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 reviewGood location. Shirley was a great host who was always on hand with any help and questions we had. Breakfast was pretty good. Beds comfortable.
Too much clutter everywhere but it did have character. Best descibed as ‘Quirky’. Worth another visit because of Shirley’s input.
Good morning. Thank you for your review and your compliment! We have noted your comments and will take them into consideration. Enjoy the rest of your stay in South Africa. Shirley

Verified reviewWell positioned rooms on levels round a small swimming pool. Beautiful gardens to sit in . Easy walk down to interesting town with lots of restaurants, cafes and a good museum area. Free shuttle service to pick you up and bring home from major restaurants. The town felt safe though. Breakfasts were good and plentiful. The sherry provided was lovely.
The room safe was not working, possibly a problem for some. Lots of steps in the property, again maybe a problem for some.
Thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the breakfast. I will certainly address the safe issue. Unfortunately not much we can do about the stairs since the house has two levels. Enjoy the rest of your stay in South Africa. Shirley

Verified reviewNicely situated with everything within walking distance. Fun to speak with friendly host that also had lots of useful tips. Lovely patio and garden area to relax on and enjoy the view.
Room a bit small for 2 hard suitcases that need opening up to ”double size”. Reading light by bed have potential for improvement.
Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. I will certainly address the light issue and thank you for bringing it to my attention. Take care. Shirley

Verified reviewThe property was a little quirky and in a good location with parking available. Friendly host and loved the fact that we were encouraged to treat the whole house as our own. Breakfast was good and even a little sherry provided for a nightcap
No bottled water in the rooms. Although breakfast was freshly cooked we weren’t offered options so we automatically got a full breakfast it may have been better if we were asked what we wanted at the time. The host did ask us on arrival if we had any food allergies or food we didn’t eat
Thank you for the great review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and have noted your comments about the breakfast options :-) Shirley

Verified reviewLocation, views, the pool, the staff and most of all the breakfast was lovely.
It is a stunning building and over 200yrs old so you can expect to hear a little movement from above if you are in the downstairs rooms. Charming nevertheless.
Thank you Mike for your review. Your comments are appreciated and glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you next time round :-) Safe travels! Shirley
