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...).

Merryl was a superb host and made us feel very welcome. We were surprised and thrilled to have been given an upgrade to the suite which was amazing. The location was great - a 5 minute walk to the shops, bars and restaurants. The apartment had everything you need including milk, jam and bread on arrival. Merryl also placed a bottle of fizz in our room on arrival as we were celebrating our birthdays. The views from the balcony were wonderful. Highly recommend a stay here.

This is a stunning apartment in Campsbay, very close to the main sea front with shops and restaurants.. Merryl was also on hand to advise. Great view of the sea and sunsets. Will hopefully return on a future trip.

South AfricaEverything was amazing
We had the pleasure of staying at Meryl’s beautiful space for a week and it was exactly that, a pleasure. From the moment we walked in, the attention to detail was obvious ( Fresh Bread and arranged flowers, little chocolate treats to name but afew ) Meryl’s space is modern, clean and open. The quality of linens and towels was the cherry on top for us which is saying a lot as we had a daily helper who came in and cleaned/neatened. Meryl is a gracious hostess who went above and beyond with giving thoughtful and sound advice on where to eat and what activities to do during our stay. It’s evident that Meryl loves her space and takes great pride in looking after it. Thank You Meryl for making our stay even more memorable.

Our host Meryl is so welcoming, friendly, warm and attentive. The views from our balcony are just amazing...Table Mountain and the ocean...the sunsets from the balcony are breathtaking. This is Camps Bay's finest and we cannot wait to return.

United KingdomWe were really happy with our accommodation. The "studio" flat was in fact huge and very well appointed with a spacious bathroom and kitchen area. You can enjoy breakfast or a morning coffee from the outside deck area looking out to the ocean - heaven. The decor was lovely and there were thoughtful little touches everwhere. More importantly the place was immaculately clean and just a few moments walk to the central area of Camps Bay. We never felt unsafe and enjoyed being able to walk about to the cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed being located away from the city centre and all the sites and still only a short uber or drive away. The host, Meryll, was very helpful and welcoming.

Location was excellent with an easy drive into Cape Town, close to Table Mt and the drive along the glorious Chapmans Peak Drive to take you further afield to Cape Point. Locally a 5 minute walk to a fabulous beach resort with choice of good restaurants.

United KingdomNothing - everything was superb.
As usual Merryl and Steve were excellent hosts, pleasant and helpful. The suite was very well appointed and was only a five minute walk down to the Camps Bay strip where there is a plethora of restaurants and bars. A starter pack of foods and drinks was provided which was very helpful. There were many thoughtful touches in the property including a battery powered lamp to use during the load-shedding periods. We used the sun beds on the deck and there was a stunning view down to the sea. When we left at an unearthly hour to catch an early morning flight, Steve even helped us with our luggage. What a farewell!

The location perfect.

NetherlandsAbout the appartment nothing. Everything was great. But if you go to Camps Bay on the weekend, book a table in advance in a restaurant as it can get quite busy.
The host Merryll was very welcoming and friendly. The appartment was very spacious, clean and everything you could possibly need was there. Or you could ask for. We really enjoyed the little things in the room, for example jam, some bread, sweets, filtered water and beers and wines (against payment). This is as local shops in Camps Bay don't sell alcohol. Bars and restaurants of course do. The outside sitting area and view of the appartment was amazing. Communication over Whatsapp made it very easy to ask questions or get information about load shedding times. Would have loved to stay longer, but she was already booked out :( We hope to visit SA and 51 on Camps Bay again in the future.
