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 KingdomThere was nothing i didn't like. But I am a host too so always find feedback very helpful. The new owner has done a good job on upgrading the bedrooms and the main living area. The kitchen is a bit tired now and could do with a bit of attention and the outside area could do with some more sun loungers there were five of us and only two loungers ( I realise i am being a bit picky here) but i don't normally come in a large group so normally it doesn't matter. Someone else also said this but just some clothes dryers would be helpful so not to have to use the tumble dryers...
This is my fourth time staying at Villa Misty Cliffs which means I probably need to say no more. Location is stunning, design of the house is amazing... it looks like the new owner has made some nice upgrades in the bedrooms and the living area. The outside area is lovely and well equipped with pool and jacuzzi which is perfect for sundowners. Melody who greeted us and was our main contact was fantastic I left my apple watch charger there and she drove to Simons town to hand it over to me.! . beyond the call of duty i think. We were there during the Cape Town cycle race which added an interesting dimension to the trip.. was great watching them all cycle by with the backdrop of the beautiful misty cliffs beach. I will be coming again.. everyone i have taken there just falls in love with the place. Oh and if anyone has said about baboons in previous reviews.. it looks like they have moved on ..

United KingdomOne of the bathrooms was being refurbed and not finished and let off a bad smell in the TV room at night. The hosts were very apologetic and trying to sort it asap. The sun beds outside definitely need modernising. And no where to dry your washing, could do with a washing line. But no of this was a big issue as house was so lovely and relaxing
The view was unbelievable. Beds very comfy. Lovely large size house right on the beach. The pool size was perfect for my two kids and the jacuzzi was great for the cooler days. The TV room was comfy and great for movie night. Loved the two washing machines after having a pile of clothes from our earlier part of our trip. The local town of Scarborough you can walk to no problem either on the road or beach path with a bit of road. It’s safe and lots of people do it. Only one mile away and has four restaurants and a play ground. For groceries we were able to get delivered. Ubers usually take 10-15mins to come to you as more remote there. Would definitely return.

GermanyThe house (and the pool area) could do with some refurbishment, also due to the proximity of the ocean. Other than that, no complaints!
An incredibly beautiful and serene location. Wonderful views all day long with a private beach to enjoy. It was great having a pool in addition to the ocean and we didn't feel the need to leave the house at all - it was just amazing.

MonacoI cannot complain about any small niggles when the overall experience was so good.
The location is overwhelmingly beautiful. The house is located so close to the beach that if you open the doors the sounds of the surf fills all the rooms. Jacuzzi as in the photos you feel as if there is nothing but the surf and beach surrounding you. May visit was a bit cold for the pool so we stayed in the jacuzzi, walked along the beach, and visited the local village organic shop, cape of good hope, amazing to see baboons roaming along the roads. Excellents hosts, check-in and check-out were made easy.

United KingdomThe fact we had to leave...
My second visit to Villa Misty Cliffs and it did not disappoint.. and it's not called Misty Cliffs for nothing.. - i was taking my friends and had told them lots of positive things about the place The location is absolutely breath taking, the space enormous and all the facilities you could need. No inconvenience due to load shedding as they have their own power so never did the lights go off. Janene and Josh (property managers) were one of the best ones out of all my accommodation this trip.. they greeted us in person and answered every question i had very quickly. I would thoroughly recommend this to other prospective guests, .....after lots of travelling round i didn't really want to leave the villa it's the perfect place to just chill and relax . ideally in the hot tub with a drink watching the sun go down... - Right in the national park so expect to see animals... on the morning we left we even saw 4 otters on the beach..... it is really a very special space and very close to the penguins at Boulders and a short drive to the cape of good hope so a perfect spot if you also want to explore.. Tip! take the Chapmans Peak route if coming from CPT its absolutely stunning drive and well worth the 57 ZAR toll....

South AfricaThe villa is in a stunning location, peaceful, perfect views of the ocean and all the beauty it offers. The pictures don't do it justice, it is beautifully furnished with everything you could possibly need, it also has an inverter so it has uninterrupted power.

United KingdomWe had a few problems with the internet during our stay - it seems that the main tower doesn't always kick back into action when the load-shedding starts. (The property's own back-up ensures that the house lights still function, however). For the majority of the time things were smooth, and the back-up kept the internet going 24/7: but we lost connection for more than 24 hours at the end, when we needed it most. The property manager did everything she could to help, but to no avail. So do take some good books, and fill up your Kindle, and make sure you have some data on your phone.
The location of this villa is simply stupendous. It's directly on the beach, with stunning views of the coast to either side. Amazingly, the beach seems to be relatively unfrequented by locals and tourists - so you have privacy as well. It's a really addictive combination. And the interior has been cleverly designed to maximise the magnificence of the surroundings: the front door opens on to a grand descending staircase, showing double-height views through the enormous picture windows. It's quite jaw-dropping and very luxurious. And all this, with the soothing sound of waves breaking on the shore to add extra relaxation. We certainly hope to return.
