Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomVery minor but I struggled to open the door out to the main terrace on some occasions.
I loved the views, both from the main terrace overlooking the sea, and my room terrace which overlooked the twelve apostles. I loved the decor of the rooms and living room. The breakfast was very generous and delicious and it was super helpful to have the option to take a voucher to a local cafe on the day that we got up early for a parkrun. Wolfgang and Suzanne were very welcoming and I really appreciated their flexibility to let me stay until mid afternoon when my transfer picked me up.

PolandThe bed could be bigger.
Bakovenbay Luxury Suites is a great choice. An intimate property, located in a quiet area. Super nice and helpful hosts. Tasty and very nicely served breakfast seated on the terrace or in the common area. A nice terrace with sun loungers and a jacuzzi overlooking the mountains and the ocean. Garage available if you have a car. Overall a very nice experience - highly recommended!

SwedenEverything seems to be said already. This is a really, really nice place to stay in, both the house itself and Camps Bay. Cosy, spacious room with a fantastic view, delicious breakfast, a big garage in the house should one need it and even an elevator! Lots of advice about what to do and where to eat. Suzanne and Wolfgang have created a home away from home.

IndiaWe had the best stay at Bakovenbay. Wolfe and Suzanne were such gracious hosts and were always available and incredibly responsive! The view from our room was a treat to our eyes! ❤️ The room was very clean and all amenities mentioned in the property details are very accurate. This area is comparatively safer than the city side. Would 100% recommend this property to everyone. 👍

This establishment is truly exceptional. While the room itself may be modest in size, it is super cozy. The common area has a museum-like vibe, but is still great to chill and relax. The balcony has an amazing view. The hosts are super friendly and helpful, which contributes significantly to the overall positive atmosphere.

I liked everything about my stay and I would highly recommend staying here! The owners are super friendly and very hospitable. The location is great. You can easily walk to Camps Bay or catch an Uber which is cheap. My room had an amazing view of Lion's Head which I loved waking up to everyday. The breakfast was also superb! It was also really nice relaxing on the sun beds and having a dip in the plunge pool.

United KingdomAll good.
Bakovenbay Luxury suites accommodation is very professionally run and is a great place to base yourself if visiting Cape Town. Breakfast is excellent and has a choice of fresh fruit, rolls, cereals etc or if you prefer a cooked breakfast you can take your breakfast any time of the day at the Bootlegger Cafe just down the hill from the house with a voucher provided if that is your preference. Wolfgang and his wife are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Camps Bay offers good beach and restaurants and the Red hop on off bus stop is quite close to the house and is a must if new to the area. There are three rooms one facing the sea, and two in the rear of the property overlooking Table Mountain and Loins Head with pleasant balconies. We had a mountain view room which was very comfortable, with good shower and room facilities. We stayed 8 nights and were sad to leave and if in Cape Town again this is where we will look first for accommodation.
