Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 AfricaThe accommodation was very clean, spacious, the swimming pool was divine. The nature and tranquility of the place was amazing. Our host was delightful and extremely knowledgeable. If it was closer to our home we would be there every weekend. The landscape is absolutely gorgeous.

South AfricaWe could not stay longer
Other worldly. For all those adventurous couples this destination may be a little out of the way from Kakamas but so worth the trip. The scenery, the hosts, the cottage is more than expected. We were able to do many activities from 4 x 4 drive to the most amazing lookout point - hot springs in Riemvasmaak, the wine/gin/brandy tasting at De Mas in Kakamas were easy to access but the drive into the Augrabies by Angelo of Daberas, the warm weather, stars at night, the rose quartz dazzle were food for the soul. Will be back!

If you ever want to experience a really quiet and special accommodation, you have to come here to Hanneke, Kobus and Angelo. Warm and helpful hosts with great tips of what to do locally, really nice accommodations (we had the pleasure of using both) and the wonderful serenity were great. The loudest noises around the campfire in the evening were the crackling of the firewood and the clinking of the ice cubes in the glass - and that with a spectacular starry sky. Simply fantastic. We've experienced a lot on our travels - and it really is one of our accommodation highlights. And if you're here - don't miss the great fillet when Hanneke offers it to you. We had a great time - many thanks to you three. Hope to see you again.

South AfricaThis is one of the best accommodation I have stayed at and thus nothing to change
Breakfast was not included but waking up in this beautiful venue makes up for the lack of breakfast . Hostess friendly and facilities are very neat . Braaing facilities are fantastic so take time to put your steak on the fire in the outside lapa

United KingdomWe returned to stay at Daberas because of its unique situation and the starkness of the surrounding desert landscape. We repeated the sundowner trip, an absolute must, a two hour plus return trip to a world class view to watch the sun go down whilst sipping a glass of wine. Magic!

Daberas Farm is an absolutely stunning location, remote and peaceful, and right next to the Augrabies National Park. Ebony Lodge was well appointed, with beautiful furniture and outdoor/ braai area. Would have loved to be there for summer and use the outdoor bathroom. Hannecke was extremely helpful, and offered for her husband to take us on an evening drive through the 4x4 trail as our vehicle wouldn’t make it. The drive was an absolute highlight of my time in this part of the country, and can’t recommend staying here enough

NetherlandsEverything was great.
The location was unique. The lodge was the only building in tens of kilometers. The Augrabies terrain is very rough. Daberas can only be reached via a 50 km dirt road with fences that have to opened and closed and that is en adventure in it self. We made splendid trips in the surroundings amongst which the unique Oranje river. The service was friendly and good. Meals were included, they were of good quality and prepared after consultation of preference. Daberas is a unique lodge. There is not a soul in all directions.

South AfricaWe had a lovely stay at the farm and we were all very impressed with the lodge we stayed in and the afternoon sunset drive. On our arrival we were welcomed by Nerina and she gave us a tour of the unit explaining how everything worked and showed us the 4 x 4 adventure map on all the places we could visit on the property. We thoroughly enjoyed the 4x4 adventure which included dry river beds, views and stunning terrain. Thank you for the lovely stay. Cook family
