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.).

The room was so lovely and clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The room is exactly as the pictures described. There were multiple different crockery provided (plates, bowls, cups) as well as utensils. There is a microwave, cutting board, kettle etc., everything you might need to make a small meal. Breakfast of cereal and fruits were offered as well as coffee and milk. This experience was over and above of what I expected!

Nothing at all! I felt extremely comfortable there!
A small but perfectly equipped, cosy room with little patio. Very good self catering option and ideal for solo travellers with a car (I don't know how it would be with public transport). Nice and quiet area. Baxter Theatre Centre and Irma Stern Museum only 20 mins away by foot. Host Sue is a very nice person and will answer all your questions. Very appreciated: the bord friendly garden!

It was super clean, cozy and modern. The host was very sweat and welcoming. Told us some good tips for visiting Cape Town - where to go, where to eat, where not to go. The location was very close to the city centre (going by car) and felt very safe and private.

What an incredible find! Our stay at this Mowbray, Cape Town B&B was a delightful surprise. The room was beautiful, situated in a secure neighborhood where we felt very safe all the time. Parking was behind the host's car in the same driveway, but posed no inconvenience at all. Everything we could wish for was provided in the room, and the breakfast of fresh fruits, yogurt, and cereals was a fantastic start to our days. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Communication with the host via WhatsApp was seamless, and the location was perfect for both accessing Cape Town's center and the airport. Plus, it was excellent value for the quality received. Highly recommended for a comfortable and well-located stay in Cape Town!

In a nice quiet part of town a little out of the centre. Not at all a problem - just worth making a note of when booking! Ubers were quick and easy from here.
Beautiful room, very high quality bedding and bathroom facilities. Big room with plenty of space and bonus to have kitchenette facilities too. Very welcoming and extremely quiet and peaceful. Quite close to the airport for those needing easy access.
