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 reviewI loved the view and it is nice clean accommodation
I think the furniture is getting old, the place needs some work and the beds are getting tired. I think it is slightly overpriced but I guess so is all Cape accommodation

Verified reviewgood view
I seldom write reviews however feel like this property is mis portrayed: Firstly, the property requires significant maintenance - several broken blinds; filtered water tap in kitchen not working; dishwasher makes a tapping noise; jacuzzi not working; outdoor furniture is tired; sliding door between dining room and patio was off railing and could not be opened; washing machine detergent drawer really dirty; kitchen knives require sharpening Secondly, there are certain quality or standard levels that were not great - for example, there is a really poor washing line that has been hung within the jacuzzi room and looks shabby. Thirdly, there were some safety issues that weren’t great for young kids that I was not aware of - there’s a security gate between the bedrooms and living room - there is a 6inch gap between the gate and floor that has been ‘filled’ by metal spikes downward facing to the floor that could easily catch a toddler’s feet and there is no way of latching the door open - we used a chair which allowed us to intercept the kids if they played with the gate. additionally, there used to be a screen (per-specs / glass I assume) on the patio in front of the railing - this has broken and not been replaced with some of the corners broken off and still remaining. The floor to the patio is painted black - it gets too hot to sit outside and far to hot for kids little feet. we only used the patio in the early morning or evenings. I appreciate there can be a lot of wind - but some measures could be taken to make the patio more welcoming. in the main bathroom, in the shower, there are was a metal soap holder that has broken off, yet the protruding metal has not been removed and caught my arm while showering with my toddler. furthermore - there were cockroaches in the under sink cupboard, and jacuzzi room. it was rather off-putting.
