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.).

United KingdomVery friendly & helpful hosts. Great location for walks to Boulders Beach & drives to the Cape of Good Hope. Plus, the nightly visits of the porcupines did not disappoint.

South AfricaNothing not to like.
The apartment is near our favourite part of Simonstown and very clean. The owners are very friendly and there were little extras like milk, coffee and tea and cookies. The shower had shower gel and shampoo. There is a beautiful sea view from the veranda. The visiting porcupines are a special experience.

South AfricaThe hosts welcomed us warmly and were very kind and considerate. They allowed the secretive nightly visits of a wild porcupine which was a thrill.

South AfricaThere's no stove, but, if you're travelling for a few days - there are lots of restaurants to choose from! If you're staying for a relatively long period of time, just buy a one plate (electric) which is what I did and you'll be fine. :) Bev was more than happy for me to use the electric plate to cook!
Bev and her family were absolutely fantastic! It was my first time in Cape Town and I was faced with a few challenges but Bev really helped out - and was always ready to lend a helping hand wherever possible. They made my stay comfortable, and always checked in to see if everything was running smoothly. The malls are close by and there are quite a few restaurants in close proximity to the residence. The porcupines are frequent visitors, and they're absolutely fascinating to watch! WiFi was a huge plus since reception is not the best in the town (with my cell provider atleast). Safe area with a nice little view of the ocean.

Despite us being very late Beverley met us and personally gave us the keys and made sure we are settled. and comfortable. The property is small but clean, private and very cosy, with great view from the balcony and even some amazing guests ( i.e. the porcupines) . The walk to the beach or the Simonstown Country club (for a nice breakfast) is literally a breeze. The hosts were great too. THANK YOU Beverley and Chris!

United KingdomNothing.
The property was compact but perfectly adequate for our needs. We were out a lot so this was our base for sleeping and as it turned out was very close to friends we were visiting.

GermanyOne of the best 2 places in our 3 weeks S.A. roadtrip ! These guys are so welcoming and overwhelming. We had a lot of good discussions and got so much informations about the area ! The place is a bit outside of Simon's town but only 10-15 minutes walking distance away from the boulders beach penguin place. Very safe if you travel by rental car as well ! They feed the porcupines by dusk in front of your huge windows, so that you have a 99 % chance to see them close 2 your nose. They only have 1 appartment to rent, so if you got the chance : book it !

GermanyEverything was perfect!!! Bev is such a lovely lady and she and her family made us feel at home the whole time. The studio is very clean, beautiful, spacious, safe and comfortable. It is quiet and just a short walk away from Boulder beach and a 20 min walk to Simons town. As we work during the week, the wifi is quite important for us and it works perfectly, even when there is loadshedding, it continues to work. We could see the porcupine very often in our terrace, and it is such a unique experience. There is also golf club next door with a nice restaurant. We loved our stay here and we cannot recommend it enough!! We hope to come back soon 🙏❤️

South AfricaThe fridge is a bar fridge, would like a normal bigger fridge, we had to ask the neighbor to keep our meat for us. Maybe a security door so one can leave the sliding door open at night for more fresh air and also the sea could be heard at night.
Walking distance to the beach. Simonstad is a very quiet suburb. Our stay was 3 days, just too short to experience everything there is to do. We had breakfast at the local golf club, excellent and value for money, people were very friendly. The owner who stayed on the property was putting out food so we could see the porcupine, and we were in luck, we saw one, huge I must say. And we also saw the penguins it was lovely to see them so close. We will go back to Simonstad and make time to visit the Fleet Museum. The nature reserve takes a whole day not something one can do in an hour or two, that was also amazing. The hosts who stayed on the premises were very friendly and helpful at all times.
