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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

NetherlandsThere are some rugs in/next to the kitchen, which make it difficult to walk because they slide away...
The location and the apartment with seaview were spectacular!! Kitchen well equiped, more than enough space in the apartment. Ekwctric blankets during wintertime. Beautiful terrace with braai. Very kind host who helped us booking a whale trip. She let us know that we left a bag behind and will sent it to our next location. Thank you so much, Linda!!

South AfricaNot much to say here, everything we needed was provided for. No complaints!
The location is the most gorgeous I have been in on the Whale coast. We spent all day watching whales, jump, and play from breakfast through dinner. With two large Gas grills on the large balcony, a dishwasher, laundry washing machine and even appliances for baking…We throughly enjoyed our stay. The view is constantly spectacular; all the beds and rooms, comfortable… air conditioning and heating available for all the up-and-down Cape Town weather. Linda was an excellent host. She helped us with all questions and needs very promptly though she was all the way in Pretoria seeing family at the time. She connected us to a fantastic guy for whale watching and was able to negotiate a tremendous discount for the family. Absolutely one of my favorites and certainly my go to spot for whale season.

United KingdomJust a warning that there are slippery steps down and then up to this apartment so not for anyone with mobility issues
It's a very comfortable and well appointed apartment. Easy to park right outside. Amazing sea view from the balcony and main bedroom. Linda was really helpful about answering questions and arranging a whale watch tour.

South AfricaThere were a few light bulbs not working in living rooms, making some spots darker at night, especially in the kitchen.
Besides the awesome location and views... The beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well equipped. There were more than enough blankets for the windy and rainy nights. Everything was clean and neat even though we booked on very short notice (booked and checked in within an hour). The surroundings are beautiful and tranquil. We will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Hope to be back soon. :-D

A must for all , we will be back without a doubt, a truly relaxing and peaceful place , thank you Whale 🐋 Cove

The view is breathtakingly beautiful. There is a walking trail and a cave, which is right across the road from the apartment. The apartment is clean and has everything you need from crockery, cutlery dishwasher, pots, pans, electric stove, oven, and washing machine. It has a Cadac gas braai, and there is air conditioning in the main bedroom and lounge. Full package Dstv and a tv in the main bedroom and living area.

FranceIt would be nice to get a back-up so that the wifi works during loadshedding.
Fantastic location. You can watch the bay sitting on the balcony, and can get your cameras out when the whales get active. This part of the bay seems to be their favorite spot (we were there at the end of the season, but saw whales all day long, and saw them jump and breach every day for magical moments). The balcony is also perfect for taking meals, and we watched the most fantastic sunsets every evening. The apartment is very comfortable, super clean, well equipped, with lots of light and space. The beds are very comfortable. Linda gets out of her way to make the guests feel comfortable, she was very helpful when we had issues with the TV channels.

United KingdomWe were caught up in the storm. Linda sent me regular updates during the day regarding the state of the roads as they were closed. Due to this we missed the first night, Linda offered us an extra night, even though she didn't have to. Although we didn't take up the offer, it shows what a brilliant host she is. We will certainly be back. The whales gave us a great performance when we did arrive.
