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.).

ZimbabweThat I couldn't stay longer. The hosts were so accommodating I cant actually think of anything wrong.
5/5 Stars I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Seaforth Suite in Simon's Town, and it was an incredible experience! The location was perfect for my goals, as I was able to see plenty of penguins, which was a top priority for me. The suite was conveniently located for exploring the surrounding area, with a short and easy drive to Cape Point. It's an ideal location for anyone looking to stay on that side of Cape Town. One of the highlights of my stay was the proximity to the yacht school, which was within walking distance. The hosts were also amazing, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, I would highly recommend the Seaforth Suite to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Simon's Town. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and would definitely stay here again!

South AfricaWe were greeted by Jae, who helped us with our luggage and were taken up to a beautiful comfy room with a great sea view. Everything you need is provided. The room and bathroom are modern and clean. There is an alarm and safe parking in the street. Walking distance to the Penguins at Boulders Bay. It has a balcony to be able to enjoy the view. We had a fabulous couple of nights. Thank you Colleen and Jae.

United KingdomThat we had to leave!
This stay surpassed our expectations. A PERFECT place and location to enjoy the natural wonders of Boulders Bay, the great hospitality vibes and history of Simons Town & beyond, but most importantly a beautiful, safe, clean, welcoming, sea view suite to return to. Colleen and Jae are generous, kind and helpful hosts. We wanted and needed for nothing. Thank you. We will be back!

United KingdomOverall, there wasn't really anything we didn't like. For info, the kitchen area and fridge is quite small but does have everything you need and given the excellent value of the apartment, it really isn't a big issue (and not something that could be changed). It still worked well for us.
A lovely studio apartment, which has everything you need for a pleasant stay. Very well equipped, they had thought of everything that we might need including beach towels, a well equipped little kitchen area (although the fridge is quite small but we made it work) and even little things like ear plugs, in case the penguins kept us awake (they didn't, we loved having them nearby). The location is excellent, close to the beach and the boardwalk at Boulders and also to the main road into Simonstown. The extra bonus is that they have an inverter so load shedding is not really an issue and, whilst there isn't air conditioning the ceiling fan did a more than adequate job. The apartment was really well decorated and spotlessly clean. The owners, Colleen and Jae were lovely and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They met us on arrival at the property to hand over the keys and go through everything and were always just a message away if we had any questions or needed anything. Being able to borrow a parasol for the beach was also fantastic, given the heat. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely consider for future stays in Simon's Town.

South AfricaCannot really fault anything, and that is a first for me. Colleen and Jae has practically thought of everything to make our stay stress free and a perfect weekend getaway. All we can say is THANK YOU and keep it up.
To our host Colleen and Jae, THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing this GEM with us. You guys are amazing and very accommodating, which is a rare find these days. The room design and flow is just perfect whilst providing ample storage space. Room was spacious and truly makes you feel ready to destress and unwind. It's the kind of stay that you don't want it to end. The property is located perfect if you are looking for tranquility. It's far enough from the crowds of Seaforth, but definitely close enough to enjoy the perfect ocean view and waves breaking.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didnt like.
The location was very beautiful, only 1 minute from the penguins! I felt very safe, there was a alarm system you can set. Colleen was great at communicating and her son Bradley was super kind to show me around and settle me in, recommending secluded beaches etc. I cherished the personal touches: there were Almonds, snacks, cookies and even milk for your tea. The host served me his own pizza as I arrived late and was exhausted. The room was immaculate, the cleanest place I have stayed in my life and travel a fair bit around the world. The shower was hot and spacious with great pressure, toiletries and a bathrobe were provided. Colleen had thought of everything: heater, lights, blowdryer, even a hot water bottle. The bed was a very high quality matress and the kitchenette wad well equipped. As there was loadshedding electricity outage, the host maďe sure There were battery powered lights in every room. A little electricity hiccup was resolved in no time as the host was available and on call 24/7. The terrace was magical and I recommend you get up early to catch the sunrise over the bay and walk down to Seaforth beach to have it and the penguins all to yourself. I would recommend Seaforth Suite very highly and would not want to stay anywhere else in Simonstown. Thank you for making these 2 days a magical experience! Highly recommended!!
