Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Cape Finest was amazing. The treasure of the guest house was Willi; he looked after us from morning to night 🌙 😄 Breakfast was delicious, carefully thought about and varied...for fear we would get bored! Room was beautiful. He was interested in how our day went, ready with suggestions for great restaurants and music. Willi was keen to ensure we were safe when we went out and told us where to go and where not. Would love to stay again as Cape Town has much more to explore.

GermanyIncredible stay!!! We stayed there for 5 nights and felt home in the end. That was not just because of the beautiful neighbourhood, the great bright and super clean apartment, tasty breakfast, it was mainly because of Willie,who made us feel really comfortable. He welcomed us with his super friendly attitude, fresh fruits and a bottle of wine and gave us the best tipps for Cape Town and the surrounding ever! You can ask Willie everything: how to stay safe in Cape Town, where to go for the best drinks and food, about tours and on and on... Cape finest guesthouse is also settled in a nice nighbourhood with super views over the City. We highly recommend a stay there!

United Arab EmiratesI recently had the pleasure of staying at a hotel apartment for 2 nights, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. My stay was simply fantastic. First and foremost, the apartment itself was immaculate. The attention to detail in the design and furnishings was evident, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Speaking of exploration, I owe a debt of gratitude to extraordinary employee at the hotel who went above and beyond to make my stay truly memorable. Their genuine warmth and hospitality left an indelible impression on me. Not only did he provide excellent service, but they also took the time to recommend some local attractions that turned out to be absolute highlights of my trip (fishhoek, Manhattan bar) Thanks to suggestions, I had the opportunity to visit the charming coastal town of Fishhoek, which was a hidden gem. Additionally, other employee recommendation to visit the captivating farm of Babylonstoren was a stroke of brilliance. Overall, my stay at this hotel apartment was an absolute delight. The impeccable accommodations, coupled with the warm and attentive service from the staff, made it a truly memorable experience. Thanks to the outstanding recommendations from two exceptional employees, I had the pleasure of discovering the enchanting Fishhoek and the captivating Babylonstoren farm. If you're looking for a hotel that not only provides exceptional accommodations but also goes the extra mile to ensure you have a memorable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel apartment. Your comfort and satisfaction are guaranteed, and you may even uncover hidden gems within the city like I did. I can't wait to return and create even more cherished memories in the future.

GermanyUnfortunately we only spent one night at the Cape Finest Guest House but it was fantastic. The room was very nice and super clean. The roof terrace is just a dream to just relax and have a nice drink. There is a private parking lot behind the house (fenced), it is within walking distance to the center. The breakfast was delicious and absolutely freshly prepared. Last but not least, Sam made the whole thing a wonderful stay with his great manner. Thank you very much we enjoyed it very much

NetherlandsEverything about our stay was amazing! Room was very clean and cleaned every day! Our main host Willie was the greatest. He gave us the best tips for activities and restaurant. When we came back in the afternoon from the lions head track he asked us how our day was and gave us some restaurant tips. Before heading out we took a quick shower. When we came back from the restaurant, Willie had changed our towels, placed waterbottles next to our bed and had put some sweets on our bed and had put the bedlights on. This was a very nice and welcoming surprise. A true host!
