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...).

CanadaNothing, everything was great.
We enjoyed our 2 night stay at The Vishuis. The location was perfect and we could walk to the waterfront where there are many restaurants and the clifftop pathway. We enjoyed the town and especially walking along the cliffs. The location is quiet and Marc is a hands on host meeting you upon arrival and showing you around your suite and how the gates work. It was fabulous to have secure parking this close to the ocean so we did not need to move our car. Marc was really helpful with restaurant and activity recommendations.

AustraliaWe absolutely loved our stay in this cosy yet surprisingly spacious room—it was beautifully decorated with a relaxed boho vibe that made it feel instantly welcoming. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, and the outdoor area was the perfect spot to unwind. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to great restaurants and the lookout, making it both convenient and scenic. A truly lovely place to stay!

United KingdomThere is just a plunge pool - if you want to swim then a 5 minute walk gets you to the marine pool which is a tidal pool on the sea front.
Marc met us and showed us around the apartment which was gorgeous - huge living dining area and comfy sofas - very stylish - contemporary but comfy. Short safe walk to the cliff path and into Hermanus to eat. Book if you want to eat out in Hermanus - the kitchen facilities are excellent but we wanted to eat out and our preferred places were fully booked on a Tuesday night

South AfricaA fan in the bedroom please - and a flat sheet (the winter duvet was too thick and very hot)!
The location could not be more perfect, within walking distance to the little town, restaurants and all the quirky coffee spots etc. The decor and attention to detail truly exhibits the owner's passion for this little place.

Fantastic stay at The Vishuis. Property is really nice and comfortable. Location is ideal within Hermanus. Marc gave a great introduction when we arrived, not only telling us everything we needed to know about the property for our stay, but gave really good suggestions of things to do in the local area. Would definitely like to return in the future.

United KingdomI liked everything about my stay at The Vishuis!
The room was super spacious, and looked out onto tranquil setting. It was in a great location - just a few mins walk from Checkers supermarket, coffee shops and the main restaurant and shopping 'hub' of Hermanus. A very quiet spot and facilities were excellent. Marc gave excellent recommendations for places to eat and things to do in the area. Loved my stay at The Vishuis.
