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

Verified reviewThis place is a hidden gem in Camps Bay! Suzanne, the owner, is wonderful - she was there to greet us when we arrived and to show us around. She checked in both days to see what we planned to do for breakfast and if we were eating breakfast there, what time we would like it ready. The room was lovely! It was spacious, clean, had a great sized bathroom and cute little balcony that had a view of table mountain. Location was great too - quick Uber ride to the main strip of restaurants in Camps bay (you can walk too, but it's uphill on the way back haha), you can walk to the beach and it's not far from anywhere else you might want to go in Cape Town. The house is beautiful with a big balcony (or terrace?) with awesome views and a shared plunge pool. If you come across this place and a room is available, definitely book!! Thank you for such a wonderful stay, we wish we could have stayed longer!

Verified reviewSuz and Wolf are the loveliest hosts, truly making you feel at home away from home. Their home is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are specious, quiet and incredibly clean. The bed and pillows are so comfortable. We had the best sleep. Breakfast was always fresh and waiting for us.
Everything was perfect

Verified reviewProperty was everything as advertised, plus more. Room was spacious and well appointed, with a lovely view of the sea. A very nice continental breakfast, made even more pleasant by being able to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the view of the sea. Property was very clean, with well thought through guest amenities. It was obvious that Suzanne and Wolfgang have taken pride in the property and have thought about how to make it a great stay for their guests. We will certainly come back again when we next visit Cape Town!
Nothing at all apparent.

Verified reviewSuzanne and Wolf were lovely hosts who were so generous and let us have a late check out and access to the facilities on day of departure because we had an evening flight. The room was beautiful, as well as the shared terrace and living room. It was such a wonderful stay and we were so glad we stayed in this location rather than by camps bay itself. It was quieter and quaint and only a 15 min walk to camps bay restaurants if needed. We’ll definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Verified reviewWolfgang was very friendly and welcoming. Safe, quiet, clean and great location in Camps Bay. The suite ( sea view) was exceptionally good, spacious, beautifully decorated . We loved the antique decor ambience. The suite has one of the best sea view (s) in Camps Bay, out of this world. We had an opportunity to look at the rest of the suites which overlook the mountains, the views are breath-taking too. In summary, all suites are spacious and have awesome views , depending on one's preferences of either mountain view or sea view. Breakfast was very generous with a selection of different types of delicious bread and spreads, plus a coffee machine. The neighbourhood has a lot of restaurants within a walking distance. Additionally, we were offered to check out at anytime of the day, that was very generous. We will definitely be back, we have actually found a home in CT at Bakovenbay Luxury Suits.

Verified reviewI loved the views, both from the main terrace overlooking the sea, and my room terrace which overlooked the twelve apostles. I loved the decor of the rooms and living room. The breakfast was very generous and delicious and it was super helpful to have the option to take a voucher to a local cafe on the day that we got up early for a parkrun. Wolfgang and Suzanne were very welcoming and I really appreciated their flexibility to let me stay until mid afternoon when my transfer picked me up.
Very minor but I struggled to open the door out to the main terrace on some occasions.

Verified reviewBakovenbay Luxury Suites is a great choice. An intimate property, located in a quiet area. Super nice and helpful hosts. Tasty and very nicely served breakfast seated on the terrace or in the common area. A nice terrace with sun loungers and a jacuzzi overlooking the mountains and the ocean. Garage available if you have a car. Overall a very nice experience - highly recommended!
The bed could be bigger.

Verified reviewEverything seems to be said already. This is a really, really nice place to stay in, both the house itself and Camps Bay. Cosy, spacious room with a fantastic view, delicious breakfast, a big garage in the house should one need it and even an elevator! Lots of advice about what to do and where to eat. Suzanne and Wolfgang have created a home away from home.
