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.).

Great folks, lovely place to stay over. Super friendly and great advice where to take a morning walk. Even offered to make reservations at some restaurants in town without asking. We got the upstairs floor and they stayed in their mancave :)

South AfricaSurely a beautiful home away from home, in a magnificent, serene area - was like visiting family. Thank you Jaco & Liz for your hospitality. The warm porridge every morning and the guidance with Aiden's first braai was surely a bonus. We appreciate the grace and generosity you showed during our stay. God bless, and hopefully we will meet up again. 🙏🤗

South AfricaUpon arrival we were greeted by our hosts, Jaco and Liz who were both very welcoming. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in their home. We were even treated to an amazing braai; the salad was even made from fresh produce from their garden - delicious. Jaco and Liz went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible and we were able to relax and enjoy our short break-away and enjoy some fresh sea air.

South AfricaThis is a general comment that applies to most accommodations available country wide. It is extremely difficult to find accommodation with 2 single beds, which we require, instead of a double bed, without taking a unit for 4 people. We also far prefer a top sheet as we find duvets too hot in summer
One could not ask for kinder, friendlier, more considerate, and helpful host and hostess. We felt completely at home and enjoyed chatting to them. The beautifully cool seabreeze on the upstairs verandah was such a welcome respite from the excessive heat of Stellenbosch. In walking distance of the sea. Spacious loft room with ample place to put your suitcases

South AfricaThe Lovely couple welcomed us with open arms even though we checked in very late and we had a very friendly next morning with a good cup of coffee, they made us feel like we wanted to stay longer and get to know them. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a quick place to stay the night especially in hermanus when it's so difficult to find a place open and not fully booked.

South AfricaThe couple im sure mean well but them moving into the garage whiilst we occupied their house didnt sit right with me. Also there is no privacy especially to braai as the braai is near where the owners sleep. We also caught them more than once sneaking nto the area we rented thinking we couldnt hear or see them doing so. Thats not on. Also we are none smokers so walking oit the front door and smelling cogarrete smoke always was no great for us. We travel all over the world so we know whats fair and whats not. U should ensure when u advertise that u say the owners are on site and certain areas shared. Check your upstairs shower as water is cold. You told us on arrival the fireplace wasnt working then take it off your advert. It was freezing in that place. Not an enjoyable stay
