How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Everything about our stay at Afrika-Pearl was perfect, but my absolute favorite thing was the warm and hearty hospitality received from our beautiful host, Christelle. The location itself was superb as we had access to everything we needed and at the same time we were nestled away in a beautiful cottage. The attention to detail and aesthetic in the room was instantly noticeable, the bed was comfortable and relaxing, and the shower pressure was wonderful. We also loved the stoep and garden. What a delightful experience!

There was nothing not to like.
Christelle made us feel very welcome. Her attention to detail showed with the chocolates, rusks, fruit juices, milk, and bottled water that were available, amongst other things. We had a lovely room overlooking a lush garden with lots of flowers. Everything was impeccably clean. We will definitely stay here again.

The Afrika Pearl guest house is a beautifully renovated old house with a pool and shady garden centrally located but in a quiet suburb of Paarl. The rooms are spacious with a large seating area and small kitchenette. Everything was spotles. The verandah in front of the rooms have comfy sofas and is a lovely place to have morning coffee. Lots of small extras were provided-Lindt chocolates, milk , rusks , biscuits, water, juice, tea and coffee. Christelle and Johan were excellent hosts and made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived. We highly recommend this guest house when visiting Paarl.

Nothing everything is thought out thoroughly maps of the area restaurants places to visit its just perfect.
I loved everything about Afrika Pearl, the serenity of the property the privacy of the room the view of the garden the little treats left in the room and fridge is so so thoughtful. I am definitely returning 👌 The air con and back up power the dstv is awesome, tea and coffee station with cutlery the mini bar fridge and the room and bathroom is to die for. Don't even blink or think twice to book this venue it exceeds expectations. Thank you so much Christelle for making our anniversary getaway so special and for our gift that was so sweet of you ❤️

-Beautiful little bungalow with kitchenette and its own private garden -Exquisitely and stylishly furnished - Immaculately clean 11/10! - Lots of lovingly arranged little treats like milk and a Kitkat waiting in the fridge, a little bunch of freshly picked flowers in a pretty vase… - Brilliant verandah which became a snug extra room at night by winding down see-through blinds and lighting the outdoor fireplace - Positioned in a quite shady area of the old town and in walking distance to most amenities of the high street
