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...).

Best breakfast we had in South Africa. The hotel is close to the restaurants and we walked for the first time in or trip to a restaurant. In other regions in South Africa this was not recommended. We really liked the room and the beds were very comfortable.

SwitzerlandThe room is a bit on the small side and not very bright during the day. Also the blinds don’t fully block out the porch lights outside.

SwitzerlandDon’t do bookings for Franschhoek-visits via the Guesthouse. One of the employees has her side business for tours in the area (which we found out only after the trip) and it is heavily overpriced.

AustraliaNothing to dislike. We would prefer the rooms to be darker for sleeping. The room on the verandah was particularly light with security lights.
Beautiful place and lovely breakfast. Great position for walking around Franshoek. We particularly enjoyed the wine tasting with the very well informed lady.

New ZealandIt happened that I paid twice when I only tried to check booking. I would expect somebody to put 2 and 2 together. If you see anothet booking for the same person at the same time I would hope someone would have the intelligence to check with the customer. So in fact I ended up paying a huge amount of money. That was very disappointing.
Welcome, stylish decor, tranquility and excellent breakfast.

United KingdomThe bedroom window had wooden slatted blinds and unfortunately there was an outside light right outside our window , so the bedroom was lit up all night . I like to have darkness to sleep well ! The addition of a dark curtain would fix this easily !
Location , very pretty and quaint outside , but very modern , minimalist rooms inside . Not huge room , but more than adequate for a couple of nights stay . ours was Sauvignon Blanc. New modern en suite bathroom
