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 television set’s picture was grainy and unwatchable. Using the shower caused the tiled floors and toilet to becoming wet. I know it is the trend these days not to have shower doors, but this arrangement is wholy and annoyingly impractical. Failing which - why not provide a squeegee, of the kind I found used all over Israel in bathrooms. Although we declined the offered help with our suitcases, this was a mistake as the walk to our rooms was long and tedious, first through the main hotel, then along the corridor of the annex, over some rather dodgy paving and on to the far side of our block.
We were pleasantly surprised to arrive at ‘Devon Valley Hotel’ to find an establishment surrounded by lovely gardens and fine views over the valley and vineyards. Having presented ourselves at reception we were assisted by a very capable and gracious young man named Wayne and offered a glass of refreshing wine. The accommodation was spacious, perfectly clean, stylishly decorated with upmarket furnishings and finishes and the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely supper in the attractively styled restaurant that overlooks the garden before retiring for the night. In the morning - we enjoyed a generous buffet-styled breakfast, with a variety of tasty options. The restaurant staff were helpful and efficient. I can readily recommend a stay at Devon Valley Hotel.

SwitzerlandThe pool needs to be looked after, not a cozy setup. Hotel wanted to shorten our stay or move us to different rooms during stay. Luckily we booked through booking.com which gave the hotel less possibilities to kick us out/around. At the end they apologized.
We stayed with a large group of friends. DVH was a great location for us with enough space, cost bar to meet for drinks, good restaurant, great views

South AfricaThere was a very odd coffee table in our bedroom that was just way too big and out of place, but otherwise it was extremely comfortable and pleasant. Very satisfied and thank the Devon Valley staff!
The Barman was excellent, and the waiters once we asked them to serve us, then they were very good. The staff and management made it very special for our 40th wedding anniversary after we spent our honeymoon at Devon valley in 1984. This was really appreciated and their friendliness and of course meeting us with Edgar again who is excellent!

South AfricaSome weird omissions like no bath plug, due to water restrictions. But I am not aware of any water restrictions currently still in place here, with all the dams overflowing lately.

South AfricaJust a suggestion - the al carte menu can have more dinner options if you stay more than three nights. Otherwise, a superb setting, perfect for a corporate event or function.
Beautiful location, just outside Stellenbosch. Loved everything about it. Devon Valley will be my preferred place to stay in Stellenbosch. (Easy access to town and not so busy surroundings or traffic)

United KingdomParking a fair distance from reception. Help was available for the bags - but it still meant a walk back to the car in the rain.
The property is handy for Stellenbosch and surrounding areas. There is plenty of parking - although some way from the premises. Our room was comfortable and spacious enough. A highlight was the restaurant. Our evening meal was excellent as was breakfast. We had stayed in a number of other excellent hotels over that period - and The Devon Valley food shone above the others.
