complex. It was just beautiful - very comfortable and well appointed. We loved everything about it, apart from the breakfast provisions. (See explanation below.)
The breakfast provisions were included in our rate, and these were supposed to be changed each day. Well, they were replenished but it was the same each day! The ‘home made granola’ turned out to be corn flakes - hardly 5 star food! But the bread and artisanal marmalade were very nice.

Verified reviewThe Craggy Range Luxury Vineyard Retreat was Exceptional ..our flight from USA was cancelled, our baggage lost and the lady of the reception done everything to help us and offer us a welcome drink at the restaurant. The view was amazing , the breakfast was so healthy with fresh produce, excellent coffee .. all amenities that you could imagine. Room was so comfortable , clean and quiet .. Top of the top.. lovely terrace. We strongly suggest to have lunch or dinner at their restaurant. We could not expect more and will come back
Top nothing ..Just one suggestion, to get USB plug to charge phone or computer ..

Verified reviewBeautiful vineyards and the te mata peak make this place so special. Loved the cellar door tasting and the restaurant too! Staffs are friendly and professional. I’d like to come back with my wine-craving friends some day.
Bit far from city center so you need a car.
