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...).

United KingdomWould prefer a toilet not open with room. Did have a wooden portable screen which provided visual privacy, so not a big issue.
Location and situation were fantastic. Direct view of sea right below was amazing and very close to centre of town with all shops and restaurants nearby. All Staff were lovely and went above and beyond. Loved the courtesy bar too!

United KingdomNothing - we loved it all.
We really really loved this Hotel, best on our trip this year, everything about is was fantastic. We booked for the location and it was perfect - you could safely walk into Hermanus and around the cliffs to Whale watch. The view from the downstairs breakfast and open plan sitting room was spectacular. The view from our room was breathtaking. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated and soooo comfortable, we could have spent hours watching the ever changing ocean. The location of the hotel, outside the centre of Hermanus is peaceful and quiet and in 5 mins you can walk to restaurants and the busy centre. The room took our breath away - it was stunning and the owners had thought of everything to ensure a very comfortable stay in luxury. If you are driving they have a secure parking area. The owners are lovely hosts and we enjoyed a drink at their bar taking to other guests. This is a gorgeous happy place, run immaculately with a lovely team who genuinely want to ensure your trip is a delight …and it was. We will definitely be back.

United KingdomIt's expensive for a B&B. There was a free bar which is great if you are a big drinker and but the pool is just a plunge pool and the cost was double that which we paid in other, equally lovely guesthouses.
Amazing guesthouse on the cliffs overlooking the sea. The rooms all have a wall of windows overlooking the bay and the bathroom was huge and well appointed. The breakfast was excellent. The location is fabulous and it's an easy walk into town.

South AfricaAlthough we also had great views from our room, I would have preferred one of the rooms with a front verandah instead of the side verandah.
Breakfast was lovely every morning, as I have special dietary needs which was attended to each morning by the very friendly ladies in the kitchen. Management are warm and friendly people, it was a memorable stay. Baking something each afternoon was also so special. The facility is well located, with lovely views, and the decor is well thought out. Overall a comfortable stay.

NetherlandsNothing. They simply thought of everything we could imagine. And then some.
Spectacular. There is no other word. We travel a lot, but once in a while, an accommodation manages to exceed all expectations. This one did. The lovely furnished room, the bed with view of the ocean, and even of whales. The very, very decadent breakfast. The little personal touches like a small toiletry bag. The staff, the bar.. It feels like home away from home, but a thousand times more luxurious. A true treat!
