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...).

South AfricaI like quality modern bathroom sanware but the taps were dated without mixers which I suppose is historically appropriate for the property. Not a dealbreaker but just a personal choice.
The personalized welcome by Ilzebet and the continued interaction was excellent. Parking was over the road and convenient. Bed was comfortable and the room was very pleasant. Breakfast was very good. We shall stay again next time.

United KingdomWell located, convenient for the town, bars and restaurants. Amazing big rooms/ bathrooms. Very friendly staff and welcoming owner/ manager. Sherry , free sweets and biscuits in the room. TV in the room was a bit small but there were large TVs in the many communal lounges. Expected a continental breakfast but was surprised to be offered a cooked breakfast. Shame we had to dash back to Cape town for a flight. Would have loved to linger and enjoy it more. Would book there again if we returned.

South AfricaVery bright outside passage or bacony lights that was switched on during the night allowed unwanted light into the room. Room would benefit from curtains in addition to the wooden blinds.

South AfricaSoundproofing in the room was poor. The room was very light at night due to there being no curtains on the hallway windows, only blinds which does not fully block out the light. Staff started vacuuming in the room next door at 8am on a Saturday morning, which was a bit unnecessary, however, this is probably amplified due to the poor soundproofing.
Lovely residence in an excellent location. The facility is well kept with nice amenities and the staff is very friendly. Spacious rooms which are nicely decorated. Breakfast was well presented and very good.

South AfricaWe had a warm and friendly welcome, and every interaction with the staff was a pleasure. The entire establishment is spotless, with timeless décor and furniture that not only complements the building’s character but is also highly functional. The location is excellent—within easy walking distance of numerous great restaurants, as well as the Endler Hall. We’ll definitely be back!

South AfricaMy partner and I loved every second of our stay at De Hoek Manor. Ilzebet was incredibly helpful, friendly and professional. We loved breakfast and the breakfast room. The staff were also very attentive. Our room was stunning with views of Church street and the church. The location is as central as it gets with a choice of restaurants a few steps away. There is also secure off road parking. The room and bathroom were very spacious and clean and the bed was big and comfy. There was air-conditioning, decent cupboard space and a mirror/hairdryer for me to do my make up and hair. There were complimentary chocolates, rusks, tea and coffee pods and a Nespresso machine which made my day. It was really an exceptional stay and I can see a lot of effort and thought goes into the presentation and management of the space! I would definitely return! :)

United KingdomWe had a lovely, large room with a huge bed. There was a fridge with still and sparkling water and also a small milk. The water used was replaced daily. Breakfast was amazing. It was presented really nicely with different homemade items like quiche and scones on different days. There were also fresh fruits and yoghurt and a cooked breakfast to be had, so much it was a shame we couldn’t eat it all! The location was great, just round the corner from shops and restaurants and guarded parking was across the street.

De Hoek Manor was perfectly located just around the corner from restaurants and bars. Parking was secure. Everything about the manor was upmarket and luxurious and very comfortable. The breakfast was served to your table and included all the traditional items as well as fruit smoothies. A lovely start to our day. De Hoek Manor is reminiscent of the days when customers were really valued and nothing was too much trouble . The owner could not have been more helpful or accommodating. It was a beautiful experience and well worth the money.
