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 reviewEverything! The location, the apartment as well as utensils provided. We absolutely loved our stay. I suffered from gastro but felt at home and was able to recover there. Its difficult to put into words how much we loved the apartment. The garden was epic with a magnificient view of the sea.
There were not really anything to dislike. The only thing that maybe did not work out for us was the DSTV which did not work during our stay.

Verified reviewThe views The amenities Comfortable bed
The only thing I thought could be improved on, would be the hedges and bushes encroaching on the narrow walkway. If they were trimmed right back, the deck walkway would be an easier and more pleasant experience

Verified reviewWatercolours Studio was one of my best stays ever on the Peninsula. Starting with the best host, Sharon makes you feel at home immediately. The location s perfect with incredible views, all facilities, decor and extra touches makes it 5 star in my books. This would be my first choice of accommodation in this area in the future.

Verified reviewSharon's accommodation is wonderful, Sharon is super nice. I landed in the evening and arrived at Sharon's a little stressed. Their homemade pizza and drinks made me happy. The accommodation is very modern and very clean. I was particularly impressed by the pools (number 2). From there you can watch the sea, just great. Unfortunately my stay was too short. I look forward to seeing you again, dear Sharon. I hope you continue to have great guests and that they appreciate everything you have to offer.

Verified reviewLoved the views, the gardens, the warmth of hospitality from our host Sharon. Beautiful apartment with every need catered for. I wish we could have stayed longer!
There are many steps to get to the apartment which was a little tricky with heavy luggage. Otherwise it was perfection.

Verified reviewOur host was SO accommodating and thoughtful!! In addition to providing an absolutely gorgeous place to stay, she had a fresh meal waiting for us after a long day of travel, extra food for the following days that we could eat at our leisure, and charged lamps to use during load shedding. She gave us suggestions for places to try in town and even have us a ride to town in the morning! We could not have been more pleased. It was absolutely lovely and a huge relief.

Verified reviewSharon welcomed when we arrived, she was very nice and helpful. The studio is (very) well-equipped, super clean, beautifully decorated. Most importantly, the view on the sea is breathtaking, both from the patio and the garden with the pool. You can even see the sunrise from your bed if you want to.
