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 reviewDelicious breakfast every morning, nicely presented in a picnic style basket and served in a closed in patio with beautiful view and fireplace for cold mornings. Freshly baked croissants, rolls and muffins. Every day the egg dish is new, or can be adjusted to your own taste. Our rooms were big, well equipped, spotless with lovely underfloor heating. Host and other staff were all very friendly, professional and accommodating. Can highly recommend!

Verified reviewThis is one of the best Bed & Breakfast properties I’ve ever stayed at! The impeccably clean, luxurious, and spacious bedroom and bathroom truly stand out. The creative breakfast basket was a delightful and unique touch—something I’ve never experienced before. The beautifully landscaped gardens, filled with a variety of plants and flowers, add to the charm. The host was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, even when I accidentally misplaced my room key and had to wake him at dawn to open the gate. A truly memorable stay!
Located in a residential neighborhood, the property offers limited opportunities for walking or outdoor activities on-site. Additionally, the pool is situated directly in front of the rooms, which may not be ideal for those seeking more privacy.

Verified reviewThe view is incredible. The breakfasts are delicious (the pastries and croissants were SO fresh), and the attention to detail is impressive. The rooms are beautifully decorated. The glass house where we worked and had breakfast was so quaint and comfortable. The views from there are lovely. Richard and Bart, our hosts, made the stay very memorable and special. They are so professional and welcoming and do everything with excellence. Cape Vermeer will definitely be our go-to place when we stay in that part of the Cape.

Verified reviewThis is a #1 Guesthouse. It is easy to see why it gained the Tripadvisor Travellers Choice Best of the Best 2021/22/23! Richard the host was outstanding. He took a personal interest in our enjoyment and satisfaction at the property. The breakfast was outstanding in every respect, with care and attention to the provision of fresh ingredients and freshly cooked dishes. The bed comfort is superior with mattresses that provided excellent support and comfort. Finally, the setting is wonderful with views over False Bay and the Heldeberg Mountain. What more could you ask for.....! We have visited Somerset West for over 20 years and this is by far the best accomodation experience we have enjoyed. We will certainly return.
Nothing!

Verified reviewIf you are looking for a peaceful and quiet retreat to explore Cape Town's surrounding coastal and wine areas than look no further. The host Richard (and his friendly staff) are exceptional in looking into all details and providing you a "Home away from home". The thoughts put into the breakfast presentation and quality is second to none. Loved every minute of our stay!

Verified reviewThe room was absolutely gorgeous and had everything you could possibly need. Richard and all of the team are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the best we've ever had - freshly cooked and baked goodies every morning and kindly adapted to suit any dietary requirements. The pool area is lovely and we often had it to ourselves during the day. There's some great wine estates within a short drive as well.

Verified reviewWe enjoyed our stay at Cape Vermeer so much for so many reasons! Starting with the beautiful location in serene surroundings and luxurious and comfortable room (with attention to every detail). Furthermore, Richard was an amazing host; very customer friendly and helpful, really top notch! But his staff was also very friendly, with Blessing standing out the most. What a hardworking and cheerful man, he put a smile on your face every time. And last but not least the super tasty breakfast, with lots of fresh products and delicious egg dishes, made by Richard himself. In short, an absolute must! Do not hesitate but do it!
