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.).

BelgiumHarder mattresses, but this is a personal preference of course.
This has the most amazing location, the pictures can't capture the feeling you have when you are standing there in real life. The hostesses were super friendly and gave a lot of information about Cape Town and what to do. The house was extremely clean and had all the facilities you could ever want. It surpassed every expectation we had and they were already sky high.

AustriaAs soon as we arrived, we got warmly welcomed by Aissa (one of the owners). She showed us our room and brought us a Welcome-Drink. Afterwards she filled us in on all the information we needed to get the best out of our visit and to travel around Cape Town safely. Aissa was very helpful, booked a restaurant for us on our first evening and also helped us to plan a trip with a rental car. The staff was very friendly and helpful, whenever we needed something and the breakfast was good too. We immediately booked another 3 nights for when we get back from our trip to stay at this cozy place and enjoy the amazing view up there.

United KingdomSo friendly and helpful. Arrived on an early flight but nothing was a problem.Given tea and biscuits and so much helpful information including switching to a cheaper SIM. Allowed me to head out exploring pretty much straight away, using Ubers to get around safely. Lovely staff who serve delicious breakfasts in the most beautiful setting on the balcony with views out to sea. The room was perfect as was the other areas of the house. Can help yourself to beer and wine from the fridge and pay in the honesty box then enjoy your drink in the peaceful gardens or on the balcony. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Bluegum was perfect for us. We had a wonderful few days there annd were looked after so well. All the staff are so friendly, kind and helpful. On arrival Ughetta showed us around and then spent time giving us information about Cape Town. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. There were lots of extra little touches too. We felt at home there. When we had to rearrange our travel arrangements Ughetta helped us sort things out.

South AfricaNo milk in the room, which means you have to walk to the kitchen, which is not far, but perhaps those little long life milk pockets could help.
