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...).

South AfricaThe couch in the lounge was not very comfortable, but it didn't affect us as we didn't need to watch TV.
Very central location for shopping and hospital needs. The hosts are super friendly, live on-site and very helpful. Booking in and handing over the keys was very easy. The unit is comfortable, quiet and a lovely view. We didn't do any self catering as such as we were out a lot, but the amenities in the kitchen are very adequate.

South AfricaThere is nothing I didn’t like. I loved everything about this place. From the host (what a lovely soul) to the facilities. I had the most peaceful stay. There are solar panels. So even when there was loadshedding, I didn't notice because there was always electricity. The place is beautiful. There is a balcony with AMAZING VIEWS. It felt like home away from home. I felt safe the entire stay.

SpainI stayed for a month here and I loved it so much I didn’t want to leave! Laura and Walter were so kind and so helpful, and made me feel very comfortable and welcome. The cottage has everything that is needed for both a short and a longer stay. The property has the most amazing view over the Melville Koppies reserve and it is so private, peaceful and quiet; and I never felt unsafe at all. Just around the corner you have Melville which has plenty of restaurants and cafes, and not too far down the road you have a supermarket, so it was very convenient. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Ghananothing, everything was great. However during my stay it was quite cold and the heater in the living area was not enough to heat the entire apartment
everything was just as expect and it felt at home, Laura was extremely welcoming and always ready to assist. I loved how easy it was to move in an out of the facility and the fact that there were restaurants and convenient shops close by.

South AfricaMaybe installing a shower door instead of having the shower curtain.
The hosts were super friendly and helpful but didn't intrude on our privacy. Even though it's right around the corner from restaurants & pubs it was very quiet. We found everything we needed in the property (hair dryer, iron, etc), so no need to take your own. Our car was safely parked. Sitting on the stoep looking out on the Melville Koppies was very relaxing.

GermanyThe restroom is next to the bedroom, which isn't ideal, but also nothing that we found overly disturbing. Nothing else.
Nice hosts, who respected our privacy. The location is great, especially the fact that the balcony is higher up than the next doors neighbors, which guarantees a great view at the hill and also gives a feeling of seclusion while being in the city. The kitchen is very well equipped and our host gave us quite specific instructions on where to find what, which was definitely a first time to that degree and rather helpful.
