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 is very hard to criticise Harper’s House but if I had to say one thing it would be that the pool is small but it definitely does the job!
Harper’s House is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is exceptional and the staff cannot do enough for you. There are lovely cafes and a supermarket / liquor store nearby and it’s easy to get places using e-hails. It was a sanctuary in a bustling city and we would highly recommend staying here - we hope to be back!

GermanyBeautiful hotel! We had a lovely spacious room downstairs. Gorgeous bathroom, big comfortable king size bed, perfect to rest after a long flight to Cape Town. The breakfast on the terrace was delicious, and was lovely to relax by the pool and read a book. The staff were all super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again when next in Cape Town.

Really close to Green Point, V&A and the Stadium. We were visiting for the sevens so this was super handy. Lovely staff who waited up for me even though I didn't arrive until 1am. Nice facilities and gorgeous decoration. Will return! Must visit Giovanni's deli around the corner, simply lovely.

United KingdomDespite booking a large airy room the room allocated was small with little natural light. It was very clean and comfortable as we were only staying 2 nights was fine as we were out and about. We have been offered a special rate should we return however would just have liked the room we chose in advance.

United Arab EmiratesThere was no socket next to the mirror for a hair dryer, and there is no extension available. If you need to style your hair, it is a challenge. The guest house is right next to the liquor store, there might be a bit of a dodgy crowd around.
Beautiful house, very tastefully decorated, cozy and spacious rooms. Nice quality toiletries, the room is equipped with all 5* essentials. Nice breakfast with good variety of dishes, cozy terrace for dining outdoor. Friendly and helpful staff.

South AfricaWe stayed at Harpers House for the Cape Town Marathon. The location was perfect, it was very close to the start/finish. It is also easy to get from Harpers House to the city, the Waterfront is within walking distance and all the other shops you need are close by. They also serve a very nice breakfast.
