How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe room was clean with a comfortable bed, and I received a warm and friendly welcome on arrival, with a little tour of the house. I really liked the honesty bar, where you can easily purchase water, soda, beer, wine, and more, it adds a nice touch. The whole place has a cozy, homely feeling, with only a few rooms spread across two floors, so it never feels too crowded. Breakfast is served in what feels like a comfortable living room, which makes the experience feel even more personal. As a vegetarian who’s also lactose intolerant, I really appreciated how the host and chef took the time to prepare something suitable for me, it made me feel well looked after. I came here for a calm weekend before a busy work week, and it was exactly what I needed. The area feels very safe, and I could walk to restaurants at night or simply stroll around without any worries. For fellow vegetarians or vegans, I can recommend nearby spots like Kauai and Tiger’s Milk, which both have good plant-based options.
On the downside, the town can feel very quiet at times, almost a little too calm. As a solo traveler, I sometimes found it tricky to find places to meet and engage with new people. The house itself was also quite chilly; when it’s cold outside, it tends to be cold inside too. I visited in August, and I’d definitely recommend bringing some warm socks or cozy layers if you’re traveling around that time of year. This didn't take away the good experience, but I'm just mentioning this as an honest recommendation, but I'm still happy with the experience and place all in all ☺️
Thanks Helin, To agree with you it has been the coldest winter we have experienced. We went inland for a weekend 2 weeks ago to feel warmer. It was freezing there too. The weather will be warming up the next couple of days so hope you enjoy your conference in Stellenbosch and some great hiking trails. Lovely to have you come stay. Take care! Kind regards The Muize Family

The noise throughout the night of what might have been a generator. The lack of mixer taps in the bathroom, so the water was boiling hot from one tap and cold from another.
Thank you Shirene. Pity you didn't let the office know, you were battling to sleep. With a cancellation there was a downstairs room available, that they could have moved you to. Take care! Kind regards The Muize Family

Verified reviewWell appointed room Friendly staff Old world colonial charm Excellent books and games in the shared living area Plenty of outdoor space at the back Good quality bedding Secure parking if you have a car Balcony overlooking the vlei and a sideways view of the sea Ideal location for Zandvlei parkrun
Shower in shared bathroom is difficult to gain consistent temperature It is a short drive from the restaurants at the seafront. I walked it as I didn’t have a car and it didn’t feel safe at night as there was no one around.
Thank you for letting us know about the shower. We will definitely look into it. Take care! Kind regards The Muize Family

Verified reviewThe whole team of staff were friendly and went out of their way on numerous occasions - we we're able to leave our luggage when we arrived early; and they stayed on and made sure we got a cooked breakfast one morning we returned outside the scheduled time without being asked. Great location for the reserve and the front. Perfect location for the local parkrun.
Thank you so much Paul. Lovely to meet the 2 of you on your park run holiday. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday. Take care! Kind regards The Muize Family
