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.).

South AfricaWe love staying at Hout Bay Manor, not only is it walkable to shops and beach, it's set back off the main road so it's peaceful. It's classy and stylish, personal and the food is great. Highly recommended.

South AfricaOther than the breakfast, the time to deliver food was way too long. The hotel should focus on ensuring that food orders are delivered in a reasonable time.
The hotel, rooms, location and staff were amazing. We travelled as a group and feedback from all was positive.

United KingdomUnfortunately the bathrooms were not great, the taps were very difficult to use as was the shower - in my room it had been installed at an angel so you could not run the shower before getting in. The plumbing in my son's room (sink and shower) were extremely loud, which meant they had to use my room whilst the baby was asleep. We did only stay for 1 night so I am unable to say if the bathroom situation would have been fixed if we were staying for a longer period of time. The other downfall of the hotel is the amenities close very early at 10pm so if you are travelling and arrive late, both restaurant and bar are closed
The hotel is beautiful and very close to town. The staff are extremely helpful and very pleasant. I travelled with my son and his family which included my 1.5yr old grandson, the hotel was very accommodating to our needs and even kept the Chef on later than usual to allow my Daughter-in-law to put her son to bed. Our bedrooms were delightful in decor and the whole hotel and a homely warm to it. We had to leave early for our flight which meant missing breakfast, they kindly put breakfast bags together for us which were really good and full of choice.

United KingdomNothing really. Loved everything about Hout Bay Manor. Note that it is a bit far from the central area of Cape Town, so a car is recommended.
Absolutely wonderful experience at Hout Bay Manor. Gorgeous house, with beautifully decorated, spacious room. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious, varied, and fresh. The beds are really comfortable, and amenities with everything you need. Would definitely go back.
