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 Kingdomthe shower and basin not in an enclosed room - not a big issue, just not private enough for us.
Clean, modern, comfortable bed! Very friendly and helpful staff - 10/10 for them.

United KingdomSome of the room features like the aircon or showers could use a bit of maintenance. The aircon for example was very loud and we couldn’t sleep with it on. This was a small inconvenience however.
Clean, comfortable and in convenient location.

South AfricaAircon was very loud. Think it might need a service. On our first night, there was an extremely loud family in one of the neighbouring rooms. They were busy on a phone-call until nearly midnight. Whilst this is no fault of the guesthouse, perhaps they could look into soundproofing between the rooms.
This was our second time staying in at Boschenmeer House. Last time was nearly 10 years ago. Large comfy bed Super-friendly staff Nice location - close to centre of Paarl. New shopping mall just outside the estate. We did not visit it, but can see that it would be very convenient to have. Guesthouse is located on a golf estate, which is very tranquil Our room had a lovely view of the golf course and mountains.

South Africathere was an intermittent low buzzing sound that came from somewhere in the building, which unfortunately kept me awake. - parking was a bit tight, particularly for larger vehicles
Shaz was very accommodating in arranging a number of special requests before we arrived e.g. feather pillows (thank you) - we were upgraded to a room with a balcony and lovely view of golf course and mountains beyond (thankyou) - the room itself was very pleasant; with air-conditioner and overhead fan. - Bed was very comfortable. - Shower had good water pressure. Wifi was good - breakfast was lovely (according to my wife .... my 7.00am tee off didnt afford me the luxury of breakfast)

United KingdomThe layout of the bathroom - the sink in bedroom and the shower and wc split over two different areas that open directly into the bedroom - not ideal design (looked as if two cupboards had been converted) - didn’t impact our stay tho The plunge pool is very small and as a result with limited sun loungers - fortunately each day it was free at 4 and catches the evening sun Overall still enjoyed our stay very much
Convenient location for wine tasting Super friendly staff Peaceful setting on Paarl golf course Comfortable bed and large fridge for wine cooling Fab shower Patio doors onto golf course Super close to fab shopping with Bootlegger cafe The Paarl golf course club house a 5 min walk for excellent and good value food and drinks

South AfricaI received a msg on booking.com app after my stay which was just the hotel recouping their fee from the website but it was confusing and made me worry that I had been charged twice, this hasn’t happened with any other hotel but the staff cleared it up for me in a friendly professional manner.
I loved Boschenmeer estate, great to walk around and very central to the wine farms in the area.
