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 are 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 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 would prefer if both tea and coffee can be placed inside the room. Currently only the coffee is offered inside the room and tea is only served int he main area outside the room - a bit of an incovenience.

SwitzerlandIf you are sensitive to noise, keep in mind it is an old building so you might hear other guests in the morning.
We loved the cottage! It has been renovated with a lot of taste, keeping the elegance of an old, Victorian building while bringing comfort and cozyness. Pamela and the staff were very nice and helpful. The location is great to explore Cape Town, close to the mountains and 5 min away from the restaurant area.

South AfricaBy far one of the best places I've stayed at in CPT. It's the type of hidden gem you want to keep to yourself but also tell the whole world about. Incredible hosts, divine breakfast, perfect location (quiet yet within easy reach to the buzz of the city).

NetherlandsWas promised that loadshedding doesn't affect the property but the power was off from 11pm to 7am. Geyser heats up the water on demand so couldn't take a warm shower once the power was off... this was in the middle of winter. The next morning the manager was completely indifferent when I mentioned it i.e. no apology or understanding at all.

South AfricaOur room no 5 became execptional warm during both day and nigth ... and very transparent of all sounds to room 4 :( .A missunderstandig from my side when I expected a more spaceious room on the first floor . Do not like to sleep with A/C on. Did not enjoy the poached eggs as they were hard boiled when asking for soft.
Location is very good if you like to handg out in Tamboerskloof or to reach Camps Bay over the hill. Breakfast always good even if I prefer the poached eggs to be poached in water ..not in a form.

GermanyWe had an awesome stay, best choice to stay in capetown. Pamela is such a friendly and helpful owner. She makes you feel home and helps with whatever you ask for. The house is amazing, the rooms spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast is super delicious, you even have the choice between different options and a daily special. Also the location is perfect, not only for sightseeing but also for eating out. :) We will definitely come back!
