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.).

United KingdomWe were billed £100 more than what Booking.com quoted us - so really recommend paying in advance. I would also say if you want to be on Lake Naivasha then this isn't the place to stay (there are other places on the lake) and you could be closer to Elsa Gate if you also wanted to do Hells Gate
Staff were extremely friendly. They were also very helpful about arranging breakfast boxes for us as we wanted to be up and out early. Generally everything was lovely and the cottages are very spacious.

United KingdomWe didn't have a car/driver so it was difficult to find and get to. The hotel did organise a boat trip with a really good guide on the local lake and also a cycle trip to Hells Gate for us. The lodge is definitely aimed at people on organised safari's or with their own transport. The food was ok, but buffet style and fairly international.
A lovely relaxing place to stay away from it all. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool was a lovely place to relax. Some of the food was freshly cooked to order.

The room was excellent because it was effectively a cottage. However if the second room is let out to an unrelated party, then sharing the living room and kitchen could get uncomfortable.

NorwayWe would have liked to read about the interesting fauna and birds in the location, and about the history of the lodge.
It was a pleasant surprise, it shows the experience of the management and care for details. The location is comprised with cabins with separated rooms. You pay for a room and you´ll share a common space in the cabin, such as the entrance and the TV space. The lodge is in a remote area, and even so, wifi was working very well. Food is very good and abundant. Staff is very welcoming, doing their best, even the young people under training. We will certainly come back if we are doing more visits to the parks in the region.

United StatesWe needed to hire a cab to get to the parks we wanted to visit. While they are only 10-15 minutes away by car, the cost of the cab was quite expensive.
The property is beautiful, the staff so helpful and the food was very good. Loved all the birds we saw as we walked around the property.
