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):
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.
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.).

GermanyBayflower Guest House is an absolute gem — perfectly located for exploring Capetown, yet peaceful and quiet enough to feel like a true retreat. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable, and every detail was arranged for a relaxing stay. What truly sets this place apart are the hosts, Jeanne and Michael and their staff. They are all exceptional — warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure guests feel at home. Their hospitality made all the difference. They gave me great tips for my trip down the garden route following my stay. And the breakfast? Absolutely perfect — homemade, delicious, and the best way to start the day. I can’t recommend Bayflower Guest House enough. Whether you're visiting for a few days or longer, this is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again.

NorwayFor the rooms at the ground floor the sockets are too far from the bed, and also you could hear the top neighbors a lot. For the top floor rooms both things are covered (usb sockets from both sides of the bed and no top neighbors). Really nothing else to comment, this place is really a gem
Both hosts are very pleasant people and are helpful, received many city tips from them. The breakfast exceeded expectations, and the breakfast area is beautiful. One day I've had a tour so had to leave before breakfast time, so I've received a personal breakfast pack with fresh fruits, granola, and yoghurt. The rooms have enough space, comfy beds, hangers for clothes, hairdryer and mini fridge. There are sockets both usb and regular, and for regular ones there are international adapters. Shower gel, shampoo and hand soap smell mild but wonderful and are environmentally friendly.

United KingdomBayflowers guest house was a beautiful place to stay whilst visiting Cape Town. Michael and Jeanne were wonderful hosts and were extremely accommodating, especially with letting me arrive early and stash my bags so that I could head out to explore the city before my official check in time. The room was comfortable and perfect for what I needed. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer to really make the most of the host's hospitality. For a solo traveller, I couldn't have felt more secure and looked after. Thank you!
