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):
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.
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.).

South AfricaI don’t think that the food at the restaurant is truly on par with the calibre of the establishment. Perhaps a variation at breakfast and better tasting meals for lunch and dinner.
The staff is friendly. The attention to detail is exceptional. The facilities are clean and aesthetically pleasing. Rich with history.

United KingdomBreakfast and Deli are great but the other restaurant offering less so for this level of hotel, both in terms of service and food quality.
Beautiful hotel in lovely quiet surroundings but only 10 mins drive from the centre of lively Stellenbosch. Lovely room with outstanding bathroom. Helpful and friendly staff, especially welcome/concierge/transport team. Lovely to have the main pool and smaller pool near the room as a quieter option. Deli always a highlight, Tiphuis restaurant less so

United KingdomWe ate in the restaurant and had a wonderful main course but the Eton Mess was disappointing, the chef could do with using a different recipe for meringue, this was made with macaroon , hard and tasteless. The girl who did our wine tasting was not the most friendly. Certain products in our room were not replenished such as the English breakfast tea bags … a must for my husband, fortunately I had some with me .
Great location very peaceful Most of the staff wonderful, particularly at reception and the driver who took us into Stellenbosch Had the best pork belly in the restaurant I’ve ever eaten.

United KingdomExceptional service and fantastic customer service throughout. We loved our stay - room and bathroom were gorgeous, patio to relax in and breakfast was superb. Food / wine tasting also very good - we enjoyed the cellar tour. We enjoyed the spa and pool area too. Staff super friendly. Definitely recommend for a taste of luxury whilst in Stellenbosch (shuttle service also handy!) and look out for the owls! X

SwedenStaff at reception were not friendly at all in comparison to everywhere else we have stayed in SA. Not a can do attitude but more doing bare minimum. If they were nicer it would have been rated even higher but they let us down for 5 star. They were unhelpful and really didn’t feel happy to be there. Also the bedrooms are paper thin walls so you can hear every conversation in the room next to you. This is very annoying and nothing you can do about it.
Beautiful grounds, pool area and spa! You can really relax and enjoy. We loved it! Nice you get to try the wines there and the rooms are nice and large. Huge bed which was great. Mini bar was topped up every day and we got to try a lot of their wines! Waiters and waitresses were lovely.
