Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomAttractive modern style with large rooms and lots of open interconnecting spaces that guests can use with nice sheltered open pool. It is also a short walk to the stunning Grotto beach for some walking, kite surfing or swimming.there is also a great coast walk or run. There is an excellent beachside cafe restaurant and easy walk, or very short drive away with excellent seafood and beach vibe. The staff and management were very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomJust a little attention needed to the heavy wooden blinds.
We stayed in the Fynbos Suite for 2 more nights. It’s much smaller than the Southern Right Suite and on the ground floor but absolutely beautiful. Perfect if you cannot or don’t wish to climb stairs to the upstairs Suites.

United KingdomThe heavy wooden blinds in both rooms need some attention. Otherwise perfect.
We adored the Southern Right Suite and will definitely book this wonderful accommodation again should we return to Hermanus. What a balcony and what a view over the expanse that is Grotto Beach. Swimming pool area was lovely and common parts fabulous. Breakfast was superb and service top notch with wonderful caring staff.

We stayed in this wonderful accommodation for two nights at the beginning of December. And what can I say? During our entire tour of South Africa, this was one of our best accommodations. And I'm not exaggerating. We felt incredibly comfortable from the second we arrived. We had the Sugarbird room and the view of the sea left us speechless. We even saw whales from our balcony. The room was also large, extremely clean and the beds were very comfortable. The Internet also worked perfectly - we have had completely different experiences in other hotels in South Africa. In the evening we had a "nightcap" in our room. What a great idea! The breakfast was also very tasty and all the staff were very friendly. You can walk to a breathtaking beach in about 5 minutes and to Hermanus by car in about 10 minutes. There are also restaurants within walking distance. We give the accommodation an unreserved 10/10 and will definitely be back. I can more than recommend it.

United KingdomThe room was a bit chilly but it wasn’t the hotel’s fault as Loadshedding meant that all electricity went off for a couple of hours as did the heating
Visiting during the winter season we can imagine how wonderful it would be here in the hot summer. Now we enjoyed the roaring fire in the guest sitting room and lovely views of the sea and Grotto Beach. Our room was superb and we even woke up to whales splashing in the sea right outside our balcony. Breakfast was delicious too
