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.).

What an absolutely perfect place to stay in Cape Town. Jenny greeted us and gave us advice, amazing breakfast, and a cozy private room. It was easy to get anywhere in Cape Town, and university was just a short walk. I would definitely stay again, without a doubt.

South AfricaJenny created a breakfast especially for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. The guest house was just a 3 minute walk from the Baxter Theatre and restaurant. There was secure parking behind gates. Easy access to main routes. The guesthouse is situated in a quiet and upmarket residential suburb of Rondebosch.

South AfricaNothing, they have captured so well the essence of a guest house.
If you are attending UCT functions or need to be around Rondebosch, this place is perfect 🥰. Super convenient and easily accessible. Jenny and Johan are great hosts, they make a wonderful breakfast. It was Easter time so Jenny made sure there were Easter marshies to enjoy on your way in or out of the house. They are a well traveled couple and have great stories to tell. I particularly liked how clean my room was.

South AfricaJenny and Johan run an exquisite guest house. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Jenny's attention to detail can be seen everywhere. I loved the Charlotte Rhys products in the bathroom. The breakfast was delicious with the aroma of fresh basil drifting through the open window. Thank you so much and it was a pleasure to meet you.

South AfricaEverything was just great
Most of all, the hosts, Jenny & Johan were just fantastic - I cannot describe how friendly and courteous they were. They took care of all our needs, including umbrellas when it was raining. Jenny met us when we arrived, showed us our rooms and gave us the keys. What can I say about the sumptuous breakfast - it was super. As vegetarians, I could not believe the spread they made. What I remember most of all was the baked apple. Both Jenny & Johan met us and chatted at breakfast. The room was extremely comfortable with all amenities, including an electric blanket (it was cold the first night). The place was within walking distance of UCT which is where I was going.

ItalyI recently had a remarkable stay at Knightsbury Guest House. It has exceeded all expectations. Jenny and Johan are great hosts, very welcoming and friendly. The room was comfy and clean, and the Wi-Fi connection was fast and efficient. The breakfast was delicious and catered to your needs. The guest house is in a good location, only 10 minutes away from the UCT, and restaurants and supermarkets are within walking distance. I highly recommend it!

ItalyIt is hard to find something that could be improved. If any, maybe the place lacks an outside shadowy spot where you can stay to enjoy the warm weather without getting roasted by Sun. But that is really a minor thing.
As other reviews had said, the staff is amazing. They are extremely friendly and will take care of basically any need you have. Get ready to eat a lot at breakfast too. The room wasn't big but has all the needed services, including fridge, microwave and tv, and everything was well organized so you basically feel at home. The bathroom is impressive and very clean, and the Wi-Fi was stable and powerful enough to do my stuff. Also, it stays on during load-sheddings. The guesthouse is at 10 minutes walk from UCT and 5 minutes to restaurants, shops and other facilities of the district.
