How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThis was a very comfortable property with friendly staff and in a good location. It was a delight to discover Durbanville and the lodge gave great recommendations on places to eat. It was nice to have one's own private wing and to have decent heating, we found the weather cold! All round it was a very pleasant stay.
Very few places ever seem to provide more than one decent-sized bath towel, and we had difficulty drying ours given the cold weather. It would be great to be given two large bath sheets per person. I had forgotten to request a non-dairy milk and gluten-free products for breakfast, just assuming that these are pretty standard nowadays. So this did limit options. But it was not a train smash. The parking area is small and a little difficult to negotiate getting out - reversing being not my top game - fortunately I could rely on the skills of my co-driver!

Verified reviewGreat location in a quiet and upmarket neighbourhood. The property is beautiful and looks recently renovated. The gardens are stunning and the decor really tasteful. My room was nice and spacious and had everything I needed for my stay. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in - I’d love to know the brand so I can get myself one of these beds! I loved that there was a small gym room (with a treadmill and some weights). Service was friendly and efficient, we were greeted as we drove into the property. Highly recommend staying here.
The only minor point is that the blinds/shutter at the door to my room doesn’t fully close as it’s blocked at the bottom by the skirting board (room 4). Thus there was a sliver of light shining into my room from the garden light outside. This didn’t bother me too much as I was tired and slept through it, but will keep light sleepers awake.

Just a small recommendation: it would be great to have better coffee facilities in the room and not only Nescafe sachets.
