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 StatesWe stayed here for 3 nights. It was very spacious for my husband and me. It could fit 4 adults comfortably. It was a great location with easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Henk was very friendly and provided lots of information about the neighborhood and Cape Town. I would definitely stay here again!

BrazilWe really enjoyed our stay! The apartment is very comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen, complete bathrooms with great showers, and good quality towels and bed linens. One of the bedrooms doesn’t have a heater or air conditioning, but that didn’t affect our stay. There’s a charming fireplace in the living room that heats the space nicely. The highlight is definitely the amazing terrace with a stunning view of Table Mountain – unfortunately, it was too cold to fully enjoy it during our visit, but it’s a fantastic feature!

United StatesEverything was great! No notes.
The location was great. The apartment perfectly suited our needs and had anything we possibly needed for our week long stay. We loved the private rooftop patio. Guido was quick to respond to any questions we had about Cape Town and checked in on us throughout the week. We would highly recommend Purple House and we would stay again.

United KingdomThe shared rooftop terrace had almost no lighting so in the evening we weren’t able to sit up there and eat which was a shame. The washer / dryer are shared with other apartments which means you have to go out and access a different area, which wasn’t a big issue but a bit inconvenient and would have been good to know in advance. There was no cleaning service at all even though we had 5 nights. The hosts emptied our bins and towels when we asked which was appreciated. But for what we paid we thought it would be cleaned at some point. The lights in the bathroom permanently flicker so we couldn’t have them turned on - just flagging so hosts know for future guests this wasn’t a big issue :) these are all small things and would not deter us from staying in future!
Amazing location, super safe with security on the streets and our car was fine parked out front the whole stay. Super friendly and helpful staff that will answer questions on what’s app anytime! It stays so cool in the apartment too that we only put the bedroom AC on at night. Really clean and nicely furnished inside the apartment with great facilities! Super quiet at night too with no disturbance or issues. Cooking facilities were all excellent too. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay here, would recommend!

United KingdomThe hosts were kind and accommodating when we arrived early from an international flight and allowed us to store our luggage before check in. The accommodation exceeded our expectations and we loved the ground floor house. It was very spacious and comfortable and with a beautiful sitting room and kitchen and private balcony. There was great attention to detail with the interior design and home comforts. The area is peaceful and quiet and felt safe. Despite being ground floor accommodation, there were a few steps leading up to the entrance which may impact people with mobility issues.

Amazing location in the heart of De Waterkant yet the house was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Comfortable big bed and a strong shower (little things like this make all the difference to me)
