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 Kingdomsorry to say the bathroom water heating needs attention. Of so we were warned to wait 5 minutes after running the taps but the best we got then was just lukewarm water. Also water pressure from the showers was frankly pathetic. I know it will cost money to get something decent in place and the goverment's recent hike of parking charges for the Park will hit all hotels badly BUT consider the customers please.
quite good food quality and range of choice. Service nice. The hot water bottles at night much appreciated! Little things like that help to make a hotel go from good to great!

United KingdomWe had a couple of issues with the water not being hot but it was so warm anyway that a slightly cool shower was welcome. I have no doubt that if we complained about it the staff would have sorted it straight away.
Osero Lodge is a beautiful base for an incredible trip to the Masai Mara. If you get a chance to go on safari then DO IT! It's life changing. The staff are so kind and attentive and the masai guards escorting you to your tent is so comforting when you feel like you are out of your comfort zone.

United Kingdomwould be great to pay before getting there as there were problems with the machine. giving guests the option to oh by payment link would be best.
beautiful setting, attentive staff, great food! many highlights but it is the small touches that make a difference. as it was chilly at night, the staff left a hot water bottle in our beds each night. it was really thoughtful and made it cosy. as it was low season we had pretty much the whole property to ourselves too. we felt very safe and secure with the Masaai guards. a really lovely experience.

The lodge is inside the Park in a very quiet and beautiful place. the rooms are separated to have privacy and are big enough. the bed is really comfortable. The food was one of the best things of Osero Lodge, greetings to the Chef! 5 stars to the staff especially Rose! Wonderful time here.

AustriaThis lodge is simply excellent! Starting from the very first moment we felt warmly welcome. On arrival there was a welcome drink and during our whole stay each and every staff member was always friendly and super attentive. Wonderful tents with a cosy bed, all amenities, and a huge and well equipped bathroom. Excellent restaurant with tasty meals and a wide choice of drinks. The buildings are beautifully set, there's a nice garden and a waterhole where animals can be seen from time to time. Beautiful and clean pool with extra towels. Breakfast is equally excellent, you can choose from various variants. WIFI is available in the restaurant, at the reception and at the pool, the connection works very fast. There are several Maasai villages around where you can follow cultural performances, see the houses and buy souvenirs for fair prices. Alltogether a hidden gem in Maasai Mara!

United Kingdomlocation is a bit confusing, while it is technically outside Mara, a bit far from the interesting things, it can only be accessed via a road passing Sekenani gate so you will need to pay the park entry fee for all days of the stay
the staff is super nice, food is very good and plenty and the whole area of the property is really nice. comfortable tent with proper bathroom and you can hear all kinds of animals outside during the night but they have guards for protection so its not scary

United KingdomOne thing that made us a little uncomfortable was the slightly expectant nature of the local masaai guides when walking us to our rooms at night in regards to tipping. We intended to tip all staff at the end of course as is most common but some guides seemed to hand around each night which made us a little awkward as we went to bed. Maybe we'd suggest advising both guests and guides of a tipping procedure to ease this a little? One other small was the absence of bath plugs for the baths. I had a really sore leg after an earlier accident so was eager to have a bath and after realising the first night there wasn't one, we asked on the second night and was told someone would be sent over immediately, we were guided back to our rooms and it never arrived ( we didn't really want to walk back again to chase it up to avoid another awkward moment with the guides) so ended up improvising with tissue and a soap packet! Apart from these two things all was ok!
The staff were so friendly all the women tending to us throughout our stay were really helpful and even let us use their printer for our Zanzibar visas we'd forgotten to print. We were vegan, so the kitchen avoided meats, most dairy and eggs where possible, which was great. Great packed lunches for game drives and also packed breakfasts for early starts. Great value bar menu too.

The tents were clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and made you feel welcome and at home. The Massai warriors be god guarding the camp at night from ant unwanted wildlife visits was very re- assuring and they would walk you to your tent at night so your felt safe walking the pathways.

South AfricaWiFi only available at reception which is not a huge problem as your there to absorb nature and not be engrossed in your devices.
The lodge is inside the Masai Mara National Reserve. It’s about a 20 minute drive from the Oloolaimutia Gate which seems far but as it’s a dirt road one can’t pick up speed. The lodge is beautiful, well looked after and the staff is amazing. Actually the staff make your experience amazing. Hats off to Simon our game ranger, who was friendly and informative and made sure we got to see the big five.
