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 reviewFrom the very first minute you feel surrounded by care and safety. Marc, the owner, is a truly pleasant and welcoming person. As a creative soul, I felt completely at home here: everything is so beautiful, clean, cozy, with lots of artistic details. Loved it! Every evening it was such a pleasure to enjoy our time in front of the fireplace. Strongly recommend!

Verified reviewWe enjoyed our 2 night stay at The Vishuis. The location was perfect and we could walk to the waterfront where there are many restaurants and the clifftop pathway. We enjoyed the town and especially walking along the cliffs. The location is quiet and Marc is a hands on host meeting you upon arrival and showing you around your suite and how the gates work. It was fabulous to have secure parking this close to the ocean so we did not need to move our car. Marc was really helpful with restaurant and activity recommendations.
Nothing, everything was great.

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay in this cosy yet surprisingly spacious room—it was beautifully decorated with a relaxed boho vibe that made it feel instantly welcoming. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, and the outdoor area was the perfect spot to unwind. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to great restaurants and the lookout, making it both convenient and scenic. A truly lovely place to stay!

Verified reviewMarc met us and showed us around the apartment which was gorgeous - huge living dining area and comfy sofas - very stylish - contemporary but comfy. Short safe walk to the cliff path and into Hermanus to eat. Book if you want to eat out in Hermanus - the kitchen facilities are excellent but we wanted to eat out and our preferred places were fully booked on a Tuesday night
There is just a plunge pool - if you want to swim then a 5 minute walk gets you to the marine pool which is a tidal pool on the sea front.

Verified reviewThe location could not be more perfect, within walking distance to the little town, restaurants and all the quirky coffee spots etc. The decor and attention to detail truly exhibits the owner's passion for this little place.
A fan in the bedroom please - and a flat sheet (the winter duvet was too thick and very hot)!

We had no air conditioning in the property and so was a bit warm during the night.

Verified reviewFantastic stay at The Vishuis. Property is really nice and comfortable. Location is ideal within Hermanus. Marc gave a great introduction when we arrived, not only telling us everything we needed to know about the property for our stay, but gave really good suggestions of things to do in the local area. Would definitely like to return in the future.
