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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

SwitzerlandI suppose I was disappointed that there was no possibility of doing a game drive from the Lodge. We came from Kasane and were on our way to Savuti. On reflection I would probably have only stayed one night here.
It has an ideal situation overlooking a waterhole, so instead of going to look for the animals, they all come to you. Saw a wide variety of animals coming to the waterhole, especially at night. It's an ideal place if you want a rest from driving or travelling. It is well worth seeing and I'm glad we stayed there.

United KingdomLoved sitting in the bath, just watching a herd of elephants or maybe 1000 water buffalo come past
The bar and restaurant area are quite incredible. You can sit there day or night and see animals quite often in the hundreds around the water hole. The whole Safari comes to you whilst you have a drink. Incredible place.

IsraelI liked everything.
The location was attractive and interesting , far away from any civilization. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. .The food was excellent and well served. You need a 4x4 to get there because of the sand. Highly recommended.

United StatesUnfortunately we had to leave after our 1st night due to the condition of the lodge. All the surfaces we touched turned our hands black, the sheets were stained, the toilet didn't flush, the lights didn't work in the bedrooms, there was an old q-tip in one of our bathrooms along with soap buildup and scum on all the surfaces in the shower, no soap, no towels, no toilet paper and no tissues in either room, and cobb and spider webs in every single corner that one looked. The "upstairs entertaining viewing area" included several broken stools. With no AC/proper fans, the temps in the room was well above 45+ degrees, and we found no less than 15 spiders and other large insects crawling around. The "fully equipped" kitchen had a freezer that we were told was a refrigerator but we were never able to confirm as it did not turn on. We were also told that the stove wasn't working due to a problem with the gas. While it is stated that there is WiFi, it doesn't work (even in the lobby) so don't plan on using it. There is no mosquito netting in the rooms so I guess bring your own? The drive to the lodge is also very challenging. We had been self driving Namibia&Botswana for 3 weeks and hadn't come across any road half as bad. We felt unsafe and weren't given proper information on how to handle it. Do not book here if you don't have A LOT of sand driving experience. The service was unfortunately equally bad. I also expressed all of my concerns with the owner of the lodge and received plenty of excuses but never offered anyway to make our experience right. I've attached screenshots of his response to my request for a refund for the state of the lodge in the pictures. To top all of this off, the lodge is quite expensive - it costs more per night than some of the top quality, full service lodges in Kasane.
The watering hole is very unique - it is private to the property with so many elephants and water buffalos. The overview deck is very close, really a cool spot. However, the viewing area closes at 9pm so very limited time to utilize it between arrival and dinner.

United StatesJust feel like the lodge was lacking love and was overly Spartan for this price point. Felt more like a hunting lodge with no decorations, no personal touch, and average food more in line with places we have stayed that are half the price.
Wonderful game viewing, excellent location
