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 KingdomNothing but I’m not sure the venue does breakfast as the listing says something about Breakfast.
The view was beautiful and it was very cosy. It was very close to all the suburban spots - Muizenberg/ Hout bay etc . Loved the view!! Sunset and Sunrises were beautiful. Andre was great and check in and out were super easy!

FranceJust be aware that downtown is 2 km away. A car is very useful to drive up and down.
The view from the terrace on Simonstown's harbour is exceptional. The house itself is very comfortable and well equiped: 2 rooms with their own bathroom. Ideal to accomodate a family of 4. Cape sugarbirds in the garden. Free parking in front of the house. Nice restaurants on the waterfront.

GermanyThis is not specific to Albatross House - however due to security reasons we had to lock the apartment and garden twice from the 'inside' which we as Europeans are simply not used to... also: beware of Baboons when driving slowly, having your window open and food inside the car... ;)
Albatross House offered us with an amazing apartment including all necessary facilities and comfort we were looking for ! What was special was the breathtaking view across False Bay and Simons Town harbour from up above due to the higher up location of the apartment and the three balconies in front of each of the bed rooms as well as the living room! Our host Andre was extremely welcoming, always easy to get in touch with and hands-on. He also went out of his way to help us after we had forgotten our iPad in the apartment!

DenmarkNot much to complain about really. You should be aware that the property is on a fairly steep hillside and there are a few steep steps down from the road to the flat. Also the cleaner entered the property in the morning unexpectedly (at least for us). Wasn't really a problem, just a bit surprising that suddenly there was somebody in the flat. :-)
Great location with a wonderful view, well appointed flat with everything you could possibly need and nice modern bathrooms. Good wifi reception and TV complete with Netflix access. Check in was easy and the owner even sent a video explaining exactly how to access the property as we were arriving late. The property also felt very safe.

AustraliaBaboons raiding the houses in the morning and stole some food from the neighbours. Please make sure you shut all the doors!
Million dollar view from a huge balcony, comfortable bedrooms each with an ensuite, large lounge room and a full kitchenette. The host was amazing, gave us lots of useful info and recommendations. We left a shirt behind when checked out, and the host rang us straight away and arranged to have the shirt dropped off to us while we were still in the neighbourhood. Can’t fault this place, 10/10 and one of the best stays in South Africa!
