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 reviewThe location was perfect, the room had two beds which suited my sister and I well The bathroom was big. There is adequate kitchen facilities even though we didn't use them. The village /complex where the apartment was situated is super convenient and very quite. Overall very nice and would book again.
The room could use a super deep clean, such as the venetian blinds, under the beds and the grouting in the bathroom. It was okay for us to stay for two nights. We were having issues with the wifi, it was on and off and was super slow the whole time. We were out at wine tasting and a wedding so we didn't stay in the room other than to sleep.

Verified reviewWell-equipped, excellent location close to the heart of Franschhoek, obliging host, huge comfortable king-size bed, fabulous shower, everything you could possibly want including a hair dryer, small fridge with ice trays, large antique cupboard and free parking - a real bonus in Franschhoek.
Initially, the apartment was not ready since the host was under the impression we were only arriving the following day. However, he made up for the error by providing flowers and wine for us. Thank you George!

There were only 2 pans we missed having a pot A bigger mat in winter would be nice as the tiles are a bit cold.

Verified reviewReally just around the corner from wine tram, and walking distance to main road of Franschhoek. Very large room and bathroom.
If I remember well, there were no black-out curtains, so the room does not get completely dark at night.

Verified reviewThe location was excellent, a short walk to the wine tram. The apartment was spacious.
The place needs a renovation and new furniture. The bed was not great and the place felt more like a hostel.

Verified reviewThe location was excellent for the wine tram and the host kindly agreed for us to park our car at the property in the morning before checking in. Luckily, when we arrived early/min-morning, the cleaner was still in the room. She was very friendly and she gave us the keys and showed us which parking we could use as this was not clear. The room was clean and had everything we needed.
The room was on the ground floor which I had not realised. This would have been fine but there were no burglar bars and in particular, the front door had no security gate which made my friend and I (two girls) anxious about safety. Although the area seemed fine, the host could do more from a safety point of view. I imagine the entrance gate is probably manned at night by security guards, but the host should let guests know if this is the case to allay any fears.

Verified reviewClose to the wine tram bus Organised for power shedding
The description was very misleading: it said bright space when in fact it was a bunker: impossible to open windows for safety and privacy. Incredibly humid and stinky. Run down, not very clean (carpets, floors and kitchen especially) Beds for 4 ppl but all the kitchenware was for 3 ppl

Verified reviewGreat location. Lovely host.
It needs some serious love and attention. Mats need a good clean as well as under the bed. Drains smelled really bad. It has so much potential but it just isn't taken care of :(

Verified reviewShort walk to the Wine Tram and the coffee shop. Basically, just a place to sleep. The bed was ok to sleep on.
No view from the room. The towels were rock-hard and the throw pillows on the bed I slept in were dirty.
