Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwedenSome more convenient options for lunch and dinner at the house would have been nice.
High end facilities with tasteful furnishing and attention to detail for excellence. Personalised service and effort to accommodate us was great as well, making the stay really amazing. Closeness to the Sandy Bay natural beach was a big plus!

Heartwarming welcome from Portia and Cindy. We felt almost at home. This tells a lot as this is something that hardly happens when we are travelling. Everything was perfect, but Portia and Cindy raised the bar even higher.

Saudi ArabiaDoes not have a toilet water spray even though it’s not a popular thing in countries outside the middle east I would love to see more places implementing it. Although food was very good but as a muslim I would have loved if the meat come from a halal source. (Its down the verge of nit picking since the stay was so good)
the overall design and the cleanliness were 10/10 The guest house staff was very friendly and helpful, you truly feel welcomed. Special thanks to Portia and Syndey. I would definetly consider coming back again

SingaporeWe could not find a fault at Vyn Guest House!
Our stay at Vyn Guest House was a truly unforgettable experience! Martina and Klaus are exceptional hosts and have built the most beautiful guest house and worry-free experience. The guest house is state-of-the-art, with every comfort you could imagine - modern luxury. The views from our room over Hout Bay were breathtaking. The breakfast is fantastic: great choice of al-a-carte options, all fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. Excellent coffee (thank you, Klaus!). Fantastic breakfast bar with bread, jams, fruit, yoghurt and granola. 10/10 breakfast! Every detail has been considered and cared for at Vyn Guest House: from the architecture and layout, modern-day conveniences like the luggage lift and facial recognition system, to the communal breakfast table to meet other guests, and the accommodating hosts, Martina and Klaus. Our stay at Vyn Guest House was so enjoyable and relaxing; we hope to return soon.

CanadaThe fact that we only had two nights and didn’t have more time to enjoy the pool.
Beautiful property and hosts. Rooms were spotless, the interior design of the whole guest house was fantastic and the hosts and their staff were warm and welcoming. Coffee was outstanding. Martina and Claus also gave us a great recommendation for a stunning hike on table mountain as well. They made sure when we returned in the evening we were safe and sound. Had a nice afternoon walk down to Sandy Bay beach and a workout coming back up the sand dunes. Worth the hike back up from the beach!
