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 KingdomTaxis seemed to find it difficult to locate the reception area for pick ups when we were checking in and when leaving on our trip. On other days you could use the barrier entrance near the Cape Grace Hotel end which worked better.
Spacious well equipped apartment Great views from the balcony over the waterways. Very convenient location. Nice staff. Very safe security.

United KingdomThe power backup system made a terrible noise during the hours of sleep. The unit of the bedroom should have a separation panel to avoid any noises from kitchen dinning area. It’s more like a studio apartment than a one bedroom apartment.

United KingdomGeneral staff attitude was good but two (don't remember names) were not that helpful especially when looking for the way to the main entrance. They were not clear in their instruction/guidance. But we eventually found our way, and once we found the way to the main entrance it was easy. But it could have been better explained.
Great location with easy access to the waterfront area in Cape Town. Although quite busy, the complex was quiet. Many tourist attractions nearby, or close to tourist office where trips could and were arranged. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to travel around the Cape Town area.

United KingdomLoad shedding restrictions. Check in.
Very smart apartments near waterfront which is prime spot in CT. Some provision made for the load shedding in the apartment but became very restrictive for us using appliances when needed, however I guess that's how it is in self catering accommodation at the moment in SA. Also slightly complicated instructions for check in which may be restrictive if coming by taxi. So for this reason we opted for their airport shuttle. Overall a great place to be.

AustraliaThe double bed mattress was uncomfortable and sagging in the middle, it felt like it had seen better days! Toilet in the ensuite dripped constantly and the shower in the second bedroom could not drain properly. We had requested that both get looked at. The shower was attended too on 3 ocassions and we were assured each time that it was fixed, but it was not, as a result we were left to use one shower. No one attended the toilet at all. We gave up asking after a while. There was no safe for our use in the room as the only safe,were were told, was the owners personal safe and was locked. The glass doors to the ensuite in both bedrooms left no privacy and this was a problem each time someone wanted to use the bathroom.
The apartment was spacious and well furnished. Great outlook over the waterfront with spacious balcony to enjoy the view from. Security was excellent. Front office staff were friendly as were the security staff.

FranceIt would have been better to have had a few more kitchen utensils (plates, cups, glasses etc.) There was a dishwasher which we didn't use, because there were only 2, 3 or 4 of each item.
Superbly located, on the Waterfront canal. Very close to the lively V & A Waterfront amenities and only a short walk into the CBD. Lots of security made the place feel very safe. Apartment was spacious, well equipped (apart from kitchen utensils), good, safe parking, decent swimming pool and gym area.

United KingdomThere were a few issues with our apartment and I didn’t have the opportunity to explain to the staff as when I checked out, she was on the telephone. One of the blinds at the window wouldn’t come down so there was no privacy, the door wouldn’t always lock at the first attempt, one of the shutters in the bedroom was not attached to its fitting and in the high winds, it was banging on the wall and the shower didn’t drain so the bathroom floor was flooded. Having said that, bed was comfortable, room was a nice temperature. I would also recommend that guests are given complimentary bottles of water. We had travelled nearly 20 hours and a bottle of water in the fridge is usually a given, especially when you have paid £200 per night.
Superb location and felt very safe as security gates are prevalent and lots of security staff about. Very clean everywhere. Pools are very good and you couldn’t be closer to the V & A waterfront.
