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.).

Property is stunningly located on the beach front at Yzerfontein with direct access down to the beach - the view from the downstairs apartment is directly looking out to the ocean. The host, Karin and her team, wer exceptionally welcoming and communication was excellent - from a whatsapp prior to arrival with a location pin and parking, to meeting you on arrival and showing you around the apartment. The apartment is of an extremely high standard - high end appliances, stunning Mervyn Gers ceramic crockery (if you know you know!), a nespresso machine etc. There is a little nook with a comfy sofa and the tv has DSTV, netflix, electric blanket, plenty of charging ports, a wood burner fire with logs. All in all, myself and my daughter had a delightful, restful stay. Yzerfontein itself is quiet and peaceful. We went for supper at the new restaurant, The Beach House (you can book on dineplan) and it was also one of the best meals we have had out for a while.

South AfricaAbsolutely loved everything! The villa is beautifully built, luxurious and well kept. The pictures don’t do justice. Although it’s self catering, the host went out of her way to get our favourite luxurious coffee, cookies and olive oil - considering it’s the olive tree villa😄 She also surprised us with yummy treats for my husband’s birthday and breakfast on our last day. Thank you Karin, we’ll definitely be back soon.

Wow – what an unbelievably special place. The Olive Tree is one of the best places we have ever stayed. We both had high expectations from reading so many great reviews before arriving, however our stay still exceeded expectations. The property and gardens are simply beautiful, and the view is out of this world – you can even see Cape Town in the distance! The place has everything you need for a luxurious, relaxing and beautiful stay. Watching the sunset and even the dolphins playing in the sea whilst having our evening meal was a sight we would have never tired of! Karin and the team however are what make The Olive Tree even more special. The friendly team are always busy at work striving to make your stay as comfortable and wonderful as possible without imposing on your privacy. We have nothing but positive things to stay about our stay – highly recommend!! Thank you!
