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...).

South AfricaHaving noted the owner's responses to some of the earlier reviews on this platform, I am considering them in writing the following points: - The inside of the building is not 5-star but they are still renovating (seems to be taking longer than reported here on this platform). However, the room had all the basics - a very clean toilet, a shower (could make more effort in scrubbing it) and clean linen and towels. Also a small bar fridge, a cup, tea and coffee and a kettle. Since it is a self-catering unit they could provide cutlery and a plate and/or bowl; not sure if these are stocked in their kitchen (it could be their private kitchen though as they don't cater food at all). Perhaps a heads-up to bring your own might help. - To improve on: owner/staff could be more professionally presented to welcome guests; Struggled to navigate the TV remote so reception had to assist (wasn't shown when arriving). Could not unlock the front door with the key given (the lady herself could but I could not, so ease of access was a problem). One of the two remotes gave up the ghost so we had one remote to work with - I went out early mornings for a run, and would return late from my conference and visiting friends, so this was an inconvenience. Although the lady did not mind me calling her up at whatever time, she was very helpful. The first stream of water from the tap in the room is brown so you have to wait for clear water to come through; I was reassured it's safe for drinking but did not want to risk it being there for a conference. - Room service is not a given, so you have to request this. Had to request after day 3 as the towels were not fresh anymore and the rubbish bin was filled to the trim, attracting a cockroach. Cleaning out rubbish timeously might help mitigate this.
Location is good, good security. Remote-controlled gate that is strictly kept closed from late afternoon onward. Never felt unsafe but always vigilant after exiting the property. The entrance door is kept locked, and you can lock up your own room. Surrounding neighbourhood is clean and the building on the outside is well-kept. Rooms are standardly proofed for sound, and it was a peaceful stay overall. I stayed during the week. To note is the owner/manager staying on the property on the ground floor (didn't bother me), and considering clients' needs this is probably a good thing (see below). A TV with Netflix available for entertainment and the wifi connection is good.

South AfricaOnly one communal fridge and kettle for upstairs guests. Condition of room needs some attention, although understandable as new owners still working at it.
Unfortunately had too leave too early for breakfast. Room was clean, staff exceptional. Perfect location for our purpose(Doctors visit). Overall very good value for the money.

South AfricaOnline pictures very deceiving form what’s actually on site. Lounge and dining area very dusty. Three towels and cups provided in a 4 sleeper unit. Drywall separates the neighbouring rooms so felt very unsafe, although we did not have any incidents. We did not have a relaxed stay. No safe in room to safeguard valuables. Bathroom was not soundproof from the bedroom. Bathroom ventilation was provided by a picture frame opening at the upper part of the bathroom “wall”.
amazing view of the mountain. Easy access onto N1 freeway and 20 minute drive into City Centre. On a quiet road with not much traffic

South AfricaThe facility need a serious improvement and the old furniture to be removed as they are old and not nice. The facility needs to spring clean because due to old furniture, we saw some cockroaches in the bath room and in the bedroom.
The facility is at the quiet place

South AfricaMy mother and I stayed in room 6 which was upstairs. The headboard was very dusty. The shower did not drain the water well and it was flooding. One of the rules was no smoking inside but you could smell a burning cigarette in the hallway. The hosts stay in the same building downstairs and we were not informed that they have a dog until we arrived on the day during check in. The rooms aren't sound proof as the walls are of prefab material so we were not comfortable with increasing volume while watching TV and we could hear the people next door to our room. The pictures are deceiving. We could have extended our stay as we were going to be in Cpt for a week but we were not happy with the condition of the place.
The staff was kind and the area is safe.
