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.).

Nothing just a suggestion around the transitioning alert of the stairs for safety purpose, it can easily be a tripping harzard.

Verified reviewThis 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 ..
There 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...

Verified reviewThe 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.
One 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

Verified reviewAn 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.
The house (and the pool area) could do with some refurbishment, also due to the proximity of the ocean. Other than that, no complaints!

Verified reviewLocation of the property was amazing with beautiful views of the sea and beach, very quiet and private. The house was equipped with everything one would need while staying there. Complimentary fruit, small snack, water and wine were also provided - a nice touch!
Very late check-in (3pm) and early check-out (9am). The house and finishes are getting run down, some maintenance needed.
