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...).

South AfricaThe booking process was extremely cumbersome with way too much admin and was actually very complicated. I am still waiting for my invoice after asking for it 3 times. I cannot stress enough how cumbersome and unpleasant the booking process is!

South AfricaUnhygienic sheets. They don't change sheets for new visitors and they don't change sheets if you stay long. I stayed 6 nights with Unclean sheets. They wanted to charge me R450 to change linen. Very unhygienic. Found cut nails on the side table from a previous visitor which means the room was not cleaned before I checked in

South AfricaThe beds were toooo hard and uncomfortable. We didn't always have breakfast here but on the day we were leaving we politely asked for breakfast at 6.30 because we had a long journey back to Durban. Sadly even though Ntsikakazi was awake and in the kitchen,instead of receiving a kind response we got an attitude where she banged and threw cutlery and crockery. We had a great time in Cape Town. All we needed was a little human kindness to end our trip on a high note instead we left with a bitter taste in our mouth.
The location was excellent. Easy to travel to the tourist spots..Close to shops. Reception upon arrival was warm and friendly ♥️

Good internet (over 100Mbit download / upload), enough for remote working. Very spacious room Even though breakfast was not expected, every day there were toasts, cereals and coffee available in the morning, thank you!

South AfricaThe room didn’t have ả proper locking system. Room 3 did not have hot water, so we had old shower for 2 days. The car park is right outside and not secured, as a result the thugs broke in to our car and stole everything that was inside. The property owner failed to show us thé footage of the incident with shows that their cameras are not working. There is no tight security although the whole area is not safe. Crime rate seems high in that area. We felt unsafe and we ended up moving to a safer place.
