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 reviewStaying at Top Deck is like going home during the varsity Holliday, treats and spoils everywhere and being pampered and spoiled the whole time. The flat self is very nice and roomy, really good view. Lovely shower and nice bed with good mattress. Shower gel, shampoo etc is supplied. The kitchen is very well geared out, we cooked quite a few meals there! There are board games etc, and magazines and books to read. Very easy to drive were ever you need to be and close to a huge and really good OK grocery store. I would not call it"short walking distance" from the beach, if you like walking you can definitely walk there though, and at worst it will be 5 mins drive. Really quick to get to Cape L Agulhas too!!
The wooden floor boards creak a bit, haha, but really actually everything is perfect. If you don't know the Struisbaai area, you might get a fright when you drive to top deck as you might think you are staying in the industrial area...as you leave the main road area and then pass the small industrial area, but trust me the location is great, so don't let that be a worry.

Verified reviewThe little extras & the friendliest hostess. There was everything that a person might forget to pack at home. Even complimentary yoghurt in the fridge & beer ☺️ As a couple we would definitely recommend as a romantic getaway.

Verified reviewOur recent stay at Top Deck in Struisbaai was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Iona, our gracious hostess, made us feel incredibly welcome. Her thoughtful touches—refreshing drinks in the fridge, delectable chocolates, and a beautifully maintained space—instantly made us feel at home. The accommodation itself is immaculate, reflecting a keen attention to detail and a commitment to guest comfort. Every amenity we could possibly need was provided, ensuring a seamless and relaxing experience. The highlight, however, was the stunning view over Struisbaai, which offered a serene backdrop to our stay. Top Deck is truly a gem and a must-visit for anyone seeking a tranquil and luxurious getaway. We left feeling refreshed and deeply appreciative of the care and hospitality extended to us. Highly recommended!
Nothing that we did not like.
We value your kind words. Your feedback is music in our ears.

Verified reviewVery warm welcome from Iona when we arrived. Lovely array of small treats and drinks provided. Excellent value for money. Comfortable clean spacious accommodation which provided everything we needed. Large decent fridge.
Let down a bit by the ambience. Veranda overlooks some sort of warehouse complex. Veranda door rattles noisily in the wind.

Verified reviewExcellent accommodation and hostess. The apartment is beautiful, comfortable and very cozy. Every detail reflects the love that has been put into this space. It has an incredible view and is very well located. The hostess was very kind and attentive to each of our needs. It was a special place to rest on our way through the Garden Route, which is why we decided to extend our stay. We recommend it to all travelers who pass through Cabo de las Agujas.
