Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

My only real complaint was that there were several changes in floor level - no fewer than four between the bedroom and bathroom, which made late night toilet breaks a bit challenging. Possibly unsuitable for elderly guests. Bathroom décor perhaps a bit dated, but fully functional. Finally, while it was not an issue for us, be aware that there is very little privacy in the bedrooms, as the sliding screen doors separating the bedrooms from the lounge are more ornamental than functional and have large holes that you can see through. Also, in bedroom 2 there is a large gap above the gas fireplace (which no longer appears to be functional) so it is completely exposed to the lounge. I don't think the apartment would be suitable for unrelated guests or couples.
Beautiful location in leafy green Constantia, with easy access to the M3 and in proximity to the Constantia wine estates. We booked the apartment, which was very spacious and clean. It was a bit chilly for swimming, but the pool looked inviting. Tennis rackets and balls were made available for use on the tennis court. The hotel itself was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Staff Koko, Mary and Gladys were very friendly and accommodating. Gladys cooked us a delicious English Breakfast every day to our exact requests. Manager Lee kindly offered us a late check out, free of charge, as we had a late flight back to Europe.

The family room was a bit stuffy, with condensation as the evenings gets cooler, but there is a heatpump to compensate for that.
The staff were amazing. They made us feel at home and created a relaxed environment. The rooms were turned daily and not too early, which was great when wanting to sleep in. The kids had so much fun in the pool and playing tennis. A real home away from home place.

The overall experience was oversold in the booking.com advertisement. I felt it was a glorious bed and breakfast venue perhaps more suited to business customers than paying tourists.

It was a wonderful stay! The room was spacious, clean, and equipped with all conveniences—even a coffee bean machine. The grounds were well maintained, with neatly trimmed grass and everything freshly painted. The staff served with a genuine smile, and the breakfast was delicious, offering a wide variety of choices, including a freshly cooked egg made to order. On the day of checkout, we were allowed to stay in the room without any issues until it was time to head to the airport

Loungers by the pool not the most comfortable. Problem with no TV signal during our 2 day stay which was unable to be fixed.
Quiet relaxing stay in this boutique residence. Situated in quiet area but close enough to travel to local wineries. Car essential but Ubers readily available if needed. Nice pool area and well stocked honesty bar available. Excellent breakfast with good continental selection and freshly cooked options made to order by chef.
