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.).

Being so close to the high street meant it was very noisy but it also meant that we were very close to the wine tram and the shops and restaurants.
We liked the property very much and the pool was lovely. Has good appliances and equipment. The manager/owner Karin was very helpful and friendly as were the staff.

Can't think of anything.
From the moment we arrived everything was perfect. We were welcomed with staff waiting for us on our scheduled arrival time who helped with our luggage and showed us around the apartment's amenities. Everything in the apartment is beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. We had a cleaning service each day who helped with our washing and ironing requirements if we needed it. Fresh water was put in our fridge each day. We had no problems with the load shedding either. Everything was very relaxed with our stay. We loved the location a great deal and can't wait to rebook again for next year.

No complaints from us, it was delightful
Apartment was spacious and comfortable. Furnishings were appropriate and in keeping with the apartment. Toiletries were provided as was tea and coffee. Service was daily and non intrusive. Staff were excellent and helpful. Fully air conditioned and beautiful outside space with a small pool which was heated. Location was very good with easily reach restaurants. A super place to relax

Only improvement would be that the power easily tripped when too many appliances were running but cant complain about this given power situation in SA.
I booked 3 of the 4 apartments for family attending our wedding in Franschhoek and Le Petite Bijou provided everything they needed and more. Great location in the middle of the main street, close to cafes and restaurants. Facilities were beyond what the family were expecting with modern decor, washing machines and dryers in each apartment and a swimming pool. Easy check out which assisted with us leaving very early on the fly out day. Everyone was more than happy with the stay.

The daily cleaning was good however, overall the property was a bit “grubby” and could have done with a good deep clean
It was extremely well furnished and comfortable
