How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewNo words can truly describe the beauty and charm of this amazing hotel. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the warmest and smoothest check-in I’ve ever had, everything just felt effortless. We had only booked three nights at first, but we ended up loving it so much that we extended our stay for another three nights and honestly, every single day felt just as special as the first. What really makes this place stand out is the people. Every single team member has one goal: to make you feel at home. They don’t just help with activities, restaurant reservations, but they do it all with so much genuine care and attention to detail that you feel truly looked after. A huge thank you to the entire 21 Nettleton team for giving us the best staycation experience of our lives. Your kindness, professionalism, and those little personal touches made every moment unforgettable. We’re already counting down the days until we can come back!

Verified reviewBeautiful property nestled in a quiet and affluent part of Clifton closer to Camps Bay than Seapoint. Staff was awesome and very helpful and warm, room was stunning (we stayed in the queen suite) and refreshments were free throughout our stay. Internet, electricity, AC and water pressure were good. Our stay included a free airport transfer which we appreciated. The in room menu was also good - portions were a bit small though but they gave us our last lunch on the house, which was also a lovely gesture. Quiet at night which is great for light sleepers. Definitely more of a place for couples. Decor of the property was stunning and the owner swings by every Monday.
No true complaints. Some observations: - No elevator so if you have an issue with climbing steps, this may be problematic. - Breakfast was good but lack of variety was felt after the 4th morning. - Dinner on premise was exorbitant at $200 pp so we opted to always eat out. - the iPad messages (used to communicate with staff) did not function well in the evenings as they went largely unread
