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 AfricaThere was nothing that we didn't like.
The accommodation is exactly as you see in the photos. It is exceptionally clean and well equipped with everything we needed and wanted. We were there for 5 nights and the beds are very comfortable and the shower water always piping hot. Michelle is a wonderful hostess who catered for our every need. We even received freshly baked muffins on our 3rd evening. Thank you Michelle. It was our second stay with you and we will definitely be back.

AustraliaI'd have to really think hard to find something not to like. Some may find the parking arrangements and arranging vehicles, if the garage option is chosen, a little awkward, however Kevin and Michelle manage this superbly. Their communication and management skills for the parking arrangements were exceptional and there was never an instant during the 4 weeks of our stay where garaging or taking the car out was an issue. Well done guys. There is also additional off street parking in front of the property.
The Hosts, Kevin and Michelle, were absolutely the best you could ask for. Nothing was a problem for them. Well done K & M. Communication was second to none, with any requests attended to immediately. The unit was clean, tidy and spacious, with more than adequate wardrobe and storage space. The kitchen was reasonably equipped with all the necessities to prepare meals when required. The bed was very comfortable. There were also those little personal touched that really made us feel like we were at home. The location is a short walking distance to a supermarket, the railway station, The Zandflei and less than 2 kilometers from Muizenberg and the beach. Everything for a perfect stay. Thank you, Michelle and Kevin for your kind hospitality.

United StatesEarlier this year we traveled from New York City and stayed at an Airbnb nestled in quiet suburban Lakeside, Cape Town, and it was a comfortable and memorable stay. The property is ideally situated, offering both peaceful seclusion and easy access to some of Cape Town’s most iconic attractions. The Airbnb is located above a garage with its own separate entrance. Tastefully furnished, it blends modern comforts with light touches of local charm. The interiors are simply but well decorated, with a soothing color palette and cozy elements that make you feel right at home. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the comfortable bedroom to the stylish living spaces. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the living room provides a perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. On the wettest, coldest winter nights, you may need to ask for an extra blanket but otherwise the apartment is well insulated and cosy. One of the highlights of this stay was the hospitality. The owners, Kevin and Michelle. are friendly, welcoming, and genuinely care about their guests’ comfort. While they maintain a very respectful distance, they check in periodically to ensure everything is going well. This balance of attentiveness without being intrusive made for a stress-free and enjoyable experience. They are also full of helpful local tips if you want to learn more about the area or need recommendations. The location is a perfect mix of tranquil residential surroundings and proximity to all the attractions of False Bay. Muizenberg beach, St. James and Kalk Bay are all just a short drive or train ride away, offering a beautiful stretch of coastline with a laid-back vibe. Additionally, the nearby mountains provide fantastic hiking opportunities and scenic views. There’s a great nearby cafe, serving good coffee and light food, located in a small shopping complex, with Woolworths as the flagship store.

The extra touches were wonderful. The welcome sign, chocolate on the bed, microwave popcorn for a movie night made my stay feel homey. Michelle and Kevin checked up on me to make sure I was okay and gave me suggestions on places I should visit. The loft is about a 10 minute drive to st James beach and about 30 mins away from Simon’s town, convenient and comfortable place to stay when exploring the South. I definitely see myself visiting again. Thank you both.

South AfricaIt was all Great!
They were awesome hosts! This place was just great, and I will certainly return. I brought my Father along and I originally flew from overseas to get a new U.S Visa, but ended staying for 2 weeks. The location is great, very close to Muizenberg, and Tokai the other way, also two main roads and a highway leading to three main directions. There's a very nice supermarket and little centre just down the road, and the pizza place does great pizzas if you want to Order in. I loved sitting on the patio late afternoon just staring up at the Tokai mountains, a spectacular view. The loft's design is really cool, spacious, and very clean. The loft's windows are also very nicely placed to draw in the breeze from the mountain. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The smart t.v as well as the WiFi speed was great. I will certainly return here time and time again, this place is perfect
