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 AfricaIncline between lounge and bedroom. Both of us stumbled more than once. A line painted on the floor would help to solve the problem. Duvet a bit too heavy.
Spacious, well-equipped. Departure time was flexible.

AustraliaI loved the space and the beautifully decorated interior. It was a secure place for both me and my vehicle. Eunice and Sam were very attentive hosts and gave excellent assistance. A room with both sea and mountain views is just the very best. I loved the welcoming pack of a chenin blanc wine and basket of nibblies. Thank you!

SwitzerlandWe could hear the people in the unit above us a bit more than we liked. The fridge was a bit small and needed defrosting. A 3rd or 4th dining chair would have been appreciated.
The perfect location for us - easy for walks on the mountain and a short walk or dive to our favourite beach. It has a lovely sense of space with the view of the garden and pool. Sam and Unisy looked after us so well.

South Africa- Could do with a bigger pan/pot (only a pasta/deep pot and a small egg pan) - Bed was very soft on one side, slightly sunken (some people may prefer a softer bed though)
- Pictures are accurate, cosy, lovely apartment - Friendly hosts, Sam came to meet us and Unisi checked in and shared some recommendations - Beautiful garden view with the ocean on the horizon and amazing view of the mountain as well - Pool was sparking clean, lovely pool chairs and umbrella (weather permitting we’d have loved to enjoy it!) - approx 12 min drive from main town but 3 min from the beach (again, had we had better weather this would have been ideal!) - Sweet touches; enough coffee pods for duration of stay, bedside chocolates, biscuits for tea, umbrella for the rain, gas heater for the cold - Shower feels a bit small, but awesome rain-shower head - Easy, safe, secure parking and access to the property

United KingdomNothing, always a pleasure!
Sam met us to handover the keys. We've stayed before and Sam is always available and so helpful. Location is perfect for a short walk down to Grotto Beach and a drink or meal at Dutchies or the Hopside Down Taproom which we highly recommend, amazing Menu & Great service. Secure self parking. The Pool is stunning and loungers and Towels are provided. Back-up power means you don't even notice the loadshedding schedules. Short drive into town. Cannot wait for a return visit! Thank you Unisi and Sam

United KingdomOur only bit of negative feedback was that the sound proofing between the two flats is not very good. We could hear a lot of what our neighbours were up to and we were grateful that they weren't on their honeymoon (!). But if you get friendly co-holiday makers (as we did) then you'll have a great stay here.
This place was a real find and we would stay here again. The location is great if you're looking for a quiet get away. The area feels safe. You have less options for walking-distance restaurants than if you stayed closer to Hermanus, but we LOVED Dutchies beach bar and went there twice during our short stay. The room was spotlessly clean and whilst there isn't a full kitchen you could just about make a cooked breakfast with the facilities that are there if you wanted to.

United StatesThe only thing that wasn’t perfect was the lack of place to recycle our glass, plastic and aluminium. There was a compost bin for food waste, which was awesome. would’ve been perfect to have a recycling bin next to garbage.
OMG! so great! The pictures don’t do it justice. The pool, the balconies, the essentials in the kitchen, the quickness to help us with BBQ tongs, dishes, and equipment. Such a close walk to the beach for sunset photos and sundowners at the local restaurant. A fan for the one extra hot and windy time we had to close the sliding doors. Such a comfy and perfect getaway.

SwitzerlandWe liked everything. The pool, even though it was too cold to use - looking at it was already tranquil. The bed is suuuper comfy. Secured. No load shedding issues they have their own power supplies. Got private parking. We walked the streets in the night as well felt safe even then. The whole place is super cute, quiet, cozy and we just wish we would have stayed longer honestly. We could imagine ourselves coming more often! The host Unisi is super friendly, responsive and gave us some valuable info without which our experience would be poorer. So thanks for that, for a lovely 2 days well spent. All the best!

South AfricaWe used the property as a base for our busy schedule. The place was private, comfortable, spacious enough for our needs and did not lack in any amenities. As a self-catering unit it served us very well - kitchenette, dining table and lounge in one space, looking onto a pleasing garden and swimming pool. The bed was comfortable with convenient plug points for cell chargers etc. and the bathroom was clean and spacious with a decent-sized shower. Coffee pods, a box of biscuits and kit-kat bars at the bedside made for a nice finishing touch. Set against a spectacular mountain behind us. Bonus was the accessibility of Grotto Beach and Cliff Path within walking distance.

South AfricaThere is only one thing. When you enter the room, there is a small step. It will be wise just to put on a sign because it can be dangerous for older people. Except for that, everything was excellent.
That there was never load-shedding. It was clean and thank you for all the rusks and chips. Sam was very helpful. I read one of the books that was amazing.
