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.).

South AfricaThe stairs is a little concerning for small children & there was no travel cot available so maybe if those items (child proof safety gate) were available on request or rental at a small fee that would be helpful.
It’s such a great location, conveniently above the shopping mall and in walking range of all the places you’d like to go to when visiting Hermanus. The apartment was spacious, clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. I also liked the balcony.

South AfricaThe room was perfect, the only pity was that there was no TV in the bedroom as the weather at the time during the stay was cold and wet and we were unable to make use of the outside fire/braai place due to that but not at any fault of the hotel. I am definitely considering a Summer stay there
The location is prime, situated in the city center of Hermanus, close to all amenities and restaurants. The fact that it's situated within a little mall is perfect for self catering. The restaurant was clean and menu was good.

United KingdomNothing! Perfect in every way!!
Great accommodation so close to walker bay! Paul and Marius super helpful, outstanding service. Felt very safe in the neighbourhood, checkers is downstairs to buy food supplies and a liquor shop. The accommodation overlooks the shopping mall, so very convenient. 5 mins for watching the whales and the tourist shops and boutiques, as well as restaurants. Parking in the basement very secure. Outstanding stay and made our trip to Hermanus very special, thank you especially to Paul for his helpful service.

Saudi Arabia- The reception entrance is not clear as it is located on the first floor, and also the entrance to the suites from the middle of the mall is a bit tiring. - The suite is two floors, which is also a bit tiring for the elderly and dangerous for children because of the openings between the stairs.
- the location is great ( The hotel is located in the middle of the mall and also near to the supermarket). - the staff at the reception are great.

South AfricaThe breakfast did not meet my expectations — it was too limited and felt too basic, especially considering the standard of the hotel. I believe there’s room for improvement to better match the overall quality of the place.

From the moment we arrived at the Whale Coast All-Suite Hotel, we knew we were in for something special. The check-in process was smooth and welcoming, with friendly staff who went out of their way to make us feel at home. The suite itself was modern, spacious, and immaculately clean. The attention to detail—from the comfortable beds and quality linens to the well-equipped kitchen and stylish decor—was impressive. It truly felt like a luxurious home away from home. One of the highlights was the central location—perfectly situated close to shops, restaurants, and Hermanus’s iconic coastal paths. We especially loved how easy it was to explore the town and return to the peaceful comfort of the hotel. The team at DCC Hotel Group has created a world-class experience with this property. Every interaction with staff felt personal and warm. They were always available to assist with anything, whether it was restaurant recommendations or local insights. Highly recommended—we’re already planning our return!

South AfricaSince it’s located within a shopping centre, it was a bit noisy during the day. That said, it was quiet at night. Netflix wasn’t working initially, but staff sorted it out quickly and there were other entertainment options.
The location was super convenient — every restaurant we visited was just a short walk away, which meant no need for Ubers after a few glasses of wine! The beds were incredibly comfy, the space was clean, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Would definitely book this place again and wished we stayed another night!

United Arab EmiratesCleaning was done daily but some areas looked in need of a deep clean.
This was one of the few options available for last minute booking in the Hermanus area that could accommodate our family group. I was concerned that it would lack ambience since it is situated above a mall. We all loved being so close to our favorite stores. Checkers, Truworths and Clicks downstairs, and Woolies across the road. Perfect!!! Breakfast was basic but we enjoyed the eggs, muffins and croissants. Kids loved the french toast.
