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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United StatesThe neighborhood is so iconically Cape Town: bright colored houses, elegant cafes, independent shops are all within walking distance. My room had a great balcony overseeing the beautiful Waterkrant street and was very comfortable. The host and cleaning staff were very responsive and attentive.

SwitzerlandFor early to bed and light sleepers the bar across the road can get loud but only until eleven. The sound proofing from the floor above is not good and with the wrong guests it could be problematic.
The apartment was very good,the area safe , well surrounded with good restaurants.and shops..A short walk to centre.

NetherlandsWe were able to collect the keys and check in earlier than the 1400 time, which was very helpful. A hugely important feature, yet not advertised, is that the establishment is not subject to electricity load shedding due to it being on a grid line of high importance.

GermanyI had a wonderful stay at the Man and Tree House in Cape Town. The location was perfect, with easy access to all of the city's attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, with a cozy bed and a fan that kept me cool on hot summer nights. The real highlight of my stay was the fantastic host, Stephan. He went above and beyond to make sure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. He provided helpful recommendations for things to see and do in the city and was always available to answer any questions I had. They truly made me feel welcome and at home. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel in Cape Town. The combination of a great location, comfortable rooms, and a fantastic host made it the perfect place to stay. Thank you for a memorable vacation!
