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 reviewThe hosts were very friendly, very accommodating and eager to ensure your comfort. The cottage adjoins the garage at the back and is much bigger than it first appears, giving plenty of living space inside and a small private terrace outside as well as the use of the quite amazing facilities in the main garden/pool area. It is homely, well equipped and most importantly, it was clean. You do need a car, but with the car Plotsklaps is well placed to reach the sights of both Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula, as well as local shopping and restaurants.
I would have to think hard to find fault. The photos are accurate and you will get what you see.
Helina, thank you for staying with us. We’re glad you were happy with your choice to stay with us, we hope to see you again on your next visit to Cape Town. All the best David & Rachael 🇿🇦

Verified reviewVery well equipped self-catering house in a great location to visit all the main sites in and around Cape Town (if you have a car). You stay in the annexe, behind the main house (if you look at it from the pool), so you have privacy if you want. The beautiful and spacious outside space is shared with the owners - we were happy to meet them for a friendly chat, but we also felt that they gave us our space. Great for families - our kids absolutely loved the pool, the garden, and of course the friendly dog!
Thank you for taking the time to review Plotsklaps & sharing your positive experience to help future guests. We are glad you enjoyed returning to your ‘relaxed home’ at Plotsklaps after busy days out enjoying all Cape Town has to offer. All the best for the future David & Rachael & Amy 🐶🐾

Verified reviewRachael and David were excellent hosts from the start. They contacted us prior to our stay to make sure all our requirements were met. On arrival the fridge contained complimentary items, including milk, eggs, fruit, cheese, bread etc, which was a great touch! Throughout our stay they made sure we had everything we needed and they were quite happy for us to have friends over for a braai (bbq) in their large entertainment area! The cottage itself was very comfortable and spacious and contained all items needed for our stay. Our 2 young kids, were also well accommodated for during our stay, with plenty of books and toys for them to use. They loved using the pool and the kids play area on the grounds! The cottage location was perfect for us, being close enough to the areas we wanted to visit, but also far enough from the main roads to enjoy the peace and quiet! We felt incredibly safe during our stay and we'd definitely recommend this place to our friends and family. We will definitely look at booking this cottage on our next stay in Cape Town.
No issues at all!
Thank you Daniel We are happy you & your family enjoyed everything we offer & had a comfortable stay here. Thank you for your complimentary review, it is really helpful to share your experience with future visitors, especially with little children. We look forward to welcoming you back on future visits to SA. All the best for 2025 David & Rachael & the Plotsklaps Team

Verified reviewStunning place with lovely hosts that really make you feel at home! Exceptionally friendly and helpful. The cottage is spacious, clean and comfortable with everything you need (and the extra bit more). Heated blankets for cold days in winter and homemade goodies on arrival (even got some recipes ;-). There is also a generator to cover those load shedding gaps - very useful in these times. We felt very safe in the area, away from the hustle and bustle of the city in a lovely country style thatched roofed cottage with an amazing garden, chickens and a cuddly dog - yet all the important locations close enough to reach comfortably by car. Thank you Rachael and David, hope to see you again soon!

So nice to meet you all at last after the disappointment of the cancellation in 2020. Thank you for the compliments. While the weather was unpredictable during your stay, we are glad the little extra’s kept you warm & cosy. Even on the better days that the environment is peaceful enough for practice your yoga in the garden. Thanks again & hope to see you again.

Verified reviewEverything about our stay was absolutely perfect. The house has really every equipment you might need. We felt absolutely comfortable there and our kids loved the garden and the ability to roam outside. Rachael and David were great hosts. Very helpful and friendly. David even took us out on False Bay with his boat, so we were able to experience Cape Point on the water as well. He let our son use his fishing equipment and my brother was even able to take a dive out at Cape Point. Thanks a lot again for a great week in Tokai!!
Hello Christina and Andy Thank you for the great review and the time spent with us here at Plotsklaps. Hope the trip to Chobe and Victoria Falls went well and that you saw lots of game.
