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 reviewThere really aren't any positives about this accommodation.
This place is located in a seemingly unsafe and unhygienic neighbourhood/location where I would not advise any families to reside in. The photos displayed in the advertisement and the reviews are inaccurate and false. We booked the place based on the property's photos but, unfortunately, due to the reasons mentioned above we didn't live there but changed our accommodation late evening.
Are you not even ashamed that you stood us up 7 hours waiting for you to show up, then you change your mind last minute and are not even remorseful. If we had not kept calling you, we would have waited the whole night. then after all that you still decide to cyber bully us. How can you judge our place when you have never been there. you are lying that we put fake photos yet you never even met us or got to check in. You didn't even get to the parking where you made us wait from 3 till 10pm, a possibility that you even got lost. It is not fair you judge a place because of the area, you should have done your research and know Parow is not upmarket like the Waterfront where you were coming from. You can't go to the Waterfront and expect to see premium water front standards in Parow. Again we ask any visitors to do their research. it is very uncalled for that you don't know Cape Town and want to pin your experience on our apartment especially when you have never been there. mind you, all our positive reviews are from real people, some usually request extensions and some keep returning to their "home away from home". Our place remains the best in the area regardless of what you say. There are already families staying on the very same secure complex which has cameras and an electric fence so how can you claim that it is not safe and it is not clean. you never even go to the place perhaps you were even lost. how can you say that you cannot advise families to stay there, are you saying that people staying there are animals? Your tone seems racist and you see other people as beneath you. we are glad you never got to stay as we definitely would never want to deal with such abusive guests. We pride ourselves in providing the best accommodation services at affordable prices in Parow. If you feel you could do better then you should go to where you can afford, otherwise why would you come and book somewhere which is priced accordingly. Go book at the waterfront where accommodation starts from R3000 a night and leave us peasants alone. That is just common sense.

Verified reviewThe house had everything you needed. The house is exactly as per the images
The other places I've booked, they don't ask for an ID however here we had to provide our ID's for the owner to take pictures. We also have to write down our ID numbers on a form we signed. It just felt a bit weird because at other places they don't request for personal info such as that. For this reason I would not want to go back there

Verified reviewThe flat on the outside looks dodgi, if pictures from outside the flat were provided, I would have not opted to stay there. Inside the flat you find comfort and a good place to stay in.
the accodation inside is to beautiful, for that area. The flights that are landing almost every 30/40 minutes are very noisy. The place is far from activities in Cape Town.
Thank you for your feedback. We understand you booked the place in an attempt to seek affordable accommodation in Cape Town, and that is exactly what we provided you with. There are plenty of beautiful places in Cape Town, and plenty of activities, they are not all in one centralised location. I am not sure if activities are centralised where you are from but in Cape town there are plenty of activities in different directions. Perhaps you assume the V and A waterfront is the only place in Cape town with activities. Anyway here is a list of amenities that we are close to besides public transport which is just a block behind us: Disctances To: Cape Town International Airport Western Cape: 11.22 Km (6 miles), 17mins Waterfront Western Cape Total distance: 21.303 Km (13 miles) Travel Time: 19 minutes Camps Bay beach Western Cape Total distance: 24.78 Km (15 miles)Travel Time: 25 minutes 43 seconds Bloubergstrand beach Western Cape Total distance: 18.791 Km (11 miles)Travel Time: 24 minutes 18 seconds Century City: -12,1km , 13minute Table mountain: 21,5km, 31mins just to name a few. Parow center is actually a walking distance from us, about 5 blocks away. Our top priority is to ensure our clients feel at home during their stay at very affordable rates. I am sorry, but I do not think it is fair to blame us on your budget. The price you paid for the whole week, is not even enough to cover 1 nights stay at any of the places you claim to have activities, especially in December. I'm not sure what you mean by saying the outside is dodgy, but perhaps you should have done your research first to find out about Parow, the area you will be going to. You cannot blame us for circumstances beyond our control. It is highly impractical to compare the Waterfront to any other area in Cape Town. If our apartment was in a high class area, then obviously the price you paid for the week would be half the price for each night. Our main focus is to provide accommodation for those in need, in Parow. No where on our listing did we ever offer to provide you with activities. Even before you came we did remind you that you are coming to an apartment in a block of flats, we never said you are coming to a hotel, neither did we promise to offer anything beyond accommodation. Perhaps next time please research the place where you want to go and check the activities you want to do first, then perhaps book closer to the area if your budget affords. We pride ourselves as the best so far in that area as we continue to offer the best accommodation to those in need at the most affordable prices.
