Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Really great value for money. Superb communication with the owners of the apartment - they were so helpful. The location is great too with beautiful sea views - easier to have a car for transport due to the hillside location.

South KoreaWe had an absolutely incredible stay and we wished we could have stayed longer! Stefan is really kind and left us some extra goodies to use in the apartment. He also gave us some pointers on driving around Cape Town. The location was perfect for us since we wanted to see Cape Town as well as explore around Cape Town. The apartment is amazing, a home away from home and really comfortable, with a gorgeous view. We will certainly stay here again if we visit Cape Town.

South AfricaThere was nothing not to like.
The apartment was exactly as advertised. It was clean and fresh. The hosts were very accommodating. We booked late on Saturday night because the place I had booked was a dump. They were ready for us in an hour. Their attention to detail was much appreciated. They gave us chocolates, fruit and bottled water as well as a few condiments. The shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were products we are familiar with and use. I preferred that to fancy branded products that are not usually good. All in all... Stefan and Ian saved our mini break in Hout Bay. We would definitely go there again.

Amazing views. Very comfortable. Our host was incredibly attentive to all our needs but at the same time not intrusive, and provided exceptional customer service. We even had a basket of fresh fruits and chocolate. Very clean apartment. He would inform us when load shedding (power cuts) would occur, though we didn't felt any difference, as they had a backup system, also about restaurants, groceries and he even thought of providing an alternative route on our last day because of the road closures due to the 2 oceans marathon happening nearby. If we had any problems we could contact him as he lived on the premises. I would have no hesitation in returning or recommending.

South AfricaPublic transport could be a bit challenging, so I would recommend having your own transport for easy access to surrounding sites of interest. However, Stefan does provide a list of contactable and reliable taxi drivers based in the neighbourhood.
Beautiful View is situated along the mountain side in Hout Bay, in a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood. As a bonus, you do not need to be concerned about the continuous rolling blackouts in South Africa, since there are rechargable lights, a gas stove and back-up power for the necessary utilities. Stefan provided in our every need - from the usual amenities, right to the beach umbrella, sun screen and pocket tissues. The fruit basket and adult beverages were a nice welcome after the long journey. I can highly recommend the facility for a nice self-drive getaway. If you come over weekends, make sure to visit the lovely craft/food/art market that is just down the hill.
