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.).

SpainGreat. Experience overall
Superb, I think is the perfect apartment for Summer, at winter a bit chilli. Great location in a beautiful area. Summer time with the swimming pool will be exceptional. Very close to Simon's town, Penguin reserve and Cape town national park. Great experience.

United KingdomVery minor detail.. Two coffee plungers neither of which worked very well. One actually had a hole in the bottom of the glass.
Great location, stones throw from the sea and a short drive to view the penguins. Great views from pretty much every window. All the amenities we needed

South AfricaNothing to complain about.
Isaac the caretaker, was friendly and very professional. The host Neville gave us information about good eateries and places to visit whilst in Simon's Town and made our stay really fun for our family. Very professional and would highly recommend Whale Rock. We even got to see whales the first day. Thanks so much Neville and Isaac and team. 👏

Perfect location, comfy beds, and the views were absolutely beautiful from every angle. Exactly like it was advertised. We really enjoyed our stay, and we will definitely be back again in the Summer to enjoy the gorgeous pool and outdoor area. Thank you to Isaac who greeted and welcomed us and thank you to Neville for putting us back on the road and for your hospitality.

United KingdomThe directions on Booking.com wrongly put the address as Ixia Street. This confused our sat nav as it was actually Ixia Crescent.
The location is perfect, a short hop from Simons Town cafes and restaurants and even closer to Boulders Beach for the penguins. Outstanding views from the front of the house. The weather was really windy when we stayed so unfortunately we could not use the lovely pool and deck. Had it been less windy we are sure we would have loved it.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing not to love!
We wanted a relaxing holiday, away from the city centre and this is what Whale Rock offers. Although reaching the centre of Cape Town is only a 45 minute drive there was enough to keep us entertained within easy reach of here. The accommodation is superb with everything one needs for a self catering stay. Supermarkets are only 10 minutes away as are lovely local beaches which are safe for swimming. Cape Point National Park is on your doorstop as is lovely Simons Town and Kalk Bay is only a 20 minute drive. We can't recommend staying here any higher. It offered us a wonderful holiday with absolutely nothing to moan about! Wonderful hosts made us feel extremely welcome.
