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 cleanliness of the bathroom. It needs a deep good scrub down. I could never get the TV to work but I spent very little time there and didn't try hard enough. I had my laptop and tablet to stream. The rest was perfect.
There was no breakfast but lots of snacks and nice goodies in the fridge. Should use real butter and not margarine though. I loved the linen on the bed and they had good towels. The place was really quiet and I had a good night's sleep, every night. The rooms are very private and the presence of other guests on the premises did not bother me at all. I felt very safe as a single, female traveler. The hosts are great, friendly and very helpful.

Albert is a superb and super friendly host, the unit was clean and well equipped. The location is in a calm area but not far away from the beach and grocery stores as well as the vast Canal Walk shopping center. Overall a great location if you don't want to be in the touristic hot spots. Getting to the city bowl is a matter of few minutes by Uber or the myCiTi-Bus.

GermanyThe rooms were a bit cold, but it's winter in SA. But he has a heating blanket in the bed!
The kitchen is very well equipped, including an electric egg cooker! Albert will explain everything in great detail. He will also advise you what is to see in Cape Town. He even gave me a short tour around the neighbourhood with his car, and his bus card to use for free (and an umbrella because it was raining).

South AfricaThere was absolutely nothing to complain or not like. If Cape Town is where you would like to visit then THIS is the place to stay
Oh my! I should've booked all my nights at this Guest house! The room was modern, had a touch of pure perfection. The "braai" area was so nice and cozy, after a long day galivanting it felt like home whilst enjoying a good taste of the Cape vineyards. The host suggested a few "to do" list that was easy to find around the area, the snacks and fruit in the room was such a nice surprise! Cannot wait for my next stay!

This is the second time of staying here and picked to stay here because of the location as well as the abundance of complimentary food, snacks and condiments available in the room on arrival. Alberts' willingness to move cars around so that the guests are not disturbed or inconvenienced is really great.

PolandI have never met you doggy Albert, jack russel hidden precious! :-). All was super plus.
You can stop searching. this is the place you want and trust me- I travel A LOT. I do not usually start with people but Mr Albert, host, is the one you know after a 15 sec you would like to have a beer with. The most helpful person with great knowledge of his country I have ever met. Albert prepared welcome pack with water, snacks, sweeties, sherry, maps, bus tickets, etc etc, he even took us for a ride to show neighberhood. given us his own garage. prodly owner of Lada Niva. washing your clothes- no problem, buying „blackout” bulbs with powerbank- no problem. He is so helpful, good companion and so genty person. Albert, it was a privilage to meet you. you stole my heart rescuing the little lost doggy while giving us a ride. the room- everything you want- good comfortable bed, hot water in shower, kitchen annex, comfortable place with grill just outside the room, birds, beautiful garden, safe place, parking lot. microwave, fridge, iron, eggs cocker, A LOT of kitchen stuff I cant even name. my citi buses just a 30 sec walking, Albert prepared for US even plastic tickets for buses!! swimming pool, late check in, late check out, everything! Book it, you will thank you later
