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 property is located in a safe and quiet neighborhood. It has all the amenities for a comfortable stay and the shower is to die for. Offers beautiful views of the city during sunset. The top highlight is the host, Louisa. She is a gem. On point communication - from booking right through my stay until I checked out. Made me feel at home and treated me like family.
No extra blanket. Windhoek has some chilly nights.
Thank you for your lovely review, Raymond. There's an extra winter blanket in the corner cupboard. I will show you during your next visit. 👍

Verified reviewLouisa is an absolute gem of a person. She immediately made me feel at home and she was very accommodating when I had to extend my stay with a couple of days. The apartment has a lovely view of the city and the hills, especially during sunsets. It's got a good location and very safe. I stayed in the studio apartment and it was quite spacious. Great bed! All in all a great experience and I would love to stay here again!
The parking is a bit small and steep, so large cars might struggle to fit in. I had some issues with the Wi-Fi, which was inconvenient for when I worked remotely, but I was there during the rainy season.

Verified reviewLouisa gave us a lovely, warm welcome. There was a little basket with snacks in the kitchen and coffee/tea, etc, which was much appreciated. The flat is perfect for 2.. we watched the sunset over windhoek from the picture windows, such a view! The bed is super comfy, the shower pressure is superb, the best shower we've had in months!. Louisa's property is within 10/15 walk of a shopping mall/good supermarket and the centre of windhoek and its in a lovely safe neighbourhood. We loved walking 2 minutes to the Heinitzburg Hotel to have sundowners on their terrace, highly recommended! The WiFi was excellent, and there is DSTV with sports and movies. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything looked almost new. This is a great place for either a short visit or a longer working stay. We loved it! Oh, and there was secure off road parking for our 2 motorcycles. Perfect!
Nothing.

Verified reviewSuper nice apartment with all amenities you need for a nice self catering stay. Beautifull view over Windhoek especially at night. Beautifull garden with a patio for braii. Xlose to one of the large malls. Highly recomended. Note that the flat is located high on a hillside so you need a car or taxi or be in good physical condition if you want to walk to shops, restaurants.
