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 reviewPerfect stay in Hermanus! First of all we loved Hermanus. The coast is stunning, the mountains in the back are beautiful and the vibe is relaxed and safe. On top of that the guest room was fabulous: spot clean, comfortable and well located (the Fernkloof Nature Reserve is just behind the house). Johann is a wonderful and welcoming host who took the time to explain us things about the area and the whales :) We recommend staying here 100%!

Verified reviewIt is everything it advertised
Communal house share feeling. But it’s the same as a hotel that you have a room next door so it was fine.

Verified reviewThe rate we paid for the night was a really low budget amount and I was expecting a lower budget experience, but was so impressed with what we got. The room was amazing with a heated blanket, three types of cereals, a carton of milk, a jar full of rusks and Kit Kat chocolates on the pillows. The bathroom was huge and my husband said its one of the few times he has found a shower he felt that comfortable in. They also provided a nice big bottle of bodywash, which is way better than the silly small soaps some places give. I will definitely be staying here again.
It was further from the town than expected, so not walking distance. This wasnt an issue though as we had a car.

Verified reviewThe room was great and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Hermanus. The area was also very lovely and also pretty quite. The staff were also very helpful. Plus having a bathroom with a full shower and bath and also both of them being quite spacious was a nice bonus. Plus that electric blanket was a real life saver in those cold winter nights.
I feel like it could be stated a bit better on the website that your in a shared space since the room is private but you have a shared living space with other guests which isn't a bad thing and especially for the price, location and the quality of the room I really don't think you could beat it.
