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.).

South AfricaThe door between the bathroom and the bedroom in our room needs a blind because the window in the shower has a bright light that shines through at night, which makes it difficult to sleep
We really enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful location. The room and the pool area under the trees were lovely and all staff were friendly.

The position of the hotel gives fabulous views. Staff very helpful.

GermanyPart of the reason we booked Silvermist was that it had a restaurant as we didn't want to drive in the evening. However it turned out that the restaurant is not part of the hotel, is one if the best restaurants in Cape Town and was booked up for 4 weeks, lunch and dinner. It should not be mentioned as part of the estate. The drive up to the hotel is not for the faint hearted, especially not in the dark!
Our room was large, nicely furnished and the huge bed was very comfortable. Everything was spotless. The staff were lovely and very helpful, breakfast was perfect. We would be very happy to return on future trips.

GermanyThe location as such is nice but everything looks is a bit outdated and building and rooms needs renovation. Flower beds look neglected. Breakfast staff is very friendly and helpful, but quality of the breakfast buffet isn’t great and more like in a youthhostel. Our standard room was the only room without sun loungers on the terrace. Sadly it was not possible to get any. Only one Bathrope for two people. We didn’t get a second one after requesting one. Very loud garden works in front of our room in the morning. The grass was cut with a loud and smelly motor device. It would have been nice to inform us or better even to wait until we are out of our room.
Beautyfully located on the hill of Constantia. Spacious Room.

GermanyHaving tons of orange farms in the region we would have appreciated a fresh orange juice in the morning instead of powder juice. The gravel road to reach the lodge is quite exhausting, each time 30min on the road...
Limited choice for dinner (choice of 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 desserts) but absolutely excellent quality and service. Very beautiful rooms and comfortable bed. Very serene place to relax.

SwitzerlandThe bathrooms are very cold especially on windy days. Loud music from the 70ies over breakfast.
Perfect location right next door to the famous La Colombe restaurant. Beautiful views of the back side of table mountain. The huge fireplace. The fabulous smelling “earth” products. The rescue farm animals that roam around on the property freely.

GermanyThe rooms are spacious but not very modern and would definitely need to be freshened up. Breakfast is very poor, compared to simular hotels I stayed at during my trip. The gardens and pool area are nice but seem pretty neglected, not very well kept indeed.
The hotel is located in the midst of Silvermist Wine Estate (Constantia), not to be recommended for people wanting to visit Cape Town and spend the evening there. The only reason to come here, in my opinion, is to have easy accommodation after an opulent dinner at the fancy "La Colombe" restaurant which is right next door. Staff is friendly and helpful.

United StatesFortunately, when we were there the weather was perfect, but if it wasn't you might have difficulty with controlling the temperature.
It was right next to La Colombe restaurant. The grounds were nice with plenty of great views of the vineyards. The room was spacious and clean. Security was very good on the property. Breakfast was also good and on a sunny morning you can eat outside beside the pool only steps away from the room.
