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.).

South AfricaIt’s not the cleanest space! The cleaners only clean the floors and change linen from time to time. None of the other surfaces above the floor were cleaned the whole time we were there (10 days)
Amazing staff! Very helpful and accommodating. We had an apartment with great views from the living room balcony…lovely, sunny room!

South AfricaThere wasn't a mirror in my room, so I couldn't check my outfit before work. I commented on that to the staff, on my next stay, they had organised a mirror before I even arrived!
Staff were very helpful, it was the perfect room to stay a night to avoid traffic. Everything was clean and I got exactly what I paid for.

United StatesAll good The folks at the desk were terrific. But I don't think I'll go back! I work during the day. Maids, in my mind are to be seen not heard. They yell all day, extremely loudly across the 10 courtyard rooms. I do dictation on the computer, it's impossible, that's all The computer picks up and then we're two doors closed between the noise. It's nice that they joke and communicate a cultural thing. It's a totally a problem for me, again definitely noisy. They run the place. It's wonderful when they leave or chill in the evening then it's quiet and beautiful. I mentioned it to management. No such thing as a bad employees only bad management. But it's like being outside a sports bar and what should be a quiet room.
Location, chill management, decent rooms for a single guy. Okay kitchen but if you need something they always help.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Very central, close to Mojo Market and Sea point pier. Short drive to Cape Town central. Easy access to the property 24/7. Parking for your vehicle is outside infront of the property but very safe with people patrolling.

South AfricaPutting a TV in the rooms would be a great option because it's not easy to share something like that, also the other residents left there shoes everywhere, in the bathroom and the living room which was disturbing and we could hear them from our room so it's not as private as we wanted and it is pricey compared to mojo which is down the road and has way more to offer.
The bed and the location.
