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.).

BelgiumThe apartment could have been slightly cleaner, but I'm being very picky.
Henk and Guido are fantastic hosts. Our apartment was in the street just behind theirs, and they were always available, even via phone, for any question we had. For instance, after the check-out, I forgot one of my dresses in the wardrobe of the bedroom, so Henk and Guido texted me and the next day I passed by to pick it up. The apartment itself is big and bright, the terrace amazing, the neighbourhood is safe. Excellent stay.

AustraliaEverything was wonderful. Only one small thing - couldn't find a power point in the main bathroom, but nothing major.
Fantastic location. Walking distance to waterfront, city centre, Bo Kaap..... Many small cafes and restaurateurs very close, cheaper than the waterfront. Supermarket and shopping mall very close. Hank and Guido very friendly, approachable and helpful. Four adults lived comfortably in red house for 5 days.

KenyaNothing really. Maybe not so many family-friendly restaurants around (this is more adult area), but no problem.
The guesthouse locates in Waterkant which is very safe and convenient area of Cape Town. We were three of us and stayed at one of the apartments. It is walking distance to Waterfront, De Kaap and other major streets in the town. The host Guido and Henk were very helpful ever since we booked the place, responding timely to small questions. We unfortunately got sick during our stay in Cape Town but this apartment made our life much easier considering the situation. We could use the parking on the street while we rented a car as well, no trouble. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Cape Town!

AustraliaCheckout was very hurried - even though we asked for a 10.30 checkout, we were a couple of minutes late, to get medicines from the pharmacy, but then it was rush, rush rush to get out. Apart from that , everything was great, and we loved the place.
Great location, fantastic place.

KenyaWe received a good reception from Guido & Henk since day one. The house was neat, furnished with everything you need in a home. The location is convenient to everything ie mall, Restaurants, Parks, Beach, V&A waterfront. We stayed for 9 days and felt like home. Parking is on the street but very safe with a security guards day & night. I would recommend the Purple House at anytime.
