Safety when booking online

  • As with any large city, there are instances of accommodation fraud – where visitors are duped into paying for accommodation online that is not available for rental.
  • Use our accommodation member listings to contact an accommodation partner directly.
  • Check with Cape Town Tourism if you are unsure if an online listing or website is legitimate
