Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomExactly as pictured, close to table mountain. Need to phone to get the gate open to get in. Good communication with host prior to arrival. No tea/coffee in room but was in a room across the hall. Very good location for airport (20min) and table mountain.

United StatesThis beautifully renovated Victorian style home offered great view of Table Mountain in a safe neighborhood. The Belvedere offered no thrill comfortable accommodation. You don’t even get complimentary drinking water in the room. We had made reservations to use the jacuzzi one early evening but the water was barely warm. You barely see much of the staff to ask for anything. The bed is very comfortable and the Aircon worked great and there were plenty of power outlets.

South AfricaThe pillows if you do not like very high pillows! A reminder to travel with my own pillow. Everything else was great. Would recommend a little Q20 on the squeaky cupboard doors and dimming the passage lights at night as they shine in through the doors which do not seal well.
Perfect for the overnight we were looking for. Enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

SpainThe rooms have a carpet, it was clean but i prefer the wooden floors like the rest of the house.
The colonial house is beautifully decorated, the bed was very comfortable and the room had a balcony outside and you can lay in bed with the door open and get the fresh air from the mountain. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The house has a fully equipped kitchen and dinning area which is very convenient. The location is very good and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend it.

United KingdomSome of the photos didn’t quite match up to the property but I think they were having some renovation work done at the time we stayed.
Room was comfortable. Nice shower. Balcony was a nice touch and fab views of Table Mountain! Staff were helpful via WhatsApp if needed. In a very nice area with a few places to eat nearby, and not far from the main attractions still.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have more signage or explicit directions on the use of the hot tub and sauna and including the heating/cooling system in the room. It just happened to be a much cooler visit than we anticipated and our rooms were so cold. The hot tub also seemed dirty with debris in it and took way too long to heat!
We really enjoyed the common space that we could share to stay connected with our traveling companions. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and accommodating for all our needs. It was really nice that there was a full size refrigerator and freezer for all of us to use and really appreciated the full size wine glasses!

South AfricaThe outside area is a bit run down and communication was not great at all as there is only one remote to the gate that has to be left behind each time you leave. No staff members to be seen.

South AfricaThe four packets of snacks (peanuts and chips) in the room and available for purchase had all passed their sell-by date months ago. There was no staff member on site when I checked out, nor visible during the weekend. The bedside lighting is not bright enough for reading with older eyes. The keys to the front door and bedroom were tricky to operate. Despite these issues, I would stay again.
Large high-ceilinged room, lots of cupboard space, comfortable bed, clean bathroom with nice shower, coffee machine, doors opening onto veranda, sufficient on-street parking, quiet location away from busy roads.

BotswanaI just think that the guests need to be informed that the downstairs bathroom is used by all and should be kept clean. I would appreciate if we had access to the kitchen if it is not too much of a hassle.
The large open room with beautiful decor. The king size bed. And the balcony with a garden table and chairs was an added bonus. I loved that.

BelgiumThe welcoming was not done by the owner. So we didn’t get any information to start our visit of the city. This was a shame. Although breakfast was indicated as a possible service at booking time, this service was not offered. We had to take our breakfast outside the premises. So, don’t expect to have experience exchanges with other customers on site.
Room was very comfortable as expected. Cleaning service done every day and perfect. House location was also very good and safe in the evening.

Belvedere House is a heritage home that has been beautifully renovated. The guest house has all the amenities you could need with beautiful views of the city and Table Mountain. A great little cafe and bakery is just around the corner and you can walk to enjoy the suburb, The room was very comfortable and presented us with all that we could need.
