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 KingdomIt was a little far out. We walked into Camps Bay but had to get an Uber back.
Our room was spacious, light, bright and tastefully decorated. The bathroom was excellent- again spacious and with all the facilities we needed. The breakfast was great. The pool terrace was lovely as was the interior of the property. The staff were brilliant. They were friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel very welcome and at home.

EgyptThe only thing i did not like but its everywhere in South Africa, not Just Diamond House is that they are working with Solar Energy so there are times that electricity is not available and the signal for the domestic line were bad because of the mountains, but its out of there hands and there are alternatives so don't worry.
this is by far the best value for money, staff are very friendly and supportive, the pool is always clean, the view is out of this world, the location is very strategic, would definitely go again.

Great location, the backdrop is beautiful. Breakfasts were great. Room was comfy and the staff were so welcoming - we arrived on a very late flight to unusually bad weather to find they'd waited up for us! It was very easy to get about from the hotel.

United KingdomBad luck this one. Load shedding led to a neighbour's house alarm going off at 0400-0445 on our final night. Oh dear.
Lovely warm and authentic welcome. Very understanding team. Offered us key safe check in for second stay. Even came to check on us when we were working all day (how sad we are) and brought extra coffee. It is the small things that make the biggest difference. The sunset view is superb. Oh... and offered to iron Lisa's dress for her when we asked if they had an iron. Super stuff. Breakfast is good.

United KingdomI loved it all - I cannot find fault in anything. A perfect place to stay!
Everything was fantastic - I couldn't fault any part of the stay. Rohaan and Sigi were such wonderful, friendly, and caring hosts. The room was gorgeous and the views were beyond comparison - Table Mountain behind the house, the sea in front, and Lion's Head also in view. Not to mention the breakfasts - which were cooked to order by Sigi and delicious down to the last crumb. I never wanted to leave and can only hope I can return again soon. As a solo female traveller I felt so welcomed and safe throughout the visit. I honestly cannot recommend Diamond House enough - a beautiful guest house, run by beautiful people!
